Who we work for
Electricians for property and holiday let managers
You are managing other people's assets against a legal clock. We work the way agencies work: attend, report, invoice to the agency, keep the compliance dates.

What matters to you
How we work with property managers
- We know the compliance clock
- Smoke alarms tested within 30 days before every tenancy start or renewal, and the RTA is clear that the obligation cannot be passed to the tenant. Safety switches within 90 days of a new tenancy starting. We can run those as a schedule rather than a scramble.
- Tenant access handled properly
- We contact the tenant, we give notice, we turn up in the window. Your property officer does not have to chase us.
- Approval limits respected
- Tell us the owner's approval limit and we will not exceed it. If the job is bigger, you get a call and a quote, not an invoice.
- Invoiced to the agency, itemised by property
- One account, clean itemisation per address, so it reconciles against your trust accounting without a fight.

On site
Attend, report, invoice the agency
The part that makes an agency’s life easier is not the repair, it is what arrives afterwards. Tested, photographed where it matters, invoiced to the agency rather than the tenant, and written so you can forward it to the owner without rewriting it.
Who we already do this for
Agencies and letting managers
Between them these three cover a lot of the Shire's rental and holiday stock. What they want is the same thing every time: a tenant looked after, a compliance record they can file, and an invoice that matches the quote.

Straight answers
Property and Holiday Let Managers: your questions
When must smoke alarms be tested in a rental?
The Residential Tenancies Authority requires the manager or owner to test the alarms and replace flat batteries within 30 days before the start of a tenancy, and it states plainly that this obligation must not be passed on to the tenant. Source: RTA Queensland.
Do rental properties need safety switches?
Yes. The RTA states all power point circuits in rental properties must have a safety switch attached, and owners must install approved safety switches as soon as practical once a tenancy agreement is proposed. Source: RTA Queensland.
Can you schedule compliance work across a whole rent roll?
Yes, and it works out cheaper. We can batch the smoke alarm and safety switch work across your rent roll by suburb rather than attending one property at a time.
