Service Areas · Dee Why
Dee Why is the most populous suburb on the Northern Beaches, and most of it lives in apartments: 81.9% of occupied homes were flats or units at the 2021 Census. That shapes almost every job I do here, so this page is built around the questions apartment owners, renters and strata committees actually ask me.

ABS Census 2021, Dee Why
In most NSW strata schemes, windows and external doors are common property, which makes them the owners corporation's job to maintain and repair under section 106 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015. Some buildings have a by-law that hands that responsibility to lot owners. Check your by-laws or ask your strata manager, and I'll quote whoever is paying.
Usually, yes. Changes to common property, or to how the outside of the building looks, generally need owners corporation approval and sometimes a by-law. Like-for-like repairs, such as new rollers or a replacement pane, are a different matter. If you're planning an upgrade, talk to the strata committee first. I can supply product details and a quote for the meeting.
Since 13 March 2018, NSW strata buildings have had to fit safety devices to openable windows where the drop outside is two metres or more and the bottom of the window is less than 1.7 metres above the floor inside. The device has to stop the window opening more than 125 mm and withstand a 250 N push. If yours are missing, broken or painted over, I can fit or replace them.
Almost never. In Dee Why it's normally worn rollers and a track full of beach sand. Replacing the rollers and cleaning the track costs a fraction of a new door.
Yes. With 47.3% of Dee Why homes rented, a lot of my calls come from property managers. Give me the tenant's number and I'll arrange access, do the work and send you the invoice with photos.
Yes. Dee Why's town centre runs from 1960s shop-top buildings of two and three storeys to blocks of ten storeys. The older buildings tend to need roller and lock work; in the newer ones it's more often glass and seals.
