Our Annandale deals are running now for homes and businesses along Johnston Street, Booth Street, Trafalgar Street and Wigram Road, and near Hinsby and Cohen parks. Mention you spotted the Annandale deal as you book, and we knock it off the figure.
Nearly half of Annandale is terraces and semis: 47.2 per cent in the 2021 Census, four times the NSW rate of 11.7. Flats account for 28.8 per cent and detached houses 22.8 per cent. The suburb was carved from George Johnston’s grant and cut into lots from the late 1800s, so late-Victorian and Federation fabric is everywhere, including semi-detached villas on Collins Street. We handle rewires of old cabling, board replacements squeezed into narrow halls and new circuits for rear kitchen extensions.
Annandale grew with factories as well as houses. North’s Factory on Trafalgar Street was once the Beale piano works, Australia’s first and largest piano maker. Today the suburb leans toward small and micro businesses, many in converted industrial space. We deliver studio and office fit-outs, lighting, data and three-phase work for them.
We offer same-day service from the Rozelle Bay end down to Parramatta Road. Urgent Annandale calls tend to be a terrace board melting a fuse, a semi sharing a failed circuit with next door, dead lights in a studio block, or water through an old roof reaching a light fitting.
Annandale is a suburb of renters and young families as much as long-term owners: 41.8 per cent of dwellings are leased, and the median age is just 38. That gives us three steady streams of work. Landlords and agents need smoke alarms and safe boards between tenancies, new owners want old terraces modernised, and small businesses in converted workshops need more power. As a local Annandale electrician we see all three in a typical week.
The streets themselves shape each job. Terraces off Johnston Street hide cable behind lath and plaster; the witches’ hat houses and Victorian villas need care around original detail; the suburb’s studio flats are all about compact boards. Chasing an intermittent fault, adding circuits for a new kitchen or handling an emergency callout is standard work for us across the Inner West.
Flats make up 28.8 per cent of homes, and 3.7 per cent of dwellings are studios, well above the state figure. We fit compact boards, add outlets and trace faults to lot or common property.
With 41.8 per cent of homes rented, agents call us between leases to replace old smoke alarms, test RCDs and confirm the board is safe, then send dated paperwork to the landlord.
Old industrial buildings such as the former Beale piano works on Trafalgar Street now house offices and studios. We add power, lighting and data points for new layouts without disturbing original features.
Many Annandale residents run businesses from home. We add dedicated circuits for equipment, extra power along desks and better lighting in back rooms and garden studios off the rear lanes.
Having pulled perished cable out of many Annandale terraces and semis, our licensed team knows how circuits get shared through party walls between neighbours.
We quote after seeing the work, and the number is written down. A small studio flat and a Nelson Street terrace are priced on their own merits.
A dead board in a rented Booth Street semi or a tripping circuit in a Johnston Street business is moved up our list so the problem is sorted quickly.
Annandale renters, terrace owners and small workshop tenants make up a good share of our 250+ customers, and word travels fast along these tight streets.
Anything we install in Annandale carries a labour guarantee with no end date, including rewires concealed behind restored cornices and ceiling roses.
Call with your address and any access notes, like a rear lane, shared side passage or strata intercom. We then lock in a time that suits you or your tenants.
Once we have opened the board and followed the cable paths through the terrace, we email a fixed amount, so there are no surprises once the job is done.
Street parking along Johnston Street and The Crescent can be scarce, so we plan where the van goes and turn up within the time we agreed.
Drop sheets protect polished boards and stair runners, rubbish leaves with us, and you get the compliance certificate and a short note on what we changed.

Spyro founded us in 2017, and the crew he leads now counts five-plus licensed electricians. Annandale suits our way of working because so much of it is old: the jobs call for patience with lath and plaster, clear advice for landlords, and quick turnarounds for small businesses. We rewire terraces, replace boards, set up studios and fix faults here every week, and the same electrician usually sees a job through from quote to certificate.

Annandale was cut into lots in the late 1800s and more heavily after John Young’s death in 1907, and 47.2 per cent of homes are still attached terraces or semis. Many carry wiring from several eras patched together, which is why full or partial rewires are the job we quote most here.
Once an Annandale job is done, we issue the CCEW that NSW regulation demands. In terraces with over a century of patched wiring, we either fix old work we disturb or record it for you in writing. Replacing or altering a switchboard means RCD protection on all final subcircuits under AS/NZS 3000, and we use Type A or better, because Type AC devices were ruled out for new installations from 1 May 2023.
Before any work starts, we agree a written fixed amount. Adding lights in a studio flat can be a short visit, while the same job in a two-storey terrace off Johnston Street may mean lifting floorboards and working around original plaster. So we inspect, explain the job and then commit to one figure.
Ceramic fuses in a Collins Street semi, a smoke alarm deadline from your property manager, or a new studio in a Trafalgar Street factory conversion that needs power? Call 02 8999 3691. A licensed electrician will look at the job and give you a written figure, with the labour guaranteed for life.
Annandale terrace owners, renters, landlords and small business tenants ask us these most often. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Most days, yes. Weekdays we are on the tools 7am until 5:30pm, Saturdays 7am until 2pm, and Sundays we stay shut. Annandale is close to routes we cover daily, so calling 02 8999 3691 in the morning usually means someone can come that day. Anything that smells hot, sparks or cuts the whole house gets moved ahead of routine bookings.
We look first and quote second. Two jobs that sound alike can be very different here: a new circuit in a studio block with open ceiling space is quick, but running cable through an old terrace with brick party walls and lath ceilings takes far more time. After inspecting, you receive one written amount that holds unless you widen the scope.
It is more common than people think. In older Annandale semis and terraces, earlier owners sometimes ran a circuit or neutral across a shared wall, or both homes were once fed from one supply. Symptoms include lights flickering when a neighbour turns something on or a safety switch tripping for no clear reason. We trace each circuit to its source and separate anything that crosses the boundary.
Internal rewiring is usually possible; the main care is on the street face. Annandale has many listed items along Johnston Street, and plenty of older homes whose original street fronts owners want kept. We keep meter boxes, conduit and exterior lights discreet, avoid damage to original plaster and joinery, and suggest you check with Inner West Council before changing anything visible from the street.
Yes. Close to 29 per cent of Annandale homes are flats, including many studios and one-bedroom units. Faults inside your unit from your own board are normally yours, while main boards, hallway and stair lighting and shared services usually belong to the owners corporation. We work out which side of the line a fault sits on then put our finding in writing for you and the strata manager alike.
Each level of the property needs a working smoke alarm, tenants’ fault reports start a two-business-day repair clock, and no alarm may stay in service past ten years from its build date. Mains-powered alarms are licensed-electrician work only. More than four in ten Annandale homes are rented, so we do this often and can also carry out smoke alarm testing between tenants.
Sometimes. Annandale averages 1.3 vehicles per dwelling, and many terraces have no off-street parking, so a charger usually needs a rear lane garage, carport or secure car space. Where there is one, we confirm the board has room, lay a dedicated feed out the back and mount the charger. We cannot install chargers on public footpaths or street kerbs.
Yes. Annandale has a long history of workshops and factories, and several now hold offices, design studios and small makers. We plan power, lighting and data for the new layout, check whether the supply needs upgrading and provide exit and emergency lighting where required. Our commercial electricians work around your hours so the business can keep going.
We do this often in Annandale. A backyard studio needs its own supply from the house board, usually trenched or run along the boundary, with proper RCD protection. Inside, we add power where desks go, good LED lighting and a data point. For home offices in a spare room we add circuits so heaters, computers and printers are not all on one outlet.
Every one of our electricians is licensed in NSW and insured. We have been in business since 2017 under founder Spyro, and the labour on everything we install carries a lifetime guarantee. Each job also comes with a CCEW, so you have a compliance record for insurance, sale or your landlord’s file.
We cover all of Annandale 2038, including Johnston Street, Booth Street, Trafalgar Street, Annandale Street, Nelson Street, Collins Street, Wigram Road, The Crescent and parks such as Hinsby, Cohen and Douglas Grant Memorial Park. We also work across Forest Lodge, Glebe, Camperdown, Stanmore, Leichhardt, Lilyfield and Rozelle.
