Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually confirm where smoke detectors are installed throughout the home and record their locations so you can see which areas are covered and which areas appear to have no detector fitted.
We pay close attention to hallways and areas outside bedrooms because warning time matters most while people are asleep. We note whether detectors are positioned in a way that supports early alerting for sleeping occupants.
For split-level or two-storey Wheelers Hill homes, we check each level and the connections between levels. We document whether placement addresses smoke movement via stairwells and voids between floors.
Open living zones can change airflow and where smoke accumulates. We observe detector locations relative to open-plan areas and provide comments where placement may not suit the current layout after renovations.
Where the home has an attached garage with internal access, we note detector placement near the internal entry and adjoining hallways, as these are common transition points that can be overlooked when spaces are modified.
You receive a detailed written summary of observed detector presence and placement, including practical notes on areas that appear under-served, so you can act quickly and keep records for your property file.

Get Smoke Detectors Assessment as part of a comprehensive inspection package
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Our Smoke Detectors Assessment is a visual inspection that confirms the presence and observed placement of smoke detectors throughout the Wheelers Hill property. We note where detectors are located (by area/level) and flag areas that appear to have no detector installed or where placement may not suit the current layout. You receive these findings in a clear, written report for follow-up planning.
This service is a visual assessment of presence and placement, not an electrical test or compliance certification. We don’t dismantle alarms or certify performance. If the property needs functional testing, replacement, interconnection work or compliance advice, we recommend engaging a suitably qualified electrician or smoke alarm specialist. Our report helps by identifying where devices are located and where gaps appear.
Book it as early as possible during your due diligence so you can factor any smoke alarm upgrades into your decision and budget. It’s particularly useful if the home has been renovated, extended or reconfigured, because detector placement may not have been updated to match the new floor plan. We provide written findings that you can use to plan next steps quickly.
They can be. Split-level designs often have half-stair connections, intermediate landings and separated living zones, which can lead to detectors being installed on one level but not another. During the assessment, we visually check each level and the stair connections and note whether detector placement appears to address those transitions. The report highlights any levels or zones that look under-covered.
Extensions and garage conversions can add bedrooms, studies or family rooms without updating the original detector layout. We visually check the added areas and the pathways to sleeping zones and exits, then document what’s installed and what appears missing. This gives you a practical action list to discuss with an installer so detectors can be positioned to suit how the home is actually used.
