Licensed Level 2 ASP · 24/7 across Sydney · Fixed-price quotes

If the power pole on your property is rotten, leaning, split or has a defect notice on it, it's your responsibility to fix — and the work is Level 2 ASP work. A private power pole is the privately-owned pole that takes the overhead service onto a property (common on large blocks, long driveways, battle-axe blocks and acreage). Sydney Electrical Service is a licensed Ausgrid Level 2 ASP (licence 236351C). We install, replace and repair private power poles across Sydney — and lodge the Certificate of Compliance on completion. 24/7.

What's Involved

Private power pole work we carry out as a Level 2 ASP:

New private pole installation where a long service run or a new dwelling needs an intermediate or take-off pole.
Pole replacement — replacing a rotten, leaning, termite-damaged or split pole with a new compliant pole.
Repairs — re-securing attachments, replacing the point of attachment and rectifying the service connection on the pole.
Defect notice rectification — fixing a private pole that Ausgrid has issued a defect/repair notice on.
Disconnection & reconnection around the pole works, handled by us.

A private pole is the owner's responsibility — not Ausgrid's — so when it fails or gets a defect notice, you need a Level 2 ASP to make it safe and compliant.

Reasons to Use This Service

Licensed Ausgrid Level 2 ASP (236351C) — authorised for the pole's service connection and network disconnect/reconnect.
We rectify Ausgrid defect notices on private poles and certify the fix.
Install, replace or repair — one team handles the pole and the service connection.
Fixed-price quotes, Certificate of Compliance (CCEW), and 24/7 response for a failed or storm-damaged pole.

Our Process

Inspect the pole. We assess the pole's condition, the service attachment and access, and any defect notice.
Fixed-price quote. Replace, repair or new pole, including network coordination.
Disconnect the supply. As a Level 2 ASP we isolate the service at the network.
Install or repair the pole. New compliant pole, attachments and service termination.
Reconnect & certify. We reconnect, test and lodge the CCEW (and clear the defect notice).

NSW Compliance

Work on a private power pole that carries the network service — and the connection on it — is Level 2 Accredited Service Provider (ASP) work. Sydney Electrical Service is an accredited Ausgrid Level 2 ASP (licence 236351C). Poles, attachments and clearances meet AS/NZS 3000 and Ausgrid's service and installation rules, and we lodge a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) on completion. We also rectify Ausgrid defect notices on private poles.

Pricing Approach

We quote private pole work as a fixed price after inspecting the pole, the service attachment and access. Replacement, repair or a new pole — you'll have a clear scope and price, including the network disconnection and reconnection. Call 0433 462 902 for a fixed-price quote.

Sydney-Specific Considerations

Private poles are common on Sydney's larger and semi-rural blocks — the Hills edge, parts of Sutherland Shire, and acreage on the city's fringe — and on battle-axe blocks with a long driveway service run. Sydney's weather and ageing timber poles mean rot, lean and storm damage are frequent reasons owners get a defect notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is responsible for a private power pole?

The property owner. Unlike the network's poles in the street, a private pole on your land is yours to maintain — so repairs, replacement and defect-notice rectification are your responsibility, carried out by a Level 2 ASP.

I've got a defect notice on my pole — can you fix it?

Yes. We rectify Ausgrid defect notices on private poles, make the pole and connection safe and compliant, and lodge the Certificate of Compliance so the notice can be cleared.

My pole is leaning / rotten — is it urgent?

Treat it as urgent — a failing pole can bring down a live service line. Keep clear and call 0433 462 902; we respond 24/7.

Can a normal electrician replace my power pole?

No. The pole's service connection and the network disconnect/reconnect are Level 2 ASP work. We're an accredited Ausgrid Level 2 ASP.

Do you supply the pole too?

Yes — we supply and install a new compliant pole (timber or as required), transfer the service attachment, reconnect and certify.

Will the power be off during the work?

Only while we isolate the service to work on the pole safely. We reconnect and energise as soon as the pole and connection are done.
