Electrical Compliance - Defect Notices, CCEW & Rental Reports

Electrical compliance in NSW is policed by three different bodies and most owners never realise it until something goes wrong - Ausgrid/Endeavour for the service line and metering, NSW Fair Trading for licensed work and CCEWs (Certificates of Compliance Electrical Work), and the insurer or managing agent who reads the report. A failed audit can stop a settlement, void a claim, or sit on the property as a defect notice for years.

Tradetek's licensed electricians work to AS/NZS 3000:2018 (the Wiring Rules) and AS/NZS 3760 for in-service safety testing. Every audit covers the main switchboard (busbar condition, neutral bar, MEN link, RCD/RCBO presence and test, breaker labelling), submains, earthing system, smoke alarms, and a sample of accessible circuits and outlets. We test, photograph and document - not a five-minute walk-through.

Common jobs include defect notice rectification, pre-purchase electrical inspections, rental compliance reports under the Residential Tenancies Regulation, insurance condition reports after a claim, strata common-area audits, and CCEW issuance for renovation work that needs to be signed off. We also handle the paperwork - lodging the CCEW with NSW Fair Trading within the required window.

You receive a written report with date-stamped photos, the relevant clause numbers, a priority-ranked defect list and a fixed-price quote for any remediation. Reports are formatted for lenders, conveyancers, insurers and managing agents - no rewrites needed.
