Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess the switchboard for outdated fuse styles, signs of overheating, scorching, corrosion, missing blanks, and poor labelling. These visible issues can indicate higher fire risk or a board that’s not set up for modern circuit demands.
We check whether safety switches are present and note what circuits appear to be protected where it’s observable. Missing or limited RCD coverage can increase shock risk, particularly in wet areas like kitchens, laundries and bathrooms.
We look for accessible cable deterioration, unsupported cabling, DIY joins, exposed conductors, and damage around roof access points or underfloor areas where visible. These are common warning signs that warrant electrician testing and rectification.
Where accessible, we visually check a representative sample for cracking, loose mounting, heat discolouration, missing covers, and unsafe positioning. These defects can indicate wear, overheating, or poor-quality alterations.
We confirm smoke alarms are present and note placement and condition where visible. We also flag obvious issues such as missing alarms, damaged units, or poor positioning that could affect early warning in a fire.
We visually inspect accessible external components for weathering, damage, unsecured covers, and signs of water entry. Outdoor exposure can accelerate deterioration and increase the likelihood of faults, especially if maintenance has been deferred.

In Huntingdale we often see a mix of older infrastructure and newer additions. Visually, that can show up as older-style switchboards, incomplete safety switch coverage, heat marks around breakers or fuse carriers, and ageing cables in accessible areas. We also commonly see older power points and light fittings alongside modern high-load appliances. A visual inspection highlights these red flags and recommends electrician follow-up where needed.
This service is a visual-only assessment. We inspect accessible components and report on visible condition, obvious hazards, and likely compliance concerns, but we do not perform invasive checks, electrical testing, or certify the installation. If we identify risks—such as suspected overheating, degraded wiring, or missing safety switches—we will recommend a licensed electrician carry out proper testing and any required repairs or upgrades.
We prioritise safety at all times. If it’s safe and accessible, we can visually examine the switchboard area and note the type and visible condition of components. We do not carry out work that requires electrical isolation, dismantling, or exposing live parts. Where access is restricted, covers are unsafe, or the area is hazardous, we will document the limitation and advise the safest next step, typically an electrician inspection.
Yes. In Huntingdale, older apartments and unit blocks can have shared or older electrical infrastructure, and individual units may have been upgraded at different times. You might see a modern kitchen renovation fed by an older board, limited circuit capacity, or inconsistent safety switch coverage. A visual inspection helps identify what’s within the unit’s accessible areas, and we can flag where strata or an electrician may need to assess common-area or main supply components.
Use the report to prioritise safety-critical items and plan follow-up action. If we note visible switchboard concerns, missing safety switches, damaged wiring, or smoke alarm issues, you can request repairs, negotiate cost adjustments, or schedule an electrician before moving in. For rentals, it also helps you identify obvious safety gaps early so you can organise upgrades and reduce the risk of faults disrupting tenants or breaching safety expectations.
