Petersham homes
In the 2021 Census, about 47% of Petersham's homes were flats or apartments and 27% were semi-detached, terrace or townhouses, and about half (51%) were rented. The Dictionary of Sydney says Petersham developed after the railway station opened in 1857 and is now a centre of Sydney's Portuguese community.
Rental owners and their property managers need repairs done properly and on record. If you need an electrician in Petersham, Impulse Electrical Enterprise handles repairs, smoke alarms and safety switch testing for rentals. In apartment buildings, we work inside units and with the strata manager on common areas. In older terraces and houses, the work can mean replacing old fuse boards, adding power points and running new circuits.
Inner West Council lists heritage conservation areas in Petersham, including Petersham North and Petersham South (Norwood Estate). If your home is in one, changes to the outside may need council approval. Check your address against Inner West Council's heritage conservation areas.
What we do
From rental repairs to new circuits, here's what we do for Petersham homes and businesses.
Urgent repairs, hardwired smoke alarms and safety switch testing for landlords and agents, with the work authorised before we start.
Work inside your unit, plus common area work in strata buildings, arranged with the strata manager.
