Strata Electrician — Hills District & Hawkesbury

Strata Electrical Services

Strata electrical work has different requirements to standard residential work — common areas, shared infrastructure, building management obligations, owner’s corporation approvals, and the need to coordinate access across multiple tenants all add complexity that requires a licensed electrician experienced in the strata environment.

Saunders Electrical Group carries out the full range of strata electrical services across Hills District and Hawkesbury strata properties:

Common Area Electrical Maintenance

Lighting maintenance across stairwells, corridors, car parks, lift lobbies, and external common areas. We carry out lamp and fitting replacements, fault finding, circuit testing, and scheduled maintenance across all common area electrical systems.

Emergency Common Area Repairs

Common area lighting failures, switchboard faults, power outages affecting common areas, and other urgent electrical issues in strata buildings require fast response. We attend urgent strata callouts across the Hills District and Hawkesbury and issue a CCEW on all completed work.

Strata Switchboard Maintenance and Upgrades

Common property switchboards, metering panels, and distribution boards require regular assessment and maintenance. We carry out switchboard inspections, fault finding, RCD and circuit breaker testing, and upgrades to common property electrical infrastructure compliant with AS/NZS 3000:2018.

Smoke Alarm Compliance — Strata Properties

NSW smoke alarm regulations apply to strata properties, with specific requirements for common areas and individual lots. We carry out smoke alarm compliance assessments, installations, and upgrades across strata buildings — coordinating with strata managers and body corporates to meet legislative requirements efficiently.

EV Charger Installation — Strata Properties

The demand for EV charger installation in strata car parks and individual garages is growing rapidly across the Hills District. Strata EV charger installation requires owners corporation approval, correct sub-metering, and appropriate load management to ensure the building’s existing infrastructure is not compromised. We provide advice, assessment, and installation services for strata EV charging.

Unit Electrical Work

Individual lot owners within strata properties frequently require electrical work within their own units — power point additions, downlight upgrades, ceiling fan installation, smoke alarm upgrades, and appliance connections. We carry out all unit-level residential electrical work and coordinate with building management where required for access.

Electrical Safety Audits

Strata buildings benefit from periodic electrical safety audits of common property electrical systems. We carry out comprehensive assessments with written reports identifying compliance gaps, maintenance priorities, and recommended upgrades — giving owners corporations the information they need to manage their building’s electrical infrastructure proactively.

Working With Strata Managers and Owners Corporations

We understand that strata electrical work involves more than just the technical side. Strata managers, owners corporations, and building managers have reporting obligations, budget constraints, and approval processes that require an electrician who can communicate clearly and document work correctly.
Clear written quotes before every job. Every strata electrical job is quoted in writing before work begins — no hourly rates, no open-ended work orders. Strata managers receive a written scope of works and fixed price for every job, which simplifies approval processes and removes cost uncertainty.
CCEW documentation on every job. A Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work is issued after every prescribed electrical work job — giving strata managers and owners corporations the compliance documentation they need for building records and insurance purposes.
After-hours and urgent response. Common area electrical failures don’t happen on schedule. We are available for urgent strata electrical callouts across the Hills District and Hawkesbury and can respond to time-sensitive issues affecting building access, security lighting, and safety systems.
Consistent team. We send the same team to strata properties we service regularly — building familiarity with the property’s electrical infrastructure over time. This means faster diagnosis, more accurate quoting, and fewer surprises on complex jobs.
Fully licensed and insured. NSW Electrical Contractor Licence 344815C. Full public liability and workers compensation insurance — essential for any contractor working in a strata building.

Who is responsible for electrical work in a strata property — the owner or the owners corporation?

In a strata property, responsibility depends on where the electrical infrastructure is located. Common property electrical systems — switchboards, common area lighting, fire safety systems, and infrastructure serving multiple lots — are the responsibility of the owners corporation. Electrical work within an individual lot — power points, lights, ceiling fans, and appliances within the unit boundary — is the responsibility of the lot owner. The boundary between lot and common property is defined in the strata plan. When in doubt, contact your strata manager to confirm responsibility before booking electrical work.

Do I need owners corporation approval for electrical work in my strata unit?

For minor electrical work within your lot — replacing power points, ceiling fans, or downlights — you generally do not need owners corporation approval, though some strata by-laws may require notification. For work that affects common property, the building structure, or the common electrical infrastructure — including EV charger installation connected to common property switchboards — owners corporation approval is typically required. Check your strata by-laws or speak to your strata manager before proceeding with any work that may affect common property.

What compliance documentation does Saunders Electrical Group provide for strata work?
