Own a cottage off Garland Road, a townhouse near Talus Street Reserve or a shop on the Willoughby Road strip? Our Naremburn deals also stretch to Slade Street, Central Avenue and the streets around Naremburn Park. Mention this Naremburn deal when booking so we can apply it to your written quote.
Naremburn is a genuine three-way split. The 2021 Census found 37.8 per cent separate houses, 19.5 per cent semis, terraces or townhouses and 42.7 per cent flats. The old Central Township between Central Street, Brook Street, Garland Road and Adolphus Street was carved up after 1879, and plenty of its timber and brick workers’ cottages survive, many now restored far beyond their origins. We do rewiring in period cottages, kitchen and bathroom circuits for rear extensions, and board replacements in townhouse garages built during the last thirty years of infill.
Business here is small scale: the Willoughby Road shops that moved up from Market Street when trams arrived in 1896, a handful of original shopfronts on Central and Slade Streets, and community spaces like the Central Avenue centre. We rewire cafe counters, add commercial circuits for fridges and ovens, and service tenancy boards between leases.
Naremburn households get same-day service from our crew, whether you sit beside the Gore Hill Freeway or down near Flat Rock Creek. Typical urgent calls: an 1890s cottage losing a circuit after heavy rain, a townhouse board that trips whenever the dryer starts, and a burnt-out outlet behind a kitchen bench.
Young families make up a big share of our Naremburn bookings. Couples with children form 49 per cent of families here, so we fit bedroom fans, move power for study desks and add outdoor lighting to backyards that slope toward Flat Rock Creek. Owners renovating a Federation cottage on Merrenburn Avenue or Dalleys Road call us early, before plasterers close the walls, and we lay new cable while the frame is open. As your Naremburn electrician we also handle strata blocks built after the freeway years.
Apartment owners near St Leonards station ask for heat pump circuits and brighter hallway lighting, while landlords want tidy alarm records for tenants. When something goes badly wrong, like a board scorching or water reaching a light fitting, our emergency callout crew heads over promptly. Naremburn is one of many Willoughby suburbs we cover across the North Shore.
Many Naremburn homes date from the 1800s. We swap perished rubber cable for modern wiring, add proper earthing and hide new runs so period ceilings, fireplaces and verandah details stay intact.
Nearly one dwelling in five is a semi, terrace or townhouse, much of it from the last few decades. We upgrade small garage boards and add RCD protection across every circuit.
Couples with kids make up nearly half of local families, so rear extensions are common. We plan kitchen, laundry and bedroom circuits before framing closes and check the supply can carry them.
Flats make up 42.7 per cent of homes, mostly near the Gore Hill Freeway and St Leonards. We trace lighting faults, replace unit boards and report clearly to strata managers.
Our licensed crew understands how 1800s Naremburn cottages were wired, with cable pushed through timber studs and sandstone footings, and we bring that into every job on Market Street or beyond.
Before any tools come out we inspect the cottage, townhouse or unit, then email one written fixed figure. A Slade Street semi and a Talus Street apartment never get lumped into one guess.
When a Naremburn circuit starts smoking or a whole home goes dark, that job jumps ahead of routine bookings, and we send the nearest licensed electrician straight across from the Willoughby Road side.
Over 250 customers rate our work, and a fair number of them are Naremburn parents who heard about us at school pick-up or from a neighbour near Naremburn Park.
Any circuit our crew runs in Naremburn keeps its labour covered for life, including new cable concealed inside a heritage cottage after the plaster and cornices are put back.
Ring or book online and mention your cross street. Many Naremburn roads are narrow and steep, so we plan where the van can stop before choosing a time that suits your household.
Our electrician checks the board, the roof space and the cable paths, then writes down the exact scope and one fixed figure, so the invoice matches what you signed.
We arrive in the window agreed, allowing for traffic on the Warringah and Gore Hill freeways. If a delay appears, you hear from us by phone before the slot passes.
We vacuum the dust, bag the old cable and fittings, test each circuit, and leave your paperwork plus a quick walk-through of what changed in your Naremburn home.

Spyro founded the company back in 2017. These days it employs five-plus licensed electricians who spend a steady share of the week in Naremburn. It suits us. Few suburbs mix century-old cottages, eighties townhouses and modern units within a few blocks, so every visit tests a different skill set. We rewire cottages, fit alarms for landlords, sort renovation power for growing families and keep Willoughby Road shops trading, with the same people seeing each job through.

Naremburn is one of the oldest suburbs on the North Shore, and a fair number of its houses go back to the 1800s, when many started life as modest workers’ cottages. Most have been renovated in stages, so we often find three generations of wiring sharing one small board.
We lodge a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work, or CCEW, after each Naremburn visit, confirming our testing results to NSW Fair Trading. In cottages of this age the certificate carries weight, because a rewire usually exposes earlier handyman work. Any board we swap or modify has residual current protection added to its final subcircuits under AS/NZS 3000, and because Type AC devices were barred from new installations on 1 May 2023, Naremburn homes get Type A.
You get a written fixed figure after we have seen the job. Phone estimates are unreliable in Naremburn, because running a new circuit in a late-model townhouse with open roof access takes far less time than threading cable through the sandstone footings and tight ceiling space of an 1890s cottage off Market Street. Our electrician walks the house, talks through choices, and a single agreed figure follows.
Planning a cottage renovation, chasing a tripping circuit in a townhouse, or tidying up alarms before new tenants move in? Call 02 8999 3691. A licensed electrician will visit your Naremburn property, explain the work in plain words and supply a fixed written price, backed by a lifetime guarantee on labour.
Naremburn cottage owners, young families, townhouse residents and landlords put these questions to us most. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Most days we can. Weekday visits run from 7am through to 5:30pm, Saturday visits from 7am until 2pm, and we stay closed Sundays. Naremburn sits between routes we drive constantly, so calling 02 8999 3691 in the morning often gets a visit that afternoon. Anything dangerous, such as scorch marks at a power point, is dealt with before routine bookings.
We do not quote blind. A light fitting in a recent apartment near St Leonards is quick, while the same change in a century-old cottage can mean lifting floorboards or working in a cramped roof. After our electrician inspects the job, you receive one fixed price in writing, and that price only changes if you decide to add more work.
Not always completely, but it deserves a proper test. Older Naremburn houses have usually been extended several times, so rubber cable, undersized circuits and missing earths can sit behind freshly painted walls. We test insulation resistance and earth continuity, show you which circuits are unsafe, and quote a staged rewire if the budget works better that way.
The National Trust classified Naremburn as an urban conservation area in 1984, and that history shapes how owners renovate. Internal rewiring rarely raises issues, but we keep new meter boxes, conduits and outside lights away from street-facing facades where possible. For anything visible from the street, check planning requirements with Willoughby City Council before work starts.
It depends where the fault sits. Wiring from your own board into your rooms is generally the owner’s responsibility, while main switchboards, hallway lights and garage circuits usually belong to the owners corporation. With 62 per cent of Naremburn dwellings being townhouses or flats, we sort this out often. Once we pin down the fault location, both you and your strata manager receive a short written report.
Usually, if you have off-street parking. Naremburn averages 1.4 cars per dwelling and many cottages have a driveway or rear garage. Our electrician works out how much headroom the board has, lays a separate feed out to the garage or carport, then fixes the wall unit. If the board is old, we will tell you whether an upgrade is needed first.
Yes, and early is best. We like to walk through with your builder before the frame is lined so that renovation wiring for kitchens, laundries and bedrooms goes in without chasing plaster later. We also check whether the existing supply and board can handle the extra load, which is often the weak point in older Naremburn cottages.
NSW law wants a functioning alarm on every level, a two business day turnaround once a tenant flags a faulty unit, and replacement once an alarm reaches ten years old. Mains-powered units need a licensed electrician to fit them. Just over a third of Naremburn homes are rented, so we regularly swap out smoke alarms for landlords and record the date for the agent.
We do. The strip has cafes, takeaway outlets and small retailers in older buildings, and their supply was rarely designed for today’s coffee machines and display fridges. We add dedicated circuits, replace tired tenancy boards, fit exit lighting and schedule noisy work before opening or after closing so trade carries on.
Yes. Every electrician on our team holds a current licence and full insurance, and the business has operated since 2017 under founder Spyro. Labour on all our work carries a lifetime guarantee, so if something we installed fails because of how we did it, we come back and fix it without charge.
We cover all of Naremburn 2065, including Willoughby Road, Market Street, Central Street, Slade Street, Garland Road, Brook Street, Merrenburn Avenue and Dalleys Road, plus homes near Naremburn Park and Talus Street Reserve. Just as often we work in Crows Nest, St Leonards, Cammeray, Artarmon, Willoughby, Northbridge and Wollstonecraft.
