Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually confirm whether smoke detectors are present across key areas, including near sleeping zones and along hallways, so you can quickly see if any parts of the home are unprotected.
We assess detector placement in relation to bedrooms and bedroom corridors, because being able to hear an alarm at night is the primary goal of an effective household set-up.
We note detectors located close to kitchens and large open living spaces, where nuisance alarms or poor coverage can lead to alarms being disabled or ignored. Correct placement helps reduce false alarms while maintaining early warning.
Where there is an attached garage or internal entry, we record how detector placement relates to the garage-adjacent hallway or entry point, as these areas can be an important early alert path for smoke moving into the home.
For split-level or two-storey homes, we document detector locations across levels and near stairwells, as smoke movement and audibility between floors can be affected by layout.
We record detector locations with clear notes (and photos where relevant) so you can easily identify what’s installed, what’s missing, and where improvements are recommended.

Yes. Renovations can change how smoke travels and whether an alarm can be heard from bedrooms. In Golf Links Estate, open-plan living areas and altered hallway layouts are common reasons alarms end up in less effective positions. Our assessment visually checks presence and placement and documents any obvious gaps, so you can adjust locations or add detectors where needed.
This service is a visual inspection to confirm the presence and placement of smoke detectors. We identify where detectors are installed and note any visible concerns or missing coverage areas. If you need functional testing, battery replacement, interconnection advice, or compliance work, we recommend engaging a qualified electrician or smoke alarm specialist after receiving our report.
We visually check detector locations in relation to sleeping areas, hallways, living spaces, kitchens and main exit paths. We also pay attention to layout features that affect audibility, such as long corridors, closed-off bedroom wings, and changes between levels. The report records locations and highlights areas that may require additional detectors or relocation for better coverage.
It can. Internal access points and garage-adjacent hallways are common in Golf Links Estate and can influence how quickly smoke is noticed inside the home. During the assessment, we note detector presence and placement near these transition areas and along the route to sleeping zones. If coverage looks limited, we document it so you can prioritise improvements.
Yes. The report clearly documents where detectors are located and where coverage appears incomplete based on a visual review. That makes it easier to plan straightforward upgrades before listing, respond to buyer queries, and demonstrate that you’ve taken safety seriously. It also helps you brief trades quickly, because the key areas and locations are already mapped out.
