Licensed & Trusted Local Electrician
Kensington is one of Sydney’s most dynamic suburbs — home to UNSW, charming Federation houses, and a vibrant mix of students, families, and professionals.
I’m Stephen from Bucks Electrical, a licenced local tradesman with more than 17 years of experience across the Eastern Suburbs. From student apartments near the university to grand heritage homes overlooking Randwick Racecourse, I’ve worked on just about every type of property in this area.
If the power goes out or something needs urgent attention, I’m usually on-site within 10–20 minutes. I understand the quirks of older wiring, high-demand student living, and the modern electrical needs of growing families.

- Heritage regulations demand a careful balance between safety upgrades and architectural preservation.
