Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We test for reversed polarity and incorrect active/neutral connections that can leave appliance casings energised. Polarity faults can be invisible in day-to-day use but significantly increase shock risk, especially with metal-bodied appliances and power boards.
We inspect the switchboard layout, labelling, signs of overheating, damaged insulation, corrosion and non-standard modifications. We also note whether protection devices appear appropriate for the installation, helping you understand whether the board is keeping up with how the home is used in Golf Links Estate.
We check whether safety switches are installed and which circuits they appear to protect. Homes with later extensions, garage circuits or outdoor power can end up with partial RCD coverage, leaving high-risk areas without rapid disconnection protection.
Where accessible, we look for warning signs such as brittle insulation, stressed cabling, loose terminations, heat discolouration and non-compliant junctions. These issues can cause intermittent faults, nuisance tripping or, in worst cases, arcing and fire.
We assess the visible smoke alarm setup and note concerns such as missing alarms, poor placement, or powered/interconnected arrangements that don’t align with typical compliance expectations. This helps you plan upgrades that improve early warning and reduce life safety risk.
We pay extra attention to areas that commonly cause incidents—kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, patios and garden outlets. These locations are more likely to expose polarity faults, inadequate RCD coverage and weather-affected fittings.

Yes. A point can supply power even when polarity is incorrect. Reversed active/neutral can change how some appliances behave under fault conditions and may increase shock risk, particularly with metal-bodied appliances and older equipment. In Golf Links Estate, where renovations and added circuits are common, polarity testing helps confirm that upgrades haven’t introduced unsafe connections.
We assess the switchboard’s visible condition, layout and safety-related indicators such as heat damage, corrosion, poor labelling, crowded wiring and signs of non-standard modifications. We also note whether safety switches appear present and which circuits they may cover. If we identify red flags, we’ll explain the implications and recommend follow-up action by a qualified electrician.
Yes. We check whether safety switches are installed and whether coverage appears complete or partial. It’s common for some circuits—like garage power, outdoor outlets or later extensions—to be left outside RCD protection after upgrades. We’ll outline which areas look protected, where gaps may exist, and why those gaps matter for shock risk in daily use.
Garages and outdoor entertaining spaces often get extra power added over time—fridge/freezer outlets, garden pumps, workshop tools or patio lighting. Those additions can be connected to older circuits or fitted without full safety switch coverage. We focus on polarity, RCD presence and visible condition at these higher-risk locations, as weather exposure and heavy loads can reveal weaknesses quickly.
This assessment is a safety-focused inspection centred on polarity, protection devices and visible risks. It helps you identify hazards and prioritise rectification, but it isn’t a full electrical compliance certification. If compliance documentation is required, we can provide findings that a qualified electrician can use to complete testing, rectifications and any certification applicable to your situation.
