Picton specials are live now for homes and shops around Argyle Street, the Picton Mall on Margaret Street, the lanes near the railway station and the Nangarin vineyard village out west. Ask about the current deal when you ring and it goes straight onto your written quote.
Picton is house country. The 2021 Census counted 90.1 per cent separate houses, well above the 65.6 per cent NSW figure, and 57.1 per cent of homes carry four or more bedrooms. Housing ranges from older places in the town streets that grew after the railway arrived in 1863 to newer brick homes and the covenant-run Nangarin vineyard village. We handle switchboard replacements, fresh circuits for studies and sheds, ceiling fans for hot valley summers and fault tracing in older town homes.
Picton is the administrative centre of Wollondilly Shire, and trade clusters along Argyle Street and the blocks off Menangle, Margaret and Colden Streets. Picton Mall holds Coles and 16 specialty shops. For pubs, offices and retail we look after commercial maintenance, brighter lighting, extra outlets and exit signage, timed to suit trading.
Our vans offer same-day service to Picton as part of their regular Macarthur runs. Common urgent calls here: a safety switch that drops out once heavy rain soaks an outdoor circuit, a dead board after a storm moves up the valley, and a warm, smelly power point in an older house.
Most Picton calls come from families paying off roomy houses; 47.2 per cent of homes carried a mortgage at the 2021 Census, against 32.5 per cent statewide. Those owners want more capacity for studies, split systems and second fridges, safer boards before a sale, and better outdoor lighting. As your Picton electrician we also keep shops and offices running along Argyle Street and the Picton Mall end of Margaret Street.
Stonequarry Creek drives plenty of our work. The June 2016 storm pushed about two metres of water through Argyle Street, and in March 2022 the SES told the town centre to prepare to evacuate, so locals know how fast wet wiring becomes a hazard. We test and recertify circuits after inundation, chase nuisance tripping, and send an emergency electrician when a fault cannot sit. The same crew covers Thirlmere, Tahmoor, The Oaks and the rest of Macarthur.
Argyle Street keeps buildings from Picton’s Great South Road days, including the George IV Inn, reputedly built in 1839. We upgrade supply, lighting and power inside these older structures while keeping new fittings discreet on historic frontages.
About two metres of water ran through Argyle Street in June 2016. After any inundation we isolate wet circuits, test insulation, replace damaged outlets and safety switches, and confirm the installation is sound before power returns.
Across Picton, 57.1 per cent of dwellings have four or more bedrooms. Bigger homes mean longer circuits and more appliances, so we add dedicated lines for ovens, air conditioners and studies and rebalance crowded boards.
A September 2006 fire front from Lakesland destroyed a house in the Nangarin Estate on Picton’s western side. For homes near the bush we fit interconnected hard-wired smoke alarms and put outdoor lighting on protected circuits.
Our licensed team knows Picton’s blend of older town-centre buildings near the 1863 railway viaduct and newer brick family homes, and tests each circuit to current wiring rules before signing off.
A Colden Street shop and a four-bedroom house in the Nangarin village each get their own written figure after inspection, so the amount you approve is the amount you pay.
When Stonequarry Creek rises or a storm knocks out half the house, Picton callouts move forward on our run sheet and we aim to reach you that same day.
Plenty of our 250+ customers live across Wollondilly, and Picton households often reach us through a neighbour, a builder or a landlord who has already used us.
Labour on every Picton job is guaranteed for life, from a lounge rewired behind original plaster in town to a new sub-circuit feeding a backyard shed.
Ring 02 8999 3691 or book online, mention your street plus anything about gates, dogs or a steep driveway, and choose a slot around school pick-ups or shop hours.
We inspect the board, trace the cable paths and ask about any flood history, then send one fixed figure in writing so you decide with the whole cost visible.
Picton sits 81 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, so we book your visit on a day our vans already work in Wollondilly and arrive inside the window we gave.
Offcuts leave with us, small access holes get patched, each circuit is tested, and you receive the compliance certificate plus a plain note on what changed at your Picton property.

Picton households averaged 2.3 vehicles per dwelling at the 2021 Census, and the town sits 81 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, so long drives are part of daily life. With 90.1 per cent of homes being separate houses, most owners have a garage or driveway where a home charger makes practical sense.
A Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work is issued for every Picton job, as NSW law requires. That matters in a town where some wiring has been soaked by floodwater or patched over decades in older buildings near the railway. When we replace or alter a board, AS/NZS 3000 calls for RCD protection across the final subcircuits, and since 1 May 2023 Type AC units are off the table for any new work.
You get one fixed price in writing before any tools come out. Guessing by phone rarely works in Picton: adding lights in a newer four-bedroom brick home is usually quick, while the same job in an older Argyle Street shop building can mean thick masonry, tired cabling and tight ceiling space. We inspect, explain the options and commit to a figure you can plan around.
Safety switch dropping out after a wet week, a Picton Mall tenancy that needs new lighting, or an EV charger for the garage? Ring 02 8999 3691. A licensed electrician will come to Picton, look at the job in person and give you a written fixed price, with labour guaranteed for life.
Picton home owners, landlords and Argyle Street traders ask us these questions most. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Most days, yes. We work 7am to 5:30pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 2pm on Saturday, with Sundays off. Our Macarthur runs pass through Wollondilly often, so a morning call to 02 8999 3691 usually gets a Picton visit the same day. Tell us about scorch marks, a hot switchboard or power lost to half the house, and we reshuffle the day to reach you sooner.
We price after seeing the work, not from a phone description. A new circuit in a recent brick home near the Nangarin Estate is quicker than the same run through an older shop building off Argyle Street with hard walls and little roof space. Once we have looked, we write down one fixed figure. It only changes if you ask us to add something.
Not until it has been tested. Stonequarry Creek has flooded the town centre before, including the June 2016 storm and the March 2022 evacuation warning. Water and silt leave power points, junction boxes and underfloor cables corroded or damp. Keep the main switch off, then have us check insulation resistance, replace damaged fittings and confirm RCD protection before anything is switched back on. You get written results for your insurer.
Overloaded boards in family homes. More than half of Picton dwellings have four or more bedrooms, and those households now run split systems, induction cooktops, studies and extra fridges on boards designed for lighter loads. The signs are nuisance tripping, warm breakers and too few circuits. We often recommend a larger board with full RCD cover, sized for what the family will add next.
Yes. Picton has several State Heritage Register items, including the railway station group, the viaduct over Stonequarry Creek and the 1897 Victoria Bridge on Prince Street, and older commercial buildings line Argyle Street. We keep new conduit and meter enclosures off visible frontages where we can, route cable through existing voids, and talk through approvals with you if a listed property needs consent from Wollondilly Shire Council.
Start with alarms and outdoor wiring. A September 2006 fire front from Lakesland destroyed a house in the Nangarin Estate, so bushfire risk is real on Picton’s western edge. We fit interconnected hard-wired alarms, check that outdoor circuits and sheds sit behind RCD protection, and replace cracked external fittings. Network lines and poles are not our work, but everything on your side of the meter is.
Yes, and most Picton homes suit one. The 2021 Census shows 2.3 vehicles per dwelling here, and nearly every home is a separate house with a garage or driveway. We check board capacity, run a dedicated protected circuit and mount the charger beside your parking spot. If you already have solar or a battery, we wire the charger to work sensibly alongside that system.
We do. Argyle Street, Menangle Street and the Picton Mall on Margaret Street hold shops, cafes, pubs and offices, and Picton is also the administrative centre of Wollondilly Shire. We install lighting, extra power points, data outlets and exit signs, and trace tripping circuits. Noisy or disruptive work can be booked early in the morning or on a Saturday so trade carries on.
Yes. With 57.1 per cent of Picton homes at four bedrooms or more, many families still add a workshop, studio or secondary dwelling out the back. We work out whether the existing supply can carry the extra load, run a sub-main in conduit to a small sub-board, and wire lights and outlets with RCD protection. If a new network connection is needed, we tell you early, as that belongs to an accredited service provider.
Every electrician on our team is licensed and insured. Spyro founded the business in 2017, and our five-plus electricians have now completed 7,000+ projects. Labour on every job is guaranteed for life, so if a connection we made in your Picton home ever fails, we return and put it right. Each job also comes with its compliance certificate.
All of Picton 2571, including Argyle, Menangle, Margaret, Prince and Colden Streets, the Picton Mall, the streets around the railway station and viaduct, Stonequarry Creek, the Botanic Gardens and the Nangarin Estate. We also work regularly in The Oaks, Thirlmere, Tahmoor, Menangle, Douglas Park, Bargo, Wilton, Appin and across Camden.
