Renting a flat near Evans Avenue, owning a brick cottage south of Grafton Street or trading beside the new Eastlakes shopping centre? Our specials run right across 2018, from Florence Avenue to the Barber Avenue reserve. Just quote the offer as you book.
Units dominate Eastlakes: 69.0 per cent of dwellings were flats in the 2021 Census, against 21.7 per cent across NSW, and 54.6 per cent had two bedrooms. Much of the housing went up after Rosebery Racecourse was redeveloped in the 1960s, so we meet plenty of original apartment blocks with small, crowded boards. South of Grafton Street the streets turn to mostly single-storey houses. We handle rewiring for older flats and cottages, extra circuits for kitchens and board replacements in both.
Evans Avenue is the commercial heart, with a newer shopping centre that opened in 2021 and the older centre closed in 2025 for redevelopment. We look after commercial electrical work for shops, food outlets and offices nearby, including lighting refits, new circuits for equipment and repairs planned around opening hours.
Older unit blocks here produce familiar urgent calls: a flat losing power after a shared circuit overloads, a scorched outlet behind a fridge, or a stairwell left dark. Our same-day service covers Eastlakes from Evans Avenue and Florence Avenue down to the Botany border.
Half of Eastlakes households rent, 50.1 per cent in 2021, so a big share of our jobs come from landlords, agents and strata managers keeping flats compliant and liveable. Owner-occupiers in the cottages south of Grafton Street call us too, usually when an old fuse board or a patchwork of past repairs starts causing trouble. As a local Eastlakes electrician, we also fit ceiling fans for top-floor flats that trap summer heat, and add dedicated supply for washing machines and dryers squeezed into small laundries.
Eastlakes is a multilingual suburb, and we take time to explain options clearly and in writing. Shops on Evans Avenue lean on us for quick repairs so trading is not interrupted. When something cannot wait, our emergency electricians aim to reach you the same day, before moving on to other jobs across the Eastern Suburbs.
When Rosebery Racecourse was redeveloped in the 1960s, the land became flats, towers and shops. In those blocks we upgrade cramped meter panels, add circuits for modern kitchens and repair common-area lighting for strata committees.
South of Grafton Street most homes are single-storey houses. Older ones can still have ceramic fuses, perished cable or limited earthing, which we test and replace so the home meets current standards.
With half of all homes rented, agents call us between tenancies to test and replace smoke alarms, confirm safety switches work and supply dated records for the landlord's file.
Eastlakes shopping is centred on Evans Avenue, with a newer centre opened in 2021. We rewire shopfronts between tenants, fit display lighting and fix faulty circuits for cafes, grocers and service businesses.
Plenty of our hours have gone into Eastlakes blocks built after the racecourse subdivision and the brick houses south of Grafton Street, so we know where their wiring tends to fail.
We quote after we look, in writing, as one fixed figure. A two-bedroom flat near Evans Avenue and a cottage on a quiet side street are priced separately and plainly.
A tenant without power or a shop on Evans Avenue that has lost its lights is treated as priority work, and we reshuffle the day to reach Eastlakes quickly.
Our 250+ customers include Eastlakes renters, landlords, retirees in long-held cottages and small shop owners, and many heard about us from someone in the same block.
Labour on Eastlakes wiring we put in, from flats to shops, carries a lifetime guarantee, so a rewire done between tenants stays protected well into the future.
Let us know the street, unit number and whether the block has a locked foyer or shared car park. We then choose a time that suits you or your tenant.
We check the board and the problem circuit, explain what we found in simple terms and email a fixed written price. You decide before anything is started.
We arrive inside the time window we gave, allowing for parking near the Evans Avenue shops and Eastern Distributor traffic. If a delay happens, we call you directly.
Floors are protected, dust and offcuts go with us, and you get the compliance certificate plus a short explanation of the changes made, ready for your records.

Eastlakes became part of our regular patch soon after Spyro opened for business in 2017, and our five-plus licensed electricians still work here most weeks. Our jobs here range from alarm upgrades for rental flats to full board replacements in older cottages, plus quick repairs for shops on Evans Avenue. We explain options plainly, confirm everything in writing and keep the same electrician on the job from first visit to the compliance certificate.

Much of Eastlakes was built after the 1960s racecourse redevelopment, and 69.0 per cent of homes are flats, many with boards that predate current RCD rules. Replacing those older boards is the upgrade we quote most in 2018.
Paperwork matters in Eastlakes rentals, so each visit finishes with a CCEW (the state’s Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work) lodged under your address. In blocks built during the 1960s racecourse redevelopment, any original cabling we disturb is either upgraded or noted in writing. Swapping or modifying a board means residual current protection for each final subcircuit, and Type AC units have been excluded from fresh work since 1 May 2023.
Every Eastlakes quote is a written fixed amount given after we have seen the job. That matters here: fitting a new outlet in a second-floor flat with an accessible board is quick, while rewiring a single-storey cottage south of Grafton Street means crawling a low roof space and replacing long runs of old cable. Looking first lets us price it fairly and hold to it.
A flat that trips whenever the kettle and heater run together, a fuse board in a Grafton Street cottage, or a shop on Evans Avenue that needs brighter lighting? Phone 02 8999 3691, have a licensed electrician inspect it and receive a written fixed price with lifetime labour cover.
Eastlakes renters, landlords, cottage owners and local shopkeepers ask us these questions most. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Quite often, yes. Crews start at 7am, working to 5:30pm Monday to Friday and to 2pm on Saturday, and Eastlakes lies right on our regular south-eastern route. Morning calls to 02 8999 3691 have the best chance of a same-day slot. Mention any smoke, a hot plastic smell or a main breaker refusing to hold, as those calls jump ahead.
We give a price once we have seen the work. In Eastlakes two similar requests can differ a lot: a light swap in a newer unit is simple, while the same job in an original 1960s block may involve old cable and a crowded board. After inspecting, you get a fixed price in writing, and it stays unless you ask for more work.
Older Eastlakes flats often have only a few circuits, so a heater, kettle and microwave can overload one line. Sometimes the cause is a faulty appliance or worn wiring instead. We test the circuits, find the cause and recommend the right fix, which may be a dedicated appliance circuit, a board upgrade or replacing the faulty item.
As a rule, cabling downstream of your own unit board is the lot owner’s concern, while main switchboards, stair and hallway lighting, the car park and intercom are common property managed by strata. With most Eastlakes homes being flats, we deal with this split often, and we give both the owner and strata manager a written report after tracing the fault.
Landlords must keep an alarm going on each floor, act within two business days when tenants flag a fault and retire any unit ten years past the date printed on it. Hard-wired alarms must go in via a licensed electrician. With half of local homes rented, we do these checks regularly and give landlords dated records for their files.
Usually, yes. Some houses south of Grafton Street still run on ceramic fuses with little or no RCD protection, which means faults can go undetected and appliances are poorly protected. A modern board with safety switches cuts power quickly if something goes wrong. We inspect the existing wiring first, since some older cable may also need replacing.
Yes. Top-floor flats in Eastlakes can get very warm in summer, and fans are a cheap way to move air. We check the ceiling structure, fit a suitable fan and switch, and for split systems run a dedicated circuit from the board where capacity allows. Strata approval may be needed for outdoor units.
We do. With the newer Eastlakes shopping centre now trading and the old site awaiting redevelopment, shopfronts along Evans Avenue need lighting changes, new circuits for equipment and repairs. We plan noisy work outside peak trading, keep walkways clear and provide certification for the landlord and the business owner.
Often, with strata approval. Car park supply usually comes from common property, so the owners corporation must agree before work starts. We check the building’s spare capacity and cable route to your space, then give the committee a written proposal. For houses with a driveway south of Grafton Street, installation is simpler.
All of Eastlakes 2018, including Evans Avenue, Grafton Street, Florence Avenue, Barber Avenue, O’Rourke Crescent, Maloney Street, Sparks Street, Vernon Avenue, Harry Street and the streets around The Lakes Golf Club.
