Lewisham occupies a compact residential position between Petersham to the north, Stanmore to the east, Dulwich Hill to the south and Marrickville to the west. The suburb’s streets contain Federation homes built between 1900 and 1915, Californian bungalows from the 1920s and 1930s, and Victorian terraces from the 1880s and 1890s that give the suburb its characteristic inner-west streetscape. These properties are increasingly popular with buyers who value the suburb’s quiet character, heritage stock and position between the more expensive and more prominent suburbs that surround it.

The electrical infrastructure inside many of Lewisham’s older properties carries the same challenges found throughout the inner west’s heritage housing stock. Original or partially upgraded switchboards without safety switches on all circuits, ceramic fuse boxes still in service and wiring that has not been assessed since installation are all common findings. Monaco Electrical has upgraded switchboards in Federation homes and Victorian terraces throughout the suburb, installed EV chargers for homeowners with garages, run structured data cabling for home offices in the suburb’s well-established residential properties, and provided strata electrical services for the smaller apartment buildings and converted terrace complexes that sit alongside the suburb’s freestanding homes.

The local commercial premises and the New Canterbury Road and Stanmore Road strips serve Lewisham’s residential community with cafes, retail and professional services. These businesses require commercial electrical work from a licensed contractor. Monaco Electrical has worked with businesses in and around Lewisham since 1999.

Monaco Electrical is based in Alexandria, ten minutes from Lewisham, and has been delivering licensed electrical work across the inner west since 1999. Every job is completed by licensed electricians with a Certificate of Compliance issued for all notifiable work.
