Top 5 Facts About Ultimo

homes icon

Ultimo is home to one of Sydney's original electricity substations — the heritage-listed Ultimo Substation on Mountain Street was built back in 1906 to help electrify the city, its railways and its tram network. Over a century of electrical infrastructure has grown up around it since.

industrial icon

Much of Ultimo was once a heavy industrial precinct, packed with warehouses and factories. A lot of those old buildings have since been converted into apartments, offices and creative spaces, which means original wiring from a very different era is often still hiding behind the walls.

victorian-house-icon

Ultimo sits right next to UTS and close to Sydney Uni, so the suburb has a high mix of student housing, shared rentals and apartment blocks. That brings its own compliance needs around safety switches and smoke alarms that owners and landlords need to stay on top of.

build icon

Converted warehouse apartments often come with tricky electrical layouts like high ceilings, exposed brick, open-plan living — which can make fitting new circuits, lighting or power points more involved than in a standard home.

available icon

Ultimo's power supply history goes back to when Sydney switched from direct current to alternating current in the early 1900s, a reminder of just how much the suburb's electrical backbone has been upgraded and modernised over the decades.

The quality of workmanship was outstanding. The new kitchen feature light was installed with detail and looks fantastic.

Everything was completed neatly, safely, and to a very high standard, with the work area left clean and tidy afterward.

Their pricing was also fair and represented excellent value for the quality of service provided.

I can’t recommend Steve from Bucks Electrical (Eastern Suburbs) highly enough. He installed and wired two ceiling fans for me and the whole experience was outstanding from start to finish. His communication was quick, clear and easy, he arrived when he said he would, and he was extremely friendly, professional and trustworthy.

His pricing was very reasonable, and it’s genuinely hard to find a sparky who is not only skilled but also honest and reliable — Steve absolutely is. I felt completely comfortable having him in my home and the quality of his work was excellent.

I really, really liked dealing with him and would insanely highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a great electrician.

I have no idea how, but Steve was able to route a new circuit through the ceiling cavity from one end of a Sydney terrace to the other without any significant reworks inside (just a small inspection hole). Quality stuff, on time, frank and prompt service, and saved me hundreds in not having to replaster the ceiling. Thanks Steve!
