Est. 1998 — North Shore Sydney

Two brothers,
thirty years
of sparkies.

Mark and Daniel Watt have been wiring homes, businesses and EV chargers across Sydney's North Shore since their dad first handed Mark a pair of pliers in the Chatswood garage. It's still a family shop. Still answering the phone themselves. Still doing the job the way Dad taught them.

Our Story

A Chatswood garage,
and a long road since.

Watt Brothers wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born in a single-car garage off the Pacific Highway, with one ute, one apprentice, and a dad who reckoned his eldest had a knack for the trade. Here's how we got here.

  1. 1998

    Mark hangs out the shingle.

    Mark Watt founds the business out of his garage in Chatswood, with one ute, a borrowed multimeter, and a phone line that rang through to the kitchen.

  2. 2005

    Daniel joins the trade.

    Younger brother Daniel finishes his apprenticeship in Artarmon and joins Mark full-time. The first thing they do is buy a second ute and a proper sign.

  3. 2015

    Commercial work takes off.

    We expand into commercial fit-outs across the North Shore — cafes on Victoria Avenue, dental rooms in Lindfield, a fashion boutique in Roseville.

  4. 2020

    Sydney goes electric.

    We become certified EV charger installers as the North Shore's driveways start filling up with Teslas, Polestars and BYDs. We've put in hundreds since.

  5. 2024

    Six and a half thousand jobs in.

    Twenty-six years, four sparkies on the team, and still family-owned. Mark's son Sam started his apprenticeship in February. That's three generations now.

About Us

Three generations,
one phone number.

We're Mark and Daniel Watt — brothers, sparkies, and the second generation of a family that's been working on the tools in Sydney's North Shore for fifty-plus years. Our old man taught Mark how to strip a cable when he was still in primary school.

That's not a marketing line — it's just how we grew up. Which is why we still answer our own phone, still turn up when we said we would, and still stand behind every job long after the invoice is paid. We know this part of Sydney intimately: Chatswood, Lindfield, Roseville, Killara, Gordon, Pymble, St Ives — we've worked under most of the roofs out here.

If you ring us, you'll get Mark or Daniel. Not a call centre, not a sub-contractor we've never met. That's the deal, and it's worked for twenty-six years.

What the Neighbours Say

Word travels
on the North Shore.

Most of our work comes from a neighbour walking over the fence and asking for our number. These are some of the people who've sent us on.

Daniel came out the same afternoon to look at our switchboard. Old ceramic fuses, original wiring from the seventies. He had it upgraded the following Tuesday, beautifully labelled, and walked my husband through the whole thing. Pricing was upfront from the quote.
Helen R. Chatswood
Mark installed our Tesla wall charger and rewired the garage while he was at it. Three-phase, load-managed, all on a clean new sub-board. The car charges overnight without tripping a single breaker. Honest, on time, brilliant work.
Jeremy P. Lindfield
We had Watt Brothers do the solar and battery on our place last spring. Mark sized the system to our actual bill rather than upselling us. Six months in, the figures match what he predicted almost to the dollar. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
Anita & Theo K. Roseville
Daniel came out for what we thought was one pendant light. By the end of the afternoon he'd quietly fixed three other things that had been bugging us for months. Lovely manners, didn't leave so much as a dust mark. Will use them forever.

Frequently Asked

Questions we
hear most.

Anything we haven't covered? Ring Mark or Daniel direct on (02) 9417 5562 — we'd rather have the conversation in person.

Yes — we keep one of our utes on call for genuine emergencies: total power loss, exposed conductors, burnt-out switchboards. Ring the office number, it diverts to Mark's mobile after hours. Standard call-out applies but there's no fluff on top.
Absolutely. We hold NSW Electrical Contractor licence 198342C, carry $20M public liability and full workers comp, and every job is signed off with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW). That paperwork stays on file forever.
Workmanship on every job is warranted for five years. Hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty (typically one to ten years depending on the product). If something we installed plays up, ring us — we come back and put it right. That's been the deal since 1998.
Yes — free, written, no obligation. For smaller jobs we can usually quote off photos and a phone call. For anything substantial (rewires, solar, fit-outs) one of the brothers will come out, walk the site with you, and have a detailed quote back in your inbox within forty-eight hours.
