Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually check the switchboard for heat damage, corrosion, cracked covers, missing blanks, exposed openings, and signs of arcing. These indicators can point to overloaded circuits or deteriorating components that may require urgent electrician attention.
We look for safety switches and note whether they appear to protect the circuits they should. A missing or incomplete RCD setup is a common compliance issue and can materially affect safety, particularly in wet areas and outdoor circuits.
We identify whether the board uses breakers or older fuses and check for visible mismatches, mixed hardware, poor labelling and add-on devices. Older or piecemeal configurations can signal past modifications that should be verified by an electrician.
Where accessible, we assess the visible condition of cabling, conduits and terminations for damage, unsupported runs, poor penetrations and DIY-style joins. Degraded insulation and unsafe joins are both safety and compliance red flags.
We confirm visible smoke alarms, note obvious placement issues and flag missing alarms where apparent. Working smoke alarms are critical, and a visual check helps you identify what may need replacement or upgrading to meet current expectations.
We check accessible exterior lights, power points and visible cabling for weatherproofing, damaged fittings and inadequate protection. Outdoor circuits around decks, patios and garages can deteriorate faster and are often impacted by moisture and UV exposure.

A visual inspection focuses on what can be safely seen at the property, such as switchboard condition, visible cabling, safety switch (RCD) presence, obvious defects at accessible lights and power points, and visible smoke alarms. In Golf Links Estate, we also pay close attention to outdoor circuits around patios, garages and garden areas, where weather exposure can accelerate wear. Any concerns are flagged for electrician testing.
No. An electrical visual inspection is not a full electrical test and doesn’t replace work by a licensed electrician. We don’t dismantle live equipment or perform specialised testing. Instead, we identify visible safety and compliance red flags—like heat damage at the switchboard, missing RCDs, or deteriorated cabling—so you can decide whether to seek further electrical testing, repairs or certification before you proceed.
Common visual indicators include an older-style fuse board, corrosion or staining in the board, cracked covers, missing blanking plates, inconsistent labelling, and evidence of overheating such as discolouration or melted plastic. A crowded board or multiple add-on devices can also suggest the electrical system has been extended over time. We document what we can see and recommend electrician follow-up where warranted.
Outdoor areas can reveal problems like non-weatherproof power points, deteriorated fittings, exposed or poorly supported cables, and makeshift wiring for lighting or garden equipment. If a patio, pergola or garage has been added, the outdoor circuits may not have been updated with appropriate protection. We visually assess accessible outdoor fittings and note risks that should be checked by an electrician, especially around moisture-prone locations.
Many issues can be addressed quickly by a licensed electrician, depending on parts availability and the scope of work. Simple items like replacing damaged fittings or upgrading smoke alarms can be straightforward, while switchboard upgrades or rectifying non-compliant wiring can take more planning. Our report helps you understand the likely complexity so you can negotiate repairs, request credits, or book electrician follow-up within your contract timeframes.
