Collaroy is mostly units. The 2021 Census counted 53.2 per cent flats against 21.7 per cent across NSW, plus 41.7 per cent separate houses and 4.3 per cent townhouses, with 38.4 per cent of dwellings holding two bedrooms. Development took off after the mid twentieth century, so most unit blocks postdate the 1950s, while some houses stand on lots from the 1922 Collaroy Heights Estate. We replace aged unit boards, fix smoke alarm gaps for landlords and wire kitchens in apartments being modernised.
The Pittwater Road strip holds cafes, restaurants, a pharmacy, hairdressers, a day spa, real estate agencies, Collaroy cinema, the Collaroy Services club and The Collaroy hotel. The Salvation Army conference centre caters for up to 440 people. We maintain lighting, add circuits for kitchens and salons and plan shop fit-outs around trading hours.
Collaroy residents and traders get same-day service for urgent faults. The ones we see most: a unit block’s hallway lights dead after a storm, a cafe losing a cool room circuit on a busy morning, and salt-corroded outdoor fittings tripping safety switches on beachfront blocks.
Our Collaroy work splits between landlords, strata committees and small businesses. With 29.7 per cent of homes rented, agents call us to renew smoke alarms and test RCDs between tenants. Owners of two-bedroom units along the beach streets want tired original boards swapped and kitchens refitted, and families on the flat streets west of Pittwater Road extend houses and need more capacity. As your Collaroy local electrician we also light shopfronts and fix faults in club and cafe kitchens.
The ocean is never far away. After the June 2016 storm tore into beachfront yards, homeowners and Council built new protection works, and sea spray still attacks outdoor wiring every winter. For an urgent electrical fault here our vans run along Pittwater Road from Dee Why and Narrabeen, part of daily coverage across the Northern Beaches.
More than half of Collaroy dwellings are flats, most built after the mid twentieth century. We sort out shared meter panels, replace old unit boards and repair common-property lighting with clear reports for strata.
Almost three in ten Collaroy homes are leased. Agents book us to replace expired hard-wired alarms, confirm one on each level and supply dated paperwork for the landlord between tenancies.
The strip runs from cafes and salons to a cinema, a hotel and the Collaroy Services club. We add circuits for coffee machines and dryers, and maintain exit and emergency lighting.
Beachfront yards on Pittwater Road were damaged in the June 2016 storm. We seal outdoor enclosures, relocate fittings away from spray and check wiring after big swells or coastal works.
Our licensed team has opened countless Collaroy meter rooms, where older walk-ups hide original cable and boards squeezed into stair cupboards with no spare space.
A two-bedroom unit near the rockpool and a family house on a Collaroy Heights Estate block are priced separately, after we see the board and the cable routes.
When a shop on Pittwater Road loses power mid-morning or a unit has a scorched outlet, we rearrange the day’s run so someone reaches Collaroy fast.
Landlords, strata managers and Collaroy cafe owners make up a strong slice of our 250+ customers, and word tends to travel from one unit to the next in these beach blocks.
Labour on every circuit we fit in a Collaroy unit, house or shop is guaranteed for life, including outdoor wiring exposed to salt spray off the beach.
Tell us the block, the unit number and how the meter room is reached. For strata buildings we confirm keys or managers first, and for shops we book around opening hours.
After seeing the job we describe what is needed without jargon and send a written quote with one number, so the landlord or committee can approve it quickly.
Parking near the beach fills early in summer, so we plan the van spot ahead and arrive within the window. Any delay on Pittwater Road gets a phone call.
We clean up in units, meter rooms and shops alike, remove all packaging and leave the certificate plus a note for the strata or agent file.

The business began with Spyro in 2017 and now fields more than five licensed electricians. Collaroy suits our strengths: plenty of strata work that calls for clear reports, rentals where deadlines matter, and small traders who cannot lose a morning. We rewire units, upgrade boards, fit ceiling fans for summer, and look after the shops along Pittwater Road, with one electrician responsible for each job from quote to certificate.

Flats make up 53.2 per cent of Collaroy dwellings, more than double the NSW share, and many blocks near the beach date from the decades after the 1950s. Salt air, ageing common-property wiring and meter rooms that have been patched for years make a proper inspection the most useful first job for a Collaroy owners corporation.
Every Collaroy job comes with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work, the record NSW law expects, and we lodge it on time. In older walk-ups we often find cable that has outlived its insulation, and anything we disturb is fixed or noted. Change or replace a switchboard and AS/NZS 3000 demands residual current protection on all final subcircuits; any fresh Collaroy circuit since 1 May 2023 must use Type A or better, never Type AC.
Quotes here are written, with a single total. Collaroy is a good example of why we will not guess: swapping lights in a rebuilt house on a wide Collaroy Heights block is simple, while the same change in a third-floor walk-up with the board in a shared meter room means strata access and longer cable runs. We inspect, then commit to the price.
Landlord with alarms due, strata committee chasing a lighting fault, or cafe on Pittwater Road needing another circuit? Call 02 8999 3691. A licensed electrician will come to your Collaroy property, show you what needs doing and send one written price you can approve.
These are the questions Collaroy landlords, unit owners, strata committees and shopkeepers ask us most. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
In most cases. Our electricians are out from 7am to 5:30pm on weekdays and 7am to 2pm on Saturdays, and Collaroy sits on our regular Pittwater Road route. A call before about 10am usually means a visit that day. Tell us straight away about burning smells, a hot board or a shop without power, because those jump the queue.
It depends on what we find, which is why we look first. A power point in a modern unit can be quick, whereas the same point in an older walk-up may involve strata access and old cable. After inspecting, we email one written total, and it only changes if you ask for more work.
In older blocks the usual causes are moisture in outdoor or balcony fittings, ageing appliances leaking to earth and too many circuits sharing one RCD on a cramped board. Salt air speeds up corrosion in beach streets. We test each circuit, find the real culprit and, where needed, quote a new unit board with separate safety switches.
It depends on location. Wiring from your unit’s board to your rooms usually belongs to the lot, while the main switchboard, risers, stairwell lights and car park circuits are normally common property. With over half of Collaroy homes being flats, we deal with this often. Once we pin down where the fault lives, the unit owner and the building manager each get the same short written note.
Collaroy landlords must keep at least one working alarm on every level, act on a tenant’s fault report inside two business days and retire any alarm once it reaches ten years from its stamped date. Only a licensed electrician may fit hard-wired units. With 29.7 per cent of Collaroy homes rented, we handle many of these, plus annual alarm testing with dated records for your agent.
Yes. Sea spray corrodes outdoor lights, balcony outlets and meter boxes faster than inland. Beachfront properties on Pittwater Road were also hit by the June 2016 storm, and coastal protection works have followed since. We use sealed, marine-suitable fittings outside and recommend checking exterior circuits regularly on ocean-facing blocks.
Often, with strata approval. The 2021 Census puts Collaroy at 1.8 vehicles per dwelling, and more owners now ask about charging in shared basements. We check the building’s spare capacity, suggest metering so usage is billed to the right lot, and install the charger once the owners corporation agrees. Houses with a garage are usually straightforward.
We do. The strip has cafes, restaurants, salons, a day spa, a pharmacy and the cinema, and each needs power suited to its equipment. We add circuits for espresso machines, ovens and dryers, fit commercial lighting, maintain exit signs, and schedule disruptive work before opening or after close.
Yes. Houses on the old Collaroy Heights Estate lots and nearby streets often have boards and cabling from before modern standards. We test insulation, replace old fuse panels, add circuits for extended kitchens and bathrooms, and can upgrade lighting and power throughout as part of a renovation without tearing the house apart.
