Strata electrical work splits between common property (owners corporation) and inside lots (lot owners). Common areas need working lighting, exit/emergency lights where required, safe switchboards and car park power. Inside a unit, most points and lights are the lot owner’s responsibility unless by-laws say otherwise. We work with strata managers and owners across Sydney — approvals first, tidy workmanship, proper certification.
Common property typically includes foyers, stairs, car parks, shared switchrooms and external lighting. Inside the lot — power points, lights, the unit sub-board — is usually the lot owner’s responsibility. Shared rising mains and meters sit in a grey zone that the strata plan clarifies.
After-hours only for genuine emergencies. Planned works stay in business hours unless strata books otherwise.
Chargers on common property need strata approval and often a load study. Read EV charging in NSW strata before you buy hardware. Call 0421 772 661 · licence 332956C.
Committees usually want a clear scope, public liability confirmation, licence number, access times and certificates when the job is done. We work that way as standard. Exit and emergency lighting often sits on a periodic test schedule — failed fittings should be repaired, not just logged forever.
Unit owners renovating kitchens still need to know where the lot ends. Touching a shared riser, meter enclosure or fire-sealed penetration without approval creates headaches for everyone. Tell us who the strata manager is up front so we can route approvals correctly.
Buildings in Canada Bay, Concord, Bondi, Randwick and similar apartment belts mix older switchrooms with new EV and air-con loads. A tidy common-property board upgrade can be the difference between constant trips and a quiet car park summer.
Lobby lighting failures that leave stairs dark can be genuine emergencies — call us. Planned switchroom upgrades stay in agreed windows so residents keep lift and car park access. We barrier work areas, keep dust down, and leave common property tidy for the next inspection.
Inside lots, smoke alarm duties often sit with the lot owner or landlord; common corridors may be owners corporation gear. Rules vary with the building’s by-laws and construction date. Pair this page with our NSW smoke alarm rules and how-to-test guides when committees review annual checks.
We cover all of Sydney. Natural next reads if you are local:
Usually the owners corporation if it is common property. Check your strata plan and by-laws.
No — licensed electrician. Some buildings also need strata approval if work touches common property or risers.
Yes. We quote clearly, work in approved access windows, and provide certificates for the records.
That is a special strata process — see our EV charging in NSW strata guide.
