Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We test for correct active/neutral/earth connections at selected outlets to detect reversed polarity and other wiring faults that can make appliances and metal fixtures unexpectedly live, increasing shock risk.
We check the switchboard’s general condition, labelling and signs of heat stress or deterioration, and confirm what protective devices are present so you know whether your circuits have modern safety protection or outdated components.
We identify where RCDs are installed and perform practical checks to confirm they trip as expected. This matters because RCD coverage is a key control for electric shock, particularly in kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor areas.
We inspect accessible cabling indicators and electrical accessories such as sockets, light switches and external fittings for cracking, scorching, looseness or moisture intrusion that may point to overheating, poor connections or environmental damage.
We confirm smoke alarms are present and note placement issues that commonly reduce effectiveness. While not a full fire safety audit, this check highlights obvious gaps that should be addressed to improve early warning in sleeping areas.
We look for common red flags seen in renovated homes and backyard upgrades—such as mixed old/new fittings, questionable outdoor power points, and signs of DIY alterations—so you can target areas that may need a licensed electrician’s verification.

Coastal conditions can speed up corrosion in outdoor fittings, light fittings and switchboard components, especially where moisture and salt air combine. In Beaumaris, that can translate to poor connections, premature wear and higher fault risk in exterior circuits. An Electrical Safety Assessment helps detect polarity issues, missing protection and visible deterioration so you can address hazards before they become shocks, fires or repeated electrical faults.
Polarity testing checks whether active and neutral are correctly connected at power points. If polarity is reversed or wiring is incorrect, parts of an appliance or fitting can remain energised in ways people don’t expect. That increases shock risk and can also indicate broader wiring quality issues. Our assessment uses polarity testing as a practical, targeted way to uncover dangerous faults without needing invasive access.
Yes. We review the switchboard’s condition and identify what protection is installed, including safety switches (RCDs). We also perform basic operational checks where appropriate, such as testing the trip function. If we find signs of overheating, ageing components, missing RCD coverage or poor labelling, we’ll call it out clearly so you can arrange a licensed electrician to investigate and rectify.
Renovated older homes often have a mix of wiring generations: newer circuits added for kitchens, air conditioning or extensions alongside older cabling in original rooms. That mix can create inconsistent protection, overloaded older sections, or questionable joins hidden behind walls. We focus on polarity results, switchboard protection, and visible red flags around outlets and fittings to help you pinpoint where an electrician should verify compliance and safety.
No. This is a safety-focused assessment that identifies hazards and red flags using polarity testing and practical checks of accessible components. It’s ideal for homebuyers, owners and landlords wanting a clear view of risk areas. Any rectification or compliance certification must be completed by a licensed electrician. If we find issues, we’ll outline what to ask an electrician to check so you avoid guesswork.
