Defect Notice Rectification
Fast defect notice rectification across Sydney — most jobs completed within 48–72 hours
Defect Notice Rectification
A defect notice is an official document issued by Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy requiring the property owner to fix a fault on their electrical assets within a set timeframe. The timeframe depends on severity — typically 5 to 20 business days for overhead defects — and the notice specifies exactly what work is required to bring the installation back into compliance.
Ignoring a defect notice has serious consequences. The network distributor can disconnect your supply without further notice once the deadline passes. Reconnection fees apply, and if someone is injured by a known defect you failed to rectify, you may face liability. The cost of acting quickly is always less than the cost of disconnection and emergency rectification.
Our role is straightforward: you send us the defect notice, we read it, attend site, carry out the required Class 2A works, and provide the compliance certificate back to the DNSP to close the defect. We understand the urgency — most defect notice jobs are scheduled within 48 to 72 hours of first contact.
