Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess the switchboard for signs of ageing, overcrowding, heat damage, corrosion, missing blanks, poor labelling and unsafe access. A tidy, well-labelled board reduces the chance of incorrect isolation during an emergency and helps confirm whether safety switches appear to protect key circuits.
We look for safety switches, note what appears to be protected, and flag missing or unclear RCD coverage based on visible labelling and device types. This matters because areas like bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor circuits typically need robust protection, and unclear labelling can hide gaps.
Where accessible (garage, under-house areas, roof void entry points if available), we check for visibly damaged insulation, unsupported cabling, exposed conductors, DIY joins, or cabling run through sharp edges. These are common visual indicators that a licensed electrician should investigate further.
We visually inspect a representative sample of power points and switches for cracking, looseness, scorching, missing covers and poor fitting. These issues can indicate overheating or unsafe installation and are often found in high-use areas like kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms.
We confirm the visible presence of smoke alarms and check for obvious placement and condition issues (missing units, damaged housings, age-worn appearance, or paint contamination). While we don’t certify performance, visual red flags help you plan replacements or compliance upgrades.
We inspect visible outdoor fittings, conduits and wiring paths for UV damage, water entry points, cracked enclosures, and unsuitable indoor-rated components used outside. Mooroolbark Station Estate homes with patios, carports or garden lighting can be vulnerable to weather-related deterioration.

An Electrical Visual Inspection in Mooroolbark Station Estate focuses on what can be seen without invasive work: switchboard condition, visible wiring safety in accessible areas, power points and switches for heat or damage signs, visible safety switch (RCD) presence and labelling, and smoke alarm presence/condition cues. It’s a visual safety screen, not a full electrical test or compliance certificate.
No. This is a visual-only assessment and does not include circuit testing, load testing, insulation resistance testing, or issuing certificates. If we see red flags—like heat marks, damaged cabling, poor labelling, or missing RCD indicators—we’ll recommend engaging a licensed electrician to test, repair and certify as required. It’s ideal as a risk check before purchase or leasing decisions.
We can identify whether safety switches appear to be installed and note what they seem to cover based on visible devices and labels. However, confirming correct operation and trip times requires proper electrical testing by a licensed electrician. If labels are missing, the board is crowded, or devices look mismatched, we’ll flag it as a priority item so you can arrange formal testing.
They can be. Homes in Mooroolbark Station Estate often have later changes such as updated kitchens, added air conditioning, garage conversions, pergolas or garden lighting. These upgrades can introduce mixed cabling, extra circuits and outdoor fittings that need correct weather protection and RCD coverage. Our visual inspection looks for tell-tale signs like deteriorated conduit, unsuitable fittings outside, or DIY-looking joins.
Treat any visible heat damage, exposed conductors, cracked outlets, or compromised outdoor enclosures as urgent. We’ll document what we observed and explain why it matters, then recommend the next step—typically a licensed electrician attending to test the affected circuits, repair defects and confirm compliance. If you’re buying, you can use the findings to negotiate repairs or budget accurately before settlement.
