Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess the switchboard for signs of ageing, heat damage, corrosion, missing blanking plates, and untidy or crowded wiring. These issues can indicate overheating risks or prior non-standard work and help you plan upgrades before adding higher-load appliances.
We check whether safety switches appear to be installed, how circuits are labelled, and whether the layout suggests whole-of-home coverage or only partial protection. Clear labelling and appropriate coverage matter when faults occur, and it guides an electrician on what to test and upgrade.
Where safely accessible, we look for older or damaged cabling, unsupported runs, joints that look improvised, and wiring routed near sharp edges or heat sources. These visible issues can increase the chance of insulation breakdown and faults over time.
We check a sample of accessible outlets and switches for cracking, looseness, discolouration, and signs of overheating. These are common visual indicators of worn fittings, loose connections, or overload—items that should be checked promptly by an electrician.
We visually review accessible power and lighting around kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, garages and outdoor areas for obvious moisture exposure, inappropriate fittings, and deteriorated seals or conduits. In Jordanville, older external cabling and weathered fittings can be a common risk point.
We visually note the presence and placement of smoke alarms and any obvious issues such as missing units, disconnected alarms, or poor positioning. While full compliance depends on property type and installation details, visible gaps are flagged so you can arrange the right upgrades.

Yes. Jordanville has a mix of older houses and renovated dwellings, and older electrical components can remain even after cosmetic upgrades. A visual inspection can highlight switchboards that look outdated, signs of heat stress, damaged visible cabling, and questionable alterations. It’s not a substitute for electrical testing, but it’s a practical way to identify obvious risks and organise an electrician before problems surface.
This service is a visual-only assessment, so we don’t carry out electrical testing, fault finding, or dismantle fittings. We visually check for the presence and condition of items like RCDs, circuit labelling, and visible wiring or damage. If we see indicators that testing is needed, we’ll recommend follow-up by a qualified electrician to confirm performance and compliance.
In upgraded units and townhouses, we often see a mix of old and new work: switchboards that don’t appear to match the updated loads, inconsistent circuit labelling, and fittings that show wear from higher usage. Outdoor power and lighting can also be exposed to weathering. A visual inspection flags these presentation issues so you can plan targeted electrician checks and upgrades.
We can visually confirm whether smoke alarms appear to be present and note obvious concerns like missing units, poor positioning, or signs of disconnection. Full compliance depends on factors such as property type, storeys, and installation details that may require closer confirmation. If anything looks unclear or inadequate, we’ll recommend an electrician or smoke alarm specialist verify and upgrade the setup as needed.
We focus on accessible areas where electrical issues commonly present: the switchboard/meter box, a sample of power points and switches, visible cabling where safe access is available (such as roof space entry points), and external/wet area fittings that may show moisture or weather damage. If access is restricted or unsafe, we’ll document limitations and advise what to check next.
