Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually confirm whether smoke detectors are installed in the areas that typically matter most for early warning, including routes to bedrooms and common living zones. Missing detectors are clearly recorded so you can prioritise installation.
We assess whether detector locations make sense for how the Bellfield home is actually used today (including extensions and reconfigured rooms). Poorly located alarms can reduce early detection, especially if bedrooms are separated by doors or long hallways.
We note if detectors are positioned where smoke may not reach quickly due to bulkheads, beams, high ceiling features, or placement too close to corners. We also flag detectors that appear obstructed by fittings or decor.
Converted garages, rumpus rooms, and new bedroom zones can be missed during DIY upgrades. We check whether these spaces appear to be included in detector coverage and identify rooms that may need additional alarms.
While this is a visual inspection, we record visible issues such as damaged housings, paint overspray, loose mounting, or detectors that are difficult to access for routine maintenance. These issues can reduce reliability over time.
You receive a straightforward written report noting detector locations, observed concerns, and practical recommendations for improvements. This supports discussions with a qualified tradesperson and helps landlords or buyers plan compliance and upgrades.

Often, yes. In Bellfield it’s common to see extra rooms added over time, and those new spaces can sit outside the original detector coverage. Our assessment checks the current layout and visually confirms whether detectors appear to cover added bedrooms, converted garages, or new hallways. If gaps are found, we document them clearly so you can arrange additional alarms with a qualified installer.
No. This service is a visual inspection to confirm the presence and placement of smoke detectors. We do not perform electrical testing, certification, or compliance sign-off. The report is designed to highlight what is visible on the day and where improvements are recommended, so you can then engage an appropriately qualified electrician or smoke alarm specialist if upgrades are required.
Your report documents where smoke detectors are located, which areas appear to be missing coverage, and any visible concerns such as damaged units, paint contamination, or alarms placed in positions that may limit smoke flow. We also provide clear, practical recommendations so you can plan next steps. The focus is on making it easy to understand what needs attention and why it matters.
They can be. Older Bellfield homes often started with simpler floorplans and fewer required detector locations, and later updates like new bedrooms, open-plan living, or internal access changes can make the original detector positions less suitable. Our visual assessment reviews whether detector placement still makes sense for the current layout, not just the original design.
