Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess the switchboard for general condition, safe access, signs of overheating/scorching, water entry points, missing blanks, and untidy or overcrowded wiring that may indicate unsafe modifications.
We check whether safety switches appear to be installed and whether circuits are clearly labelled, helping you identify obvious gaps such as missing RCD coverage for power and lighting circuits that are commonly expected in modern upgrades.
We inspect accessible cabling in areas like the garage, underfloor entries, roof space access points (where safely visible), and around the switchboard for damaged insulation, unsupported runs, exposed conductors, or improvised joins.
We look for cracked plates, loose fittings, heat discoloration, and other visible deterioration at switches, sockets and light fittings that can signal overheating, moisture impact, or physical damage requiring electrician attention.
We visually confirm the presence and general placement of smoke alarms and note obvious issues such as missing units, damaged casings, paint contamination, or placement concerns that may affect performance. Functional testing is not part of a visual inspection.
We visually review outdoor lights, power points and cabling for UV damage, unsuitable fittings, missing covers, and water ingress risks—issues that can be more common where external power has been added for entertaining areas or yard structures.

In Mooroolbark we often see mixed electrical eras—older switchboards alongside newer kitchen or extension upgrades. A visual inspection commonly picks up overcrowded switchboards, poor labelling, damaged cabling in garages or roof access areas, cracked power point plates, and outdoor fittings affected by weather exposure. We document visible red flags and recommend electrician follow-up for testing and repairs where needed.
No. This service is a visual-only assessment. We look for the presence and visible condition of items like safety switches, switchboards, accessible wiring, and smoke alarms, and we note obvious concerns such as heat damage or unsafe access. Electrical testing, fault finding, and compliance certification must be completed by a licensed electrician, and we can recommend what to request based on what we observe.
We visually check that smoke alarms are present, appear appropriately located, and are not obviously damaged or compromised (for example painted over or missing). Because this is a visual inspection, we do not carry out electrical testing or certify compliance. If you’re buying, selling, or leasing, we’ll note what we can see and advise you to engage a licensed electrician or specialist for compliance checks and installation if required.
Where accessible, we visually assess outdoor and outbuilding power points, lights, and visible cabling for weather suitability, missing covers, UV deterioration, and signs of water ingress. We also consider how the added circuits appear to integrate at the switchboard (visually) and whether there are obvious signs of DIY-style connections. Any concerns are documented so you can prioritise electrician inspection and testing.
Provide clear access to the switchboard, garage areas, and any places where cabling is visible (for example near manholes or subfloor entry points). If there are outdoor power points or equipment (like spa or pool gear), ensure we can visually access them safely. Share any recent electrical invoices or notes about upgrades, as they help us understand what should be present and what looks inconsistent.
