Written Report on Completion
Every emergency intercom repair in Melbourne includes a written fault report — cause, repair performed, and parts replaced. Suitable for body corporate records and insurance claims.
Audio Fault — Emergency Repair
One-way audio prevents safe visitor verification before door release
No Audio or One-Way Sound — Intercom Repair in Melbourne
One-way audio is a critical intercom fault in Melbourne — you can’t safely verify who’s at the door before releasing the lock. SIPKO Security treats audio faults as same-day intercom repair emergencies, not scheduled maintenance.
Failed Door Station Microphone
The outdoor microphone capsule has failed or corroded — visitor can’t hear you. Common in weathered or older outdoor units. We replace the mic or full station same-day.
Blown Indoor Handset Speaker
The handset speaker or amplifier board has failed — you can speak but hear nothing back. We diagnose and replace the handset or audio board on the same visit.
Audio Wiring Break
A broken or corroded wire on the audio pair interrupts one direction of the circuit. We trace the cable run, identify the break, and re-terminate or re-run the audio pair.
Control Board Audio Channel
The main intercom board has a failed audio channel — one direction is dead regardless of cable or speaker condition. Requires board-level diagnosis and replacement.
No Video Display or Black Screen — Intercom Repair in Melbourne
A black screen during an intercom call in Melbourne means you’re operating blind — a critical fault that requires same-day intercom repair. Here’s every cause SIPKO Security diagnoses and fixes across Melbourne.
Camera Module Failure
The camera sensor inside the outdoor door station has failed — the intercom rings and audio works, but no image is transmitted. We replace the camera module or full door station on the same visit for emergency intercom repair in Melbourne.
Monitor or Display Board Failure
The indoor monitor receives the video signal but the display panel has failed — backlight burned out, LCD cracked, or the display driver board is dead. Screen is black even though the system is powered. We replace the display assembly same-day.
Video Signal Cable Break
The coaxial or twisted-pair video cable between the door station and monitor has been cut, corroded, or damaged — the signal never reaches the screen. We trace the cable run, identify the break, and re-terminate or re-run the video pair.
Flickering or Distorted Video Feed
Intermittent flickering, rolling lines, or a distorted image indicates a failing video cable, loose connector, or a camera module beginning to fail. We diagnose the signal path and restore a clean, stable video feed.
IP / Network Video Loss
For IP video intercoms, a failed PoE port, misconfigured VLAN, or dropped network connection stops the video stream entirely. The app shows a black feed or “offline”. We diagnose the network path and restore the video stream configuration.
Water Damage to Door Station
Melbourne weather causes water ingress into outdoor door stations — moisture on the camera lens or PCB causes a black or distorted image. We reseal, dry, and replace damaged components to restore full video for emergency intercom repair in Melbourne.
A black screen means you’re operating blind. Never release the door lock without visual confirmation of who’s outside. Call SIPKO Security on +61 406 432 691 for same-day video restoration across Melbourne.
Intercom Door Not Unlocking — Emergency Fix in Melbourne
Pressing the release button but the door won’t open is a critical intercom fault. Whether it’s a relay failure, electric strike fault, or wiring break, SIPKO Security’s Melbourne intercom repair and upgrade service restores door release function fast — same-day for urgent cases.
The relay that triggers the electric strike has burned out or lost its programming. The intercom works but the door release signal never fires — a common emergency intercom fault in Melbourne properties.
The electric strike on the door frame has failed — not receiving voltage or the solenoid has burned out. The intercom sends the signal but the hardware doesn’t respond. We replace the strike on the same visit.
The mag lock coil has failed or the power supply to the lock is insufficient. The door stays locked even when the release signal is sent. We test lock voltage, current draw, and replace the mag lock if required.
A cut, corroded, or disconnected wire in the door release circuit means the signal never reaches the lock hardware. Common after building works or long-term corrosion in Melbourne’s coastal climate.
The door frame has shifted or the strike plate is misaligned — the electric strike fires but the door physically can’t release. We adjust the strike plate alignment and verify smooth operation.
For IP intercoms, a misconfigured relay output means the app button sends no physical unlock command. We access the intercom’s configuration, remap the relay, and test 10+ unlock cycles before leaving.
What We Test On Arrival
On every intercom door release repair in Melbourne, we diagnose the full circuit — from button press to lock hardware — to pinpoint exactly where the signal is lost.
Residential Intercom Upgrades & Repairs in Melbourne
From single-family homes to apartment blocks and gated properties, SIPKO Security repairs and upgrades residential intercom systems across Melbourne — fast, professional, and with no unnecessary re-cabling.

Apartment & Multi-Tenant Repairs
Lobby panel failures, individual unit handset faults, bus wiring issues, and door release failures in apartment buildings. We work with body corporates and strata managers for urgent whole-building repairs with written reports on completion.
Gated Property Intercom Repairs
Intercom-linked gate systems where the gate won’t open or close, the door station is unresponsive, or the electric strike has failed. We repair the intercom, the release mechanism, and the wiring between them — restoring full gate access control.
Video Intercom Upgrades for Homes
Replace your old audio-only intercom with a modern colour video system — see who’s at the door before releasing the lock. We supply and install video intercoms with app connectivity, door release, and multi-handset capability for Melbourne homes.
Wireless & IP Intercom Repairs
DECT wireless intercoms with pairing failures, IP intercoms that have dropped off the network, and SIP-based systems where the app no longer connects. We restore wireless and IP intercom functionality without tearing up walls or re-cabling.
Legacy System Repairs & Replacements
Old intercoms that are no longer supported by the manufacturer — we repair where possible and replace with compatible modern systems where repair isn’t viable. No unnecessary full re-installs; we work with your existing wiring wherever possible.
From Brighton and Toorak to St Kilda, Hawthorn, and the Mornington Peninsula — SIPKO Security provides residential intercom upgrades and repairs across all Melbourne suburbs. Same-day attendance for urgent faults, scheduled bookings for planned upgrades.
Apartment Intercom Breakdowns Affecting Multiple Residents
When the intercom system serving a Melbourne apartment building fails, every tenant is affected — access is blocked, deliveries can’t get through, and the body corporate faces liability until the intercom is repaired or upgraded.
What We Repair & Upgrade in Melbourne Strata Buildings
From master panel failures to individual unit faults — SIPKO Security diagnoses and repairs every layer of a Melbourne multi-tenant intercom system, and upgrades where repair is no longer viable.
Master Panel & PSU Failure
The lobby master panel or its power supply has failed — taking the entire building’s intercom offline. We replace the PSU or panel and restore all units same-day where parts are available.
Bus Wiring Faults
A fault on the communication bus between the lobby panel and individual units causes all or some handsets to go offline. We trace the bus, test termination resistors, and restore communication.
Individual Unit Handset Failures
Specific apartments not receiving calls or unable to release the door. We test each affected handset, identify the fault, and replace units without disrupting other residents.
Lobby Door Release Failure
The lobby door release relay or electric strike has failed — residents can communicate but can’t let visitors in. We restore door release function and configure a temporary bypass if parts need ordering.
Written Report for Body Corporate
Every strata repair includes a written fault report documenting the cause, repair performed, and parts replaced — suitable for body corporate records, insurance claims, and strata management files.
Intercom Panel Damage Repair & Upgrade — Melbourne
Melbourne’s weather and coastal climate cause progressive intercom door station damage — rain ingress, corrosion, UV degradation, and vandalism. SIPKO Security repairs and replaces damaged outdoor intercom panels across Melbourne as part of our upgrade and repair service.
- Rain and water ingress: Failed weatherproof seals allow water directly into the door station PCB — causing immediate short circuits, camera failure, and total system outage.
- Corrosion and terminal oxidation: Long-term coastal humidity corrodes screw terminals and PCB traces — increasing resistance until signals can no longer pass reliably.
- Physical impact and vandalism: Cracked enclosures, smashed screens, broken call buttons, and damaged camera lenses from deliberate or accidental impact — we assess and replace affected components.
- UV and heat degradation: Prolonged sun exposure degrades plastic enclosures and cable insulation — cracks form, allowing moisture entry during the next rain event.
Component Repair vs Full Replacement
On every intercom repair job in Melbourne, we assess whether damage is limited to a specific component or whether the full door station needs replacing. We always repair where viable — full intercom upgrade only when damage is beyond economic repair.
Weatherproofing & Resealing
After every intercom panel repair in Melbourne, we reseal all enclosures with weatherproof compound and verify IP rating compliance — preventing repeat water ingress in Melbourne’s variable climate.
Insurance Documentation
Vandalism and storm damage to intercom systems may be covered under building or contents insurance. We provide a written damage assessment and repair report suitable for direct submission to your insurer.
Old Analogue Intercom Repair — 2-Wire & 4-Wire Systems in Melbourne
Many Melbourne buildings built in the 1980s, 90s, and 2000s still run on analogue 2-wire or 4-wire intercom systems. Age-related faults are common and finding technicians who understand legacy intercom repair and upgrade in Melbourne is increasingly difficult. SIPKO Security does.
- 2-wire audio systems: Single pair carrying both power and audio — common in older Melbourne apartments. We repair handsets, door stations, and the wiring infrastructure.
- 4-wire video systems: Separate pairs for power, audio, and video — found in older video intercom installations. We repair all components including the video amplifier and distribution boards.
- Discontinued brand support: We repair legacy Aiphone, Comelit, BPT, Urmet, Fermax, and Siedle systems — including models no longer in production — using compatible replacement parts.
- Repair vs upgrade advice: We give honest advice on whether intercom repair is viable or whether a compatible upgrade using your existing Melbourne wiring is the better long-term investment.
- Handset Failure: Aged handsets with failed speakers, crackling audio, or dead call buttons — we source compatible replacement handsets for discontinued models or upgrade to modern equivalents.
- Door Station PCB Failure: The outdoor station’s main circuit board has failed from age or moisture — no call signal, no audio, no camera output. We replace the PCB or full station with a compatible unit.
- EOL Resistor Faults: End-of-line resistors on 2-wire systems degrade over time, causing false triggers, no-ring faults, or complete communication failure. We test and replace all EOL resistors across the system.
- Video Amplifier Degradation: On 4-wire video systems, the video amplifier board degrades over time — producing a dark, flickering, or completely black image. We replace the amplifier board and restore a clean video signal.
- Power Supply Failure: The transformer or PSU feeding the legacy system has failed — often the first component to go on an ageing system. We replace with a compatible unit and verify stable voltage across all connected devices.
- Wiring Degradation: Decades-old cable insulation breaks down — causing intermittent shorts, crosstalk between units, and signal loss. We test insulation resistance and re-run affected cable sections where required.
Commercial Intercom Upgrades & Repairs in Melbourne
A failed intercom in a commercial property disrupts staff access, client entry, and goods delivery simultaneously. We provide fast, professional intercom repairs for offices, warehouses, retail, and multi-tenant commercial buildings across Melbourne.
Office Intercom Repairs
Reception intercoms, multi-floor entry systems, and IP-based visitor management intercoms for Melbourne offices. We repair and restore intercom and access control integration in Melbourne offices so staff and clients can enter without disruption.
- ✔Reception entry panels: Unresponsive call buttons, dead displays, and door release failures at main entry points.
- ✔Multi-floor systems: Individual floor stations not calling through to reception or security desk.
- ✔Access control integration: Intercom no longer triggering the access controller or electric strike on the main entry door.
Warehouse & Industrial Repairs
Heavy-duty entry intercoms at loading docks, roller door stations, and perimeter gates for Melbourne warehouses and industrial properties. We repair systems that handle high-traffic, harsh environments, and vehicle access.
- ✔Loading dock intercoms: Door stations damaged by forklifts, weather, or heavy use — repaired or replaced same-day.
- ✔Gate & roller door release: Intercom-linked gate motors and roller doors that won’t open or close on command.
- ✔Harsh environment damage: Dust, moisture, and vibration damage to outdoor stations — we reseal and replace affected components.
Retail & Hospitality Repairs
Staff entry intercoms, back-of-house access systems, and delivery intercoms for Melbourne retail and hospitality venues. We minimise downtime with fast same-day repairs so your operations aren’t disrupted.
- ✔Staff entry systems: Back-of-house intercoms where staff can’t gain access outside trading hours.
- ✔Delivery intercoms: Supplier and delivery access points that have stopped responding — causing missed deliveries and operational delays.
- ✔After-hours access: Intercoms linked to after-hours entry systems that have failed — leaving staff unable to access the premises.
Multi-Tenant Commercial Buildings
Shared entry intercoms for commercial buildings with multiple tenants — offices, medical suites, and mixed-use developments. We repair lobby systems, individual tenant intercoms, and access control integration without disrupting other tenants.
- ✔Lobby master panel: Whole-building intercom failure affecting all tenants — treated as highest-priority with same-day attendance.
- ✔Individual tenant stations: Specific tenants not receiving calls or unable to release the lobby door for their visitors.
- ✔Building manager coordination: We work directly with building managers and facilities teams to schedule repairs with minimal disruption to tenants.
Digital Intercom System Fault Repair & Upgrade in Melbourne
Modern IP-based intercoms fail in ways that analogue systems don’t — network faults, configuration drift, and firmware issues require a structured diagnostic approach, not a hardware swap.
Device Not Appearing on Network
The door station powers on but doesn’t obtain an IP address — DHCP failure, static IP conflict, or a misconfigured switch port. We connect directly to the device, reset network settings, and restore connectivity without losing the rest of the configuration.
Video Stream Drops or Won’t Load
The call connects but the video feed is black, frozen, or drops after a few seconds. Usually a codec mismatch, insufficient network bandwidth on the intercom VLAN, or a misconfigured video resolution setting. We tune the stream parameters for stable delivery to the app and indoor monitor.
App Notifications Not Arriving
The door station rings but the smartphone app never alerts — push notification failure, incorrect SIP extension, or a cloud relay timeout. We trace the call path from device to app and restore reliable notification delivery.
Intermittent Faults After Power Outage
Digital intercoms often lose configuration after a power cut — SIP registration drops, relay outputs reset to default, or the device boots into a factory state. We restore the full configuration and implement a UPS recommendation to prevent recurrence.
Multi-Site or Cloud-Managed System Faults
Cloud-managed intercoms (2N My2N, Akuvox SmartPlus, Doorbird cloud) can lose device registration or have permission mismatches after account changes. We access the cloud management portal, re-register the device, and restore all user permissions.
Video Door Station Replacement & Repair
The outdoor door station is the most exposed component of any intercom system — weathering, vandalism, and physical wear cause failures that range from a cracked faceplate to a completely dead unit. SIPKO Security repairs and replaces door stations across all major brands, same-day for urgent faults.
Cracked or Shattered Screen Panel
Physical impact has cracked the door station glass or display panel. The unit may still function but is exposed to water ingress. We replace the panel assembly or full station and reseal the housing to restore IP rating.
Night Vision / IR Failure
The camera works in daylight but produces a black or grainy image at night — the IR LED array has failed. We replace the IR module or full camera assembly to restore 24-hour visibility at the entry point.
Corroded Terminal Block
Melbourne’s coastal and humid climate causes terminal block corrosion inside the door station housing — intermittent audio, video, or power faults result. We clean, re-terminate, and apply corrosion inhibitor to restore reliable connections.
Discontinued Model Replacement
The door station model is no longer manufactured and parts aren’t available. We source a compatible replacement that works with your existing indoor monitors and cabling — no full system replacement required in most cases.
Multi-Button Panel Fault
One or more call buttons on a multi-apartment door station have failed — specific apartments can’t receive calls. We repair or replace the button matrix and test every call circuit before leaving.
Urgent door station failures attended same-day across Melbourne metro
Aiphone, Comelit, BPT, 2N, Urmet, Doorbird, Akuvox, Hikvision
We assess your cabling first — most replacements reuse what’s already installed
Written quote before any work — hardware, labour, and cabling all included
Intercom Handset Replacement for Melbourne Apartments
Individual apartment handsets fail independently of the main building system — a dead handset in one unit doesn’t mean the whole system needs replacing. SIPKO Security replaces faulty indoor units across all apartment intercom brands without disrupting other tenants.
Traditional telephone-style handsets — no ring, dead speaker, or broken door release button. Replaced same-day with matching or compatible unit.
Colour video monitors with cracked screens, dead displays, or failed door release buttons. We replace the monitor and verify video feed and release function.
SIP-registered indoor monitors or app-only setups where the device has lost registration or the app no longer receives calls. We reconfigure and test.
Homes or large apartments with multiple indoor stations — one unit has failed while others work. We replace the faulty unit and verify bus communication with the rest.
What Happens on the Day
A typical apartment handset replacement from arrival to completion
Fault Confirmation
We test the existing handset to confirm the fault is in the indoor unit — not the door station, bus wiring, or main panel.
Compatibility Check
We verify the replacement unit is compatible with your building’s intercom bus — 2-wire, 4-wire, or IP — before disconnecting anything.
Handset Swap
Old unit removed, new unit wired and mounted. Address programming completed for multi-apartment systems.
Full Function Test
Live call from door station, two-way audio, video feed (if applicable), and door release tested and confirmed working.
Completion Report
Written report provided — unit replaced, parts used, and warranty details. Suitable for strata records.
Intercom Power Supply Unit Failure Repairs in Melbourne
A failing PSU causes symptoms that look like hardware faults — intermittent resets, no power, or erratic behaviour. SIPKO Security diagnoses and replaces intercom power supplies across all system types.
Transformer Failure
- System completely dead — no power to any component
- Transformer running hot or emitting a burning smell
- Voltage output below rated spec — system resets under load
- Buzzing or humming from the transformer housing
Our fix: We measure transformer output voltage and current under load. Failed transformers are replaced with correctly rated units — we never upsize without checking the system’s full current draw first.
PSU Overload & Shutdown
- System works briefly then shuts down — thermal protection tripping
- PSU output drops when multiple handsets are active simultaneously
- New device added to system caused immediate failure
- Fuse on PSU board blowing repeatedly
Our fix: We calculate total system current draw, identify the overload source, and replace the PSU with a correctly rated unit. We also audit all connected devices to prevent recurrence.
Unstable Voltage Output
- System works sometimes — random resets with no apparent cause
- Audio distortion or video flickering tied to power fluctuation
- Door release fires randomly or fails to fire consistently
- IP intercom reboots spontaneously — logs show power events
Our fix: We measure voltage stability under load with a multimeter and oscilloscope. Failing capacitors or regulators on the PSU board are identified and the unit replaced. We also check mains supply quality at the installation point.
A failing power supply mimics hardware failure — dead handsets, no video, random resets. Many systems are unnecessarily replaced when only the PSU needs attention. We always test the power supply first before recommending any hardware replacement.
Why Intermittent Faults Are the Hardest to Fix
The system works when the technician arrives — then fails again an hour later. Here’s what we measure to catch faults that don’t show up on demand.
Intermittent Intercom Connection Issues — Melbourne Repair Specialists
Systems that work sometimes are harder to diagnose than systems that are completely dead. Intermittent faults have specific causes — and each one requires a different fix. Here’s what we look for.
Loose or Corroded Termination
A wire that’s 90% connected — making contact most of the time but losing it under vibration, temperature change, or load. The most common cause of intermittent intercom faults in Melbourne’s older apartment buildings — and a key reason many systems are misdiagnosed as needing full replacement when a re-termination is all that’s required.
Fix: Full terminal inspection, re-strip and re-terminate all connections in the affected circuit.
Marginal Cable — High Resistance Under Load
Aged or undersized cable that passes a continuity test at rest but drops voltage when current flows. The system works with one handset active but fails when two are in use simultaneously.
Fix: Cable resistance measured under load. Affected runs re-pulled with correctly rated cable.
RF or Electrical Interference
Nearby electrical equipment — lifts, HVAC motors, LED drivers — inducing noise onto the intercom cable. Causes audio distortion, false triggers, or dropped calls at specific times of day.
Fix: Interference source identified, cable rerouted away from noise source, or shielded cable installed.
PSU Voltage Sag Under Load
The power supply delivers correct voltage at idle but sags when the system is active — door release fires, handset rings, and the PSU can’t maintain voltage. System resets or drops out mid-call.
Fix: PSU output measured under full load. Failing unit replaced with correctly rated supply.
Network Packet Loss (IP Systems)
For IP intercoms, intermittent Wi-Fi or a flaky switch port causes dropped calls, frozen video, and missed notifications. The hardware is fine — the network path is unreliable.
Fix: Network path tested with continuous ping and packet loss monitoring. Switch port or Wi-Fi access point replaced as required.
IP & SIP Intercom Systems We Repair
Network-connected intercoms require specialist diagnosis — not just a hardware swap
IP & SIP Intercom Repairs in Melbourne
IP and SIP intercoms connect over your network — and when they fail, the fault is often in the network layer, not the hardware. SIPKO Security diagnoses and repairs IP intercom faults that general electricians can’t resolve.
SIP Registration Failure — App Shows Offline
The intercom can’t register with the SIP server — calls don’t reach the app. We reconfigure SIP credentials, check NAT traversal settings, and restore registration on the same visit.
PoE Switch Port Failure
The PoE port powering the door station has failed — the unit is dead but the hardware is fine. We test PoE output, identify the failed port, and restore power to the door station.
Relay Output Not Triggering Door Release
The app button sends the command but the door doesn’t open. We access the device’s web interface, audit relay configuration, and remap the output to restore door release function.
Firmware Corruption or Failed Update
A failed firmware update has bricked the device or caused erratic behaviour. We perform factory recovery, reflash firmware, and reconfigure the full system from scratch.
VLAN / Network Isolation Issues
The intercom is on a VLAN that’s blocking SIP traffic or video streams. We work with your IT team or configure the switch directly to restore full intercom network connectivity.
Intercom Repair or Upgrade in Melbourne — How We Help You Decide
We always assess whether repair is viable before recommending an upgrade. Here’s how we think about it — and what factors push the decision either way.

We service all major intercom brands — regardless of who originally installed the system. If it’s broken, we can fix it.
Security Benefits of Upgrading Your Intercom in Melbourne
A modern intercom isn’t just a convenience upgrade — it’s a meaningful improvement to how your property controls, logs, and verifies access. Here’s what changes when you move from an old system to a current one.
Visual Verification Before You Open the Door
Older audio-only intercoms — common in Melbourne homes and apartments — let you hear a visitor but not see them. A modern video intercom upgrade gives you a live colour image at the entry point before you release the lock. SIPKO Security installs video intercoms across Melbourne with same-day repair if anything fails.
Remote Access from Anywhere
A modern intercom upgrade in Melbourne pushes calls to your smartphone — see, speak to, and release the door from anywhere. Useful for Melbourne property managers, landlords, and homeowners who aren’t always on-site.
Access Logging & Audit Trail
A modern intercom upgrade in Melbourne logs every call event, door release, and access attempt with a timestamp. For Melbourne strata buildings, commercial properties, and rental properties, this creates an auditable entry record.
Reliable Electric Strike & Gate Integration
Old intercoms often have unreliable relay outputs — the door release works sometimes, not always. Modern systems have configurable relay outputs with adjustable timing, fail-safe modes, and integration with electric strikes, mag locks, and gate motors.
No Cloud Dependency
Wired and SIP-based intercom upgrades in Melbourne operate entirely on your local network — no cloud required. The system works during internet outages and isn’t affected by a vendor shutting down their platform.
Multi-Tenant & Multi-User Control
A modern intercom upgrade in Melbourne supports multiple indoor monitors, multiple app users, and per-unit access permissions. Each Melbourne apartment or office gets its own handset and app access — no shared unlock codes for the whole building.
We assess your existing intercom and cabling before recommending anything. If repair is the right call, we’ll tell you. If an upgrade delivers a meaningful security improvement for a reasonable cost, we’ll show you exactly what changes and why — with a fixed-price quote before any work begins.
Intercom Upgrades & Repairs Melbourne — FAQ
Common questions about intercom upgrades and repairs in Melbourne — what to expect, how SIPKO Security works, and what’s covered on every Melbourne intercom job.
Call us directly — we’ll give you a straight answer about your specific system before you book anything.
+61 406 432 691For complete system failures — no power, no audio, no door release — we aim for same-day attendance for calls received before 10am on business days. We confirm a real arrival window when you call, not a vague “sometime today” estimate. Apartment building failures affecting all tenants are treated as highest priority.
In most cases, yes. We always assess whether a targeted repair is viable before recommending replacement. A failed handset, dead camera, or faulty door station can usually be replaced individually without touching the rest of the system. We only recommend full replacement when repair is genuinely not cost-effective or parts are discontinued.
We carry common replacement parts for Aiphone, Comelit, BPT, Urmet, 2N, and Doorbird systems in our service vans. For less common or discontinued parts, we’ll source them and return for a second visit — and configure a temporary bypass if needed so you’re not locked out while we wait for parts.
Yes. We assess your existing cabling first — many Melbourne homes can reuse their existing 2-wire or 4-wire cable with a modern system, avoiding a full rewire. We’ll tell you honestly whether your cabling is suitable before quoting. If a rewire is needed, we include it in the fixed-price quote.
Yes. We work directly with body corporates, strata managers, and building managers for apartment intercom repairs and upgrades. We provide written fault reports, completion documentation, and can coordinate access with building management to minimise disruption to tenants.
All workmanship is covered by a 12-month warranty. Hardware warranties vary by brand and product — typically 1–3 years depending on the manufacturer. We document all parts replaced and provide warranty details in writing on completion of every job.
