Federation and interwar homes around Charing Cross

Waverley is the suburb around Charing Cross and Bronte Road, between Bondi Junction and Bronte, with Waverley Cemetery on the clifftop. Just over half of its homes are flats, and semis and terraces make up about a quarter, a bigger share than in Bondi or Bronte.

  • Semis and terraces, about a quarter of Waverley's homes, where original wiring with cloth or rubber insulation may still be in service
  • Solid brick and lath-and-plaster walls, where new power point installation takes planning to avoid damage
  • Flats, just over half the suburb, where each owner looks after the wiring inside their own lot

Electrician Waverley: common questions

Do you cover Waverley?

Ambient Electrical covers Waverley (postcode 2024), in the Waverley Council area, from Peter's base in Bronte, about a kilometre away, including after-hours emergency callouts. Call Peter on 0415 684 120.

Which electrical services suit Waverley homes?

The electrical services that suit Waverley homes best are switchboard upgrades, power points, and lighting installation.

How can I tell if my Waverley terrace still has old wiring?

Old cable with cloth or rubber insulation, often visible in the roof space or at the switchboard, is the clearest sign; it was used in many Sydney homes built between the 1890s and the 1970s. Other warning signs are flickering lights, blown fuses or tripping breakers, and cables or power boards that feel warm. A switchboard with rewireable fuses and no safety switches usually goes with it.

Can power points be added to the solid brick walls of a Waverley home?

Power points can be added to solid brick and plaster walls, but the cable has to be chased into the wall or brought down from the ceiling or up from the floor, which takes more planning than in a timber-framed wall. The new power point needs safety switch protection, and the licensed electrician lodges a CCEW when the work is done.
