Burnt Bridge homes often include older layouts, extensions and split-level zones that can leave bedrooms, hallways or stairwells without the right smoke alarm coverage. Our assessment focuses on whether detectors are present where they should be and whether their locations make sense for how the home actually flows.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually confirm whether smoke detectors are present across sleeping areas, hallways leading to bedrooms, living zones and each level of the home, then record what’s installed and where it is located.
We assess whether detector locations align with how the home is laid out today, including extensions, open-plan conversions and reconfigured corridors, so coverage matches the way occupants move through the property.
Where Burnt Bridge homes include split levels or stairs, we note detector placement around stairwells and landings, where smoke movement and escape routes make positioning especially important.
We pay close attention to bedrooms and adjacent hallways, identifying obvious gaps that could delay warning at night when occupants are asleep.
We note detectors located too close to kitchens or cooking areas (where nuisance alarms can lead to disabling), and we flag placements that may need adjusting to balance safety and practicality.
Our report includes notes and photo references (where accessible) to show existing detector positions and to explain any recommended changes, helping owners or buyers brief an electrician or installer accurately.

Often, yes. In Burnt Bridge, it’s common to see extensions, reworked kitchens, or added bedrooms that change how smoke would travel and how people exit the home. Our Smoke Detectors Assessment is a visual check that confirms where alarms are currently installed and whether placement still suits the updated floorplan. If we see obvious gaps, we note them clearly so you can organise appropriate upgrades.
This service is a visual inspection focused on presence and placement. We record what is installed and where, and we identify placement concerns that could affect effective warning. If you want functional testing, battery checks, or replacement of alarms, we can recommend the right next step, but the core service is about verifying that alarms are located where they should be.
We check accessible internal areas across the dwelling, with particular attention to bedroom zones, hallways leading to bedrooms, living areas, and each level of the home. We also look at stairwells and landings in split-level or two-storey properties. Our goal is to confirm visible detector coverage and flag placements that appear unsuitable based on the home’s layout.
Split levels can create separate sleeping zones and different ceiling heights, which can change how quickly smoke reaches a detector. In Burnt Bridge, these designs can mean an alarm on one level won’t provide timely warning for another. During the assessment, we map detectors by level, note stairwell and landing coverage, and highlight where additional or relocated alarms may be needed for more consistent warning.
Yes. The report documents where detectors are currently installed and outlines any obvious placement gaps or issues in plain language. That makes it easier to get quotes and give clear instructions to an electrician or alarm installer. If you’re buying, it also helps you budget for safety updates early, rather than discovering the need after you move in.
