Call to bookWhy strata buildings develop electrical faults
Common property runs hard, and nobody notices the slow wear until something stops working.
-
Lights that never switch off
Common area lights run most of the day, so fittings, drivers and sensors wear out years sooner than in a home.
-
Ageing emergency light batteries
These batteries lose capacity every year and eventually fail the discharge test, often across a whole building at once.
-
Original main switchboards
Older main switch rooms were sized for the building as built, not for air conditioning and induction in every unit.
-
Water in basements
Water from seepage and blocked drains reaches fittings, pump circuits and sometimes the meter room itself.
-
Damage in the car park
Reversing cars and the odd vandal knock fittings and conduit off walls and ceilings.
-
Lot renovations affecting common circuits
Work inside one unit can disturb cabling that serves other lots, and the fault then shows up somewhere else in the building.

Strata electrical work we handle
Most of it is common property work, billed to the owners corporation through the strata manager.
Main switch rooms and meter panels
Repairs and upgrades in the switch room, with thermal checks for hot connections. Boards nobody can read anymore get relabelled.
Car park and stairwell lighting
Old fluorescent battens go to LED, and we fix the timers and sensors so lights are on when residents need them.
Emergency and exit lighting
Every six months we discharge test them and replace what fails. The logbook is kept ready for the annual fire safety statement.
Power to gates, intercoms and doors
When the car park gate, door strike or intercom loses power, we trace why and repair the supply that feeds it.
Work inside individual lots
The owner is quoted and billed for faults in a unit's own wiring. The strata manager hears about anything touching common property.
How we work with strata managers
Strata work has more people to keep informed, so we build the process around the strata manager.
-
Take the work order
We note the strata plan number, building contact, access to the switch room and car park, and who can approve the work.
-
Inspect and work out whose it is
Finding the fault also tells us whether it is common property or one lot's, so the right party gets the quote.
-
Fixed quote for the committee
The quote is addressed to the owners corporation and set out so a committee can approve it without calling. Hazards are made safe first.
-
Notice, then the work
Where circuits need to go off, the manager gets notice to post for residents. Then the work happens at the agreed time.
-
Records back to the manager
The manager gets a short written report and the CCEW where required. Logbook entries are updated, and the invoice matches the approved quote.

Photographs of jobs we finished and handed back. Our own work, not stock.

What happens when you call us about strata electrical work
From the first phone call to the final test, this is how it runs.
-
A person answers the phone
Day or night. Tell us what is happening. If it sounds dangerous, we tell you what to switch off while we get moving.
-
We book a time that works
Urgent faults go to the next available electrician. Planned work gets a set day so you are not waiting around.
-
A licensed electrician comes out and looks
We work out what is actually wrong on site rather than guessing over the phone. The visit costs you nothing.
-
You get one fixed price
Written down and explained before anyone starts. Nothing happens until you say yes.
-
The work gets done properly
Done to the Wiring Rules with the right parts. Dust sheets go down wherever we are working.
-
We test it and show you
Every circuit we touch is tested before we leave. Where the law requires a compliance certificate, you get one.
-
You pay the price you agreed
The quote is the invoice. Our labour stays guaranteed for as long as you own the property.

Signs your building needs a strata electrician
These reports reach strata managers from residents, cleaners and fire safety inspections.
-
Car park lights stay off at night
Usually a failed sensor or timer. Dark car parks are a trip and security hazard.
-
An exit sign is out or failed inspection
It is a defect on the fire safety schedule. Fix it before the next annual statement.
-
Residents get a tingle off railings or letterboxes Ring now
Metalwork on common property may be live. Keep people away and ring now.
-
The main switch room smells hot Ring now
Something in the main board is overheating. Keep the room closed and ring now.
-
Stairwell lights blow every few weeks
Repeat failures point to the circuit, the driver or the wrong fitting.
-
The gate or intercom keeps losing power
It is often a tripping circuit or failing power supply, which leaves the building less secure.
-
There's water in the meter room Ring now
Water near main switchgear is serious. Keep people out and ring now.
-
Owners report the same fault in several units
The cause is often in shared supply or the main board.
Ring any hour about the ones marked urgent. For the rest, send us the work order and we will quote.

Strata electrical for residential and commercial schemes
Strata law works the same for both, but who uses the building, and when we can work, differs.
Apartment blocks and townhouse complexes
People live there around the clock, so shutdowns come with notice and lifts stay running where possible.
- Car park lighting
- Emergency light testing
- Main switch room faults
Commercial and mixed-use strata
Common-area work fits around trading hours, coordinated with each lot on shared supply.
- Shared switchboards and risers
- Common-area and exit lighting
- Faults affecting several tenancies

Finding an electrician in Sydney who turns up
Booking an electrician in Sydney usually starts badly. Something has tripped, something smells hot, or a job you thought was small has turned into a bigger one. What you want at that point is a straight answer about what it will take and what it will cost, not a rate per hour and a shrug.
We work across Sydney and the suburbs around it, including Sydenham, Sydney, Sydney Olympic Park. The price is agreed before anything starts, coming out to look costs nothing, and the labour is guaranteed for as long as you own the place.
What makes Sydney different to work in
Sydney has the mix you find across a lot of Sydney: older homes still running the board they were built with, sitting next to places that have been renovated two or three times. Both throw up their own problems, and both are jobs we do every week.
A lot of the calls we get from Sydney start the same way: the board trips, someone resets it, and a week later it trips again. That pattern usually means a fault worth finding properly.
What usually causes it around Sydney
Age is the biggest single factor. Wiring installed decades ago was sized for a very different household, and insulation on older cable gets brittle and cracks, particularly in roof spaces that heat up through summer.
Storms take a toll, especially on anything overhead. A surge through the supply can quietly damage a board or an appliance and the symptoms show up weeks later.
What strata electrician costs in Sydney
There is no honest way to put a single figure on this page, because the price depends on what is behind your wall. Anyone quoting you a firm number over the phone without seeing the job is guessing, and the gap between the guess and the invoice is usually yours to pay.
What we can promise is the shape of it. We come out and look for nothing, we work out what the job actually needs, and we give you one fixed number for the whole thing. If we find something unexpected once we are into it, we stop and talk to you rather than adding it to the bill. The number you agreed is the number on the invoice.
How we work compared to an hourly rate
Plenty of electricians around Sydney charge by the hour. It sounds cheaper and often is not, because you are carrying all the risk. If the job takes longer than expected, that is your problem. If someone is slow, that is also your problem.
We price the job, not the time. That means we carry the risk of it taking longer, which is a good incentive for us to turn up prepared. It also means you can say yes or no with the full number in front of you.
What you can safely do yourself
Almost nothing, and that is not us protecting our own work. In New South Wales it is against the law for an unlicensed person to do fixed electrical wiring, and the insurance consequences of a fire traced back to unlicensed work are severe. Replacing a plug top on an appliance or changing a lamp is fine. Anything behind the wall or inside the board is not.
Before you call, switch off the appliance you suspect and see whether the problem goes away. If the board holds with that one thing unplugged, you have found it, and the visit gets much shorter.
Renting in Sydney, or managing a building?
If you rent, electrical repairs to the property itself are the owner's responsibility, and urgent electrical faults fall under urgent repairs in New South Wales. Talk to your agent first. If it is genuinely dangerous, say so clearly, because that changes how quickly it has to be dealt with.
If you manage a strata block around Sydney, we can work on common property and bill the body corporate directly, and we can keep the same electrician on your building so nobody is relearning the site every visit.
Questions about strata electrical work
The ones we get asked most. If yours is not here, ring and ask.
It depends on what the wiring serves. Wiring for more than one lot or the common areas is generally common property, even where it runs through a unit, and the owners corporation must maintain it. Wiring for one lot only is generally that owner's, though the strata plan and by-laws can change this.
Yes. Quotes and invoices go to the owners corporation for the strata plan, via the strata manager, or to the lot owner for work that is theirs. The invoice matches the approved quote.
For planned work, yes, or the strata manager's approval within the spending authority the committee has given them. For a genuine hazard, we make it safe first, then quote the permanent repair for approval.
At least every six months. AS/NZS 2293.2 requires routine inspection and a discharge test at that interval, with results kept in a logbook. The owners corporation relies on those records for its annual fire safety statement, assessed by an accredited fire safety practitioner.
For wiring that serves only their lot, yes. Work that touches common property, such as new wiring through common walls or ceilings, counts as a minor renovation under NSW strata law and needs owners corporation approval first.
Yes. We tell the strata manager which areas will be affected and for how long, so a notice can go up in the lobby and lifts. Shutdowns are planned for quieter times and kept as short as the work allows.
Ring us, because the phone is answered 24/7. If it is dangerous, we make it safe first, and the strata manager gets a report and a fixed quote for the permanent repair.
Possibly, but first we check whether the building's main supply and switch room can carry the extra load, because that decides what can go in. Chargers on common property need owners corporation approval, usually through a by-law, and we can give the committee the technical detail it needs.
