Local electrical work in Sutherland
The older houses around Sutherland are mostly 1950s to 70s brick and fibro homes. We regularly find ceramic fuses, old rubber or early-PVC wiring and very few power points per room. Switchboard upgrades and partial rewires are common, as is adding outlets to kitchens and bedrooms.
Apartment buildings near the station and Old Princes Highway bring the usual strata jobs: unit board upgrades, smoke alarms for rentals and faults that turn out to be on common property.
