Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We test accessible socket outlets for correct polarity so active/neutral aren’t reversed. Polarity faults can make appliances appear to work while leaving parts energised, increasing shock risk during use, cleaning or maintenance.
We visually assess the switchboard for heat discolouration, poor cable entry, missing blanks, corrosion, damaged breakers, and signs of outdated protection. These issues can indicate overload risk or unsafe exposure to live parts.
We identify whether safety switches are installed and perform basic trip testing where appropriate. RCD coverage is critical for personal protection, particularly in wet areas such as bathrooms, laundries and outdoor power circuits.
Where wiring is visible, we look for brittle insulation, unsupported cabling, makeshift joins, and damage around roof spaces or underfloor access points. These indicators can point to fire risk or future electrical failures.
We note smoke alarm presence and any obvious placement gaps that can reduce early warning, such as sleeping zones or hallway areas. Early detection matters most at night, when electrical faults and overheating can go unnoticed.
You receive clear notes on safety-related defects and a priority list for an electrician to rectify. This helps you plan upgrades, negotiate repairs, or meet rental safety expectations without guessing what matters most.

Many Endeavour Hills houses have original electrical infrastructure that has been added to over decades—extra outlets, air conditioning, and outdoor circuits. Even if everything “works”, polarity faults, aging switchboards, or missing RCD protection can remain hidden. An assessment checks common risk points like outlets, switchboards and safety switches so you can address hazards before they become a shock or fire incident.
No. Our Electrical Safety Assessment is a targeted safety-focused inspection that identifies hazards and red flags such as polarity issues, switchboard concerns and RCD gaps. Any repairs, upgrades, and formal certification must be completed by a qualified electrician. We provide clear findings and recommendations so you can engage an electrician with a practical scope of works.
The most common problems include incorrect polarity at a power point, inconsistent earthing, overloaded circuits, and poor-quality joins hidden behind fittings. We also see safety switches not upgraded when new circuits are added, especially for outdoor areas. Our assessment focuses on accessible testing and observations that help uncover these risks before you rely on the circuits daily.
They can be. Many Endeavour Hills properties have garages, sheds, or backyard entertaining areas with added lighting and power. Outdoor wiring is more exposed to weathering and physical damage, and older installations may lack modern RCD protection. We check for polarity at accessible outlets and note protection and safety concerns that should be reviewed or upgraded by an electrician.
Treat it as urgent. Stop using the affected outlet or circuit where possible, and arrange a qualified electrician to diagnose and rectify the issue promptly. We’ll document the location and the nature of the concern so the electrician can quote accurately. Once repairs are completed, ask the electrician about any required testing and certification for compliance and safety assurance.
