Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We test polarity to confirm active and neutral connections are correct at accessible power points and relevant circuits. Reversed polarity can leave appliance parts energised even when switched off, increasing shock risk and making faults harder to predict.
We inspect the switchboard for signs of overheating, damaged cabling, moisture entry, missing blanks and labelling issues, and we note the presence and type of protective devices. A compromised or outdated board is a common weak point when loads increase after purchase or renovation.
We identify where RCD protection is provided and carry out functional checks where safe to do so. Proper RCD coverage is critical for areas like bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and outdoor circuits where fault conditions are more likely.
We check the number and location of smoke alarms we can access and note visible power supply type and condition. Correct placement and working alarms are a key life-safety control, especially in homes with bedrooms separated from living areas or split-level layouts.
We look for cracked outlets, loose faceplates, heat discolouration, improvised connections, and exposed or unsupported cabling in accessible areas such as garages, under-house spaces and storage rooms. These are common locations for DIY additions and wear-and-tear damage.
Where accessible, we assess external sockets, weatherproofing, conduit damage and the general condition of electrical points feeding sheds, workshops and garden infrastructure. Outdoor circuits are more exposed to moisture and physical impacts, so small defects can become serious quickly.

Yes. Larger Wonga Park South properties often have extra circuits to sheds, pumps, gates, outdoor lighting and garden irrigation. These additions are sometimes installed at different times, creating mixed-era wiring and protection. A safety assessment checks polarity, switchboard condition and RCD coverage in accessible areas, helping you pinpoint where safety upgrades are needed before you rely on those circuits daily.
Polarity testing checks that active and neutral conductors are correctly connected at selected outlets and points. Incorrect polarity can make some appliances and fittings unsafe because internal components may remain energised. It can also interfere with the way protective devices operate. If a polarity issue is detected, we’ll note the location and recommend a qualified electrician investigate and rectify the circuit.
Yes. We assess the accessible switchboard for visible defects and identify what protective devices are installed, including RCDs (safety switches). Where safe and appropriate, we carry out basic functional checks. We also note common concerns such as poor labelling, signs of heat damage, moisture entry and incomplete coverage. Any electrical work or repairs must be completed by a licensed electrician.
If the shed/workshop electrical points and the supply are accessible at the time of inspection, we include them in the visual risk scan and polarity testing where applicable. Outbuildings often have older sockets, exposed conduit runs or DIY additions, and they’re more exposed to moisture, dust and physical knocks. We’ll document hazards we can see and advise what needs electrician follow-up.
This service is a safety-focused assessment, not a full electrical compliance certification. We identify visible hazards, check polarity at selected points, review switchboard and safety devices, and note smoke alarm observations. Compliance requirements can depend on the property use and current regulations, and formal certification requires a licensed electrician. We can help you understand what to ask an electrician to verify next.
