Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually confirm whether smoke detectors are installed in key internal locations we can access, so you can quickly identify if the home appears to be missing alarms altogether in parts of the dwelling.
We note detector placement in relation to bedrooms and hallway approaches, because early warning is most critical when people are asleep and closed doors can delay smoke movement.
Belgrave South homes often have split levels or additions. We visually check each accessible level for detector presence, helping highlight where a level may be overlooked due to stairs, landings or separate wings.
We flag detectors that appear poorly positioned based on visible layout factors, such as being isolated from bedroom corridors or placed where smoke may not reach promptly due to airflow paths.
Where possible from a visual inspection, we record the apparent style and visible condition (e.g., aged units, paint contamination, physical damage) so you can prioritise replacement discussions if needed.
You receive clear, location-based notes that help a licensed electrician quote accurately for adding, relocating or upgrading alarms without guessing what was observed on site.

Get Smoke Detectors Assessment as part of a comprehensive inspection package
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Many Belgrave South properties are built on sloping blocks, which can create multiple storeys, mezzanines or separated bedroom wings. Our Smoke Detectors Assessment visually checks each accessible level and notes where detectors appear absent. If a level is missing coverage or alarms look poorly positioned relative to sleeping areas, we’ll record it so you can arrange the right upgrades with a licensed electrician.
This service is a visual inspection to confirm the presence and observable placement of smoke detectors in accessible areas. We’re not performing electrical testing, calibration or certification. The value is in identifying obvious gaps or poor placement so you can take targeted action. If you need testing, replacement or compliance confirmation, we recommend engaging a licensed electrician after receiving our findings.
Yes, we pay close attention to living areas where smoke sources are more common, including rooms with wood heaters or fireplaces, and we note detector presence and visible placement in those zones. The goal is to highlight where detector locations may not align well with the way smoke could move through the home. Any changes should be discussed with a licensed electrician.
Older homes and long-held properties can have a patchwork of upgrades, especially where renovations added bedrooms or reconfigured hallways. In Belgrave South, we often see extensions, enclosed verandas and converted spaces that can be overlooked for alarm coverage. Our assessment helps you confirm what’s currently installed and where placement appears incomplete, so you can plan improvements before moving in.
Your report will summarise the accessible areas we visually inspected, note where smoke detectors were observed, and highlight any locations where alarms appear missing or poorly placed. We’ll also include practical comments on what to address next and why it matters for early warning. If access is limited in certain areas, we’ll clearly note those limitations so you know what still needs checking.
