Smoke Detectors Assessment in Burwood East

Yes. Many Burwood East homes have been upgraded in stages, so smoke alarms may reflect an older layout rather than today’s bedrooms and hallways. Our assessment visually checks detector presence and practical placement based on the current floor plan. If detectors are missing, in the wrong spot, or likely to be ineffective due to layout changes, we document this so you can arrange rectification.

This service is a visual assessment focused on confirming presence and placement in accessible areas. We note what’s installed and where gaps appear to exist. If you want functional testing, battery checks, or electrical compliance work, that’s typically handled by a qualified electrician or alarm technician. We can still guide you on what to ask for based on what we observe on site.

Yes. For multi-level properties, we assess detector presence level by level and consider the pathways people use at night—bedroom levels, stairwells and hallways. We document where detectors appear to be missing or poorly located, because an alarm on the wrong floor or too far from sleeping areas can reduce warning time, particularly with closed bedroom doors.

Rear extensions often create new living areas, extra bedrooms, or longer corridors, and detectors can be left in original locations closer to the front of the home. We commonly find missing coverage in the new section or detectors positioned where the alarm may not be heard clearly from the new bedrooms. The assessment maps what’s there now and flags areas that may need additional alarms.

You’ll receive written notes that identify where smoke detectors were sighted and where they appear absent or poorly placed in accessible areas. We keep the language practical and property-specific so you can act on it quickly. If improvements are recommended, we outline what to discuss with a qualified installer, helping you plan upgrades without guesswork.
