Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually confirm smoke detectors are present in the home and note the areas covered, including near bedrooms, main living spaces and hallways. This matters because a detector in the wrong part of the house can delay warning when smoke starts in a living area or near the garage entry.
We assess whether detector locations make sense for where people sleep, including upstairs/downstairs separation and bedroom wings. Correct placement is crucial at night, when early warning provides time to exit before smoke builds.
For double-storey homes common around Chirnside Park, we record which levels have detectors. Separate levels can act like separate zones, and missing coverage upstairs or downstairs can leave occupants without timely warning.
We note detectors located in or near hallways that serve bedrooms and identify obvious gaps. Hallways can be the main path of travel to exits, so coverage here supports faster alerting and safer evacuation.
We look for signs the home has been altered (added rooms, reconfigured living areas, converted spaces) and check whether detector positions appear to have kept pace with those changes. This matters in Chirnside Park where updated open-plan areas can shift risk and airflow patterns.
Your report lists observed detector locations and highlights placement concerns that warrant follow-up. It’s designed to help you prioritise what to discuss with the vendor, property manager or an electrician, rather than leaving you guessing.

Get Smoke Detectors Assessment as part of a comprehensive inspection package
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In many two-storey Chirnside Park homes, having a detector on only one level can leave part of the house without timely warning. Our assessment visually checks which levels have detectors and whether the locations make sense for the bedroom and living layout. We’ll document what we observe so you can follow up on any gaps with a qualified electrician or installer.
No. Our Smoke Detectors Assessment is a visual inspection to confirm presence and placement. We’re not issuing a compliance certificate and we’re not completing electrical testing or confirming the alarm’s operating condition. The value is in identifying where detectors are located, whether coverage appears sensible for the floor plan, and what should be queried or upgraded after the inspection.
We visually inspect accessible internal areas of the dwelling, noting detectors in key zones such as bedroom hallways, living areas and level transitions (for example, stairs). If there are attached garages, internal access points or altered spaces, we note how detector locations relate to those areas. The report records what’s visible at the time of inspection.
After renovations, we often see detectors left in original positions even though bedrooms, hallways or open-plan living zones have shifted. Garage conversions, added bedrooms or reconfigured corridors can create areas that appear under-covered. Our assessment focuses on spotting these obvious mismatches between the current layout and detector locations, then documenting them so you can plan corrections with the right trades.
Yes. Townhouses and units can have different risk areas, such as internal garages, stairwells and compact corridors leading to bedrooms. We visually confirm detector presence and note placement in relation to sleeping areas and levels. For investors, this provides a clear record of what’s in place at inspection time, helping you organise any upgrades promptly through a qualified provider.
