Upfront & Honest Pricing

Apartment owners on Shirley Road, tenants near Brennan Park and households close to Berry Island, Smoothey Park or Gore Cove Reserve all qualify for our limited Wollstonecraft specials. Say you saw this deal when you phone, and we take it off the agreed price.
Wollstonecraft 2065 is apartment country. The 2021 Census recorded 79.3 per cent of dwellings as flats, 13.5 per cent as semis or townhouses and only 7.3 per cent as separate houses, against 65.6 per cent across NSW. Two-bedroom homes are the norm at 47.1 per cent. Inside units we replace cramped switchboards, add circuits for induction cooktops and home offices, and move lighting during kitchen and bathroom refits; for the few houses near the bush reserves we handle full rewires.
Wollstonecraft has almost no shopping strip of its own; the offices and retail sit next door in St Leonards, Crows Nest and North Sydney. Our non-domestic work here is for owners corporations: foyer and garage lighting, exit and emergency fittings, data and intercom cabling and fault finding on shared switchboards.
We offer same-day service right across Wollstonecraft, from the Shirley Road station end down to the Berry Island foreshore. The urgent faults we meet most: a unit board tripping and refusing to reset, a whole floor of corridor lights out, a garage door motor dead on a strata circuit, or water getting into a balcony fitting.
Nearly half of Wollstonecraft homes are rented, 49.1 per cent at the 2021 Census, so landlords, property managers and strata committees generate much of our work here. Owner-occupiers in two-bedroom units call when a renovation needs more power, and residents in the handful of houses near Gore Cove and Badangi reserves ring about older wiring. As a Wollstonecraft electrician we know how these buildings share meter rooms and common circuits.
Planning matters in a suburb this dense. Access usually runs through an intercom, a building manager and a locked switch room, so we sort entry and shutdown times before arriving. Swapping flickering corridor lights, replacing an old unit board, fitting extra power points for a home office, or answering an emergency electrical call when a tenant reports sparking all fit our week here and throughout the North Shore.
Almost half of Wollstonecraft homes have two bedrooms. We replace undersized unit boards, split overloaded circuits and add capacity for induction cooktops, split systems and home offices without disturbing the neighbours for long.
Leases cover 49.1 per cent of local dwellings, so property managers book us at changeover to renew expired smoke alarms, trip-test each RCD and file certificates for the landlord.
Only 7.3 per cent of homes here are freestanding houses, some backing onto bushland such as Gore Cove Reserve. We rewire older homes, add outdoor lighting and check garden circuits for moisture damage.
Buildings near Berry Island and Oyster Cove face damp air and driving rain off the water. We fit sealed balcony lights and weatherproof outlets and track down leaks that trip RCDs.
Our team of licensed tradespeople spends much of their week inside strata buildings like those lining Wollstonecraft’s streets, so shared meter rooms, rising mains and common-property rules are familiar ground.
Your price is set after we inspect and is given in writing. A one-bedroom flat near the station and a house beside Gore Cove Reserve are quoted on their own merits.
A tenant reporting sparks from a power point or a corridor gone dark in a Wollstonecraft block gets an electrician sent over the same day whenever the roster allows.
Over 250 customers have reviewed our work, including Wollstonecraft landlords, owners corporations and apartment residents who heard about us from their building manager.
Workmanship on every circuit we install in a Wollstonecraft unit, townhouse or house is guaranteed for life, so a fault traced to our labour costs you nothing to fix.
Send us the building name, unit number, intercom details and any lift or loading-bay booking rules, and we pick a slot that suits you, your tenant or the manager.
An electrician inspects the unit board and affected wiring, explains what is safe and what is not, and emails a single written figure. That number does not creep up later.
Before setting out we work out where the van can legally stop near your block, then arrive inside the promised window and phone you if anything delays us.
Floors are covered, lift pads used if the building asks, rubbish taken away, and you receive the compliance certificate with a plain list of what was done in your unit.

What began with Spyro in 2017 is now a crew of five-plus licensed electricians working the lower North Shore daily. Wollstonecraft is typical of our strata work: switch rooms that need keys, residents who need notice, and committees who want written reports. We also look after landlords between tenancies and owners renovating kitchens in two-bedroom units. The same person who scopes the job generally returns to finish it.

Flats make up 79.3 per cent of Wollstonecraft dwellings, more than three times the NSW rate of 21.7 per cent, so corridors, stairwells and basement garages are everywhere. Keeping emergency and exit lighting working in those common areas is the job owners corporations ask us about most here.
Every Wollstonecraft job we finish comes with a CCEW, the state’s compliance certificate, lodged in your name. In older unit blocks that often means documenting how a new circuit connects to wiring from decades back. If we change a switchboard, AS/NZS 3000 demands residual current protection on its final subcircuits, and Type AC devices stay off our vans entirely, as fresh installations have excluded them from 1 May 2023.
One fixed figure, written down and agreed, comes before any work. Phone guesses fall apart here: extra power points in a newer apartment with accessible ceiling space are quick, while the same request in an older brick walk-up means chasing concrete or surface conduit and dealing with strata rules. We look at the actual unit, then commit to a price.
A unit board that trips, corridor lights out across your building, or smoke alarms due before the next lease starts? Call 02 8999 3691. Anywhere in Wollstonecraft, one of our licensed team checks the problem on site, commits to a written price and backs the workmanship permanently.
Questions like these come mostly from Wollstonecraft unit owners, tenants, landlords and strata committees. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Often we can. We book jobs between 7am and 5:30pm from Monday to Friday and from 7am until 2pm on Saturday, and Wollstonecraft is a short hop from our regular North Shore work. Ringing 02 8999 3691 early puts you in the strongest position for a visit before we knock off. Arcing, a hot switchboard or a building without lighting is handled before routine tasks.
Pricing waits until an electrician has stood in the unit. In Wollstonecraft the difference between buildings is large: a newer apartment may have easy ceiling access, while an older brick block might need surface conduit and strata approval for the same result. Once we have seen it, the fixed amount goes to you in writing and stays there unless the scope grows at your request.
Most often an old unit board carrying more load than it was built for. Older flats were wired in an era when a unit ran a fridge, a few lights and a heater; today they power induction cooktops, dryers and several split systems. A worn appliance, water in a balcony fitting or a failing RCD can also be the cause. We isolate the faulty circuit, fix it and advise whether the board needs replacing.
Usually it splits at your unit board. Wiring from that board into your rooms normally belongs to the lot owner, while the main switchboard, rising mains, lobby, stair and garage lighting are generally common property. Because 79.3 per cent of Wollstonecraft homes are flats, we get this question often, so we trace the fault first and send a written finding to both you and the strata manager.
Normally the building manager or strata manager holds the keys. When you book, give us their contact and we will arrange entry, confirm whether a lift needs protecting and agree a time if power has to go off to other units. Residents get notice in advance, and we reconnect supply as quickly as possible once the work is safe.
A landlord must keep a working alarm on every level, repair a fault within two business days once the tenant reports it, and replace alarms within ten years of the date they were made. Hard-wired alarms need a licensed electrician. With 49.1 per cent of homes rented, we do a lot of smoke alarm testing and replacement here, usually timed between leases.
In many cases, yes, with approval from the owners corporation. The Census recorded 1.2 vehicles per dwelling, and most parking is in shared basements. We assess spare capacity on the building supply and your own circuit, supply the information strata needs to approve it, then lay a dedicated feed to your bay and fix the charger to the wall.
They can. Properties close to Berry Island, Oyster Cove and Gore Cove sit near water and bushland, so outdoor fittings deal with damp air, storms and falling branches. We install sealed, weatherproof lighting and outlets, check that garden and balcony circuits have RCD protection, and track down the moisture that causes nuisance tripping after rain.
Yes. Older blocks were rarely cabled for working from home. We run data cabling to spare rooms, add power along desks and repair or extend intercom wiring on common property. For building-wide work we quote the owners corporation directly and coordinate with residents on timing.
All our electricians hold NSW licences and carry insurance. Since Spyro opened in 2017 the crew has reached five-plus licensed tradespeople. Labour on every job has a lifetime guarantee, and each Wollstonecraft job ends with a compliance certificate for your records or your strata file.
