Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually confirm smoke detectors are installed across the home, noting coverage on each storey and in key zones such as bedroom corridors and main living areas. This matters in Wonga Park South where multi-level layouts can leave one floor without any alarm.
We assess whether detectors are positioned to alert occupants in or near bedrooms, including hallway placement and separation by doors. Correct placement is critical because fires that start in living areas may not be heard from bedrooms if alarms are poorly located.
Where the home has internal access from a garage, we review alarm placement around that transition and nearby corridors. This is important for properties with attached or under-house garages where smoke can enter living areas quickly.
We note if an alarm appears installed in a position likely to be affected by dead air spaces, beams, high ceilings, or obstructions. These factors can delay smoke reaching the detector, reducing the warning time available to occupants.
We look for signs of added rooms, converted spaces or extended wings and identify areas where smoke alarms may not have been updated to match the new floorplan. Extensions can create long corridors and separate zones that require additional coverage.
Your report records observed detector locations (where accessible) and highlights missing or questionable placements with practical next steps. It’s designed to support quick rectification before moving in, leasing, or finalising a purchase.

Get Smoke Detectors Assessment as part of a comprehensive inspection package
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
Often, yes. Split-level designs can create separate zones where smoke may not reach a single detector quickly, especially if bedrooms are on a different level to living areas. Our Smoke Detectors Assessment in Wonga Park South checks whether each level and the bedroom corridor areas appear to have appropriate coverage, and we flag where additional detectors should be considered to improve early warning.
No. This service is a visual assessment to confirm the presence and placement of smoke detectors and to highlight any apparent gaps or concerns. We don’t issue an electrical or legislative compliance certificate. If upgrades or certification are required, we recommend engaging a suitably qualified installer or electrician, using our report as a practical checklist for what to address.
This assessment focuses on visual confirmation of presence and placement. Where safe and accessible, we may note obvious issues, but it isn’t a full functional test of every alarm. If you want testing, replacement, or verification of interconnection and power supply, that is best handled by a qualified smoke alarm technician or electrician after you receive our placement findings.
A common issue is that the smoke alarm locations don’t change when the floorplan changes. New bedrooms, extra living areas, or extended corridors can be added without adding detectors in the right spots. We also see alarms left in older sections while newer wings rely on hearing that may not carry through doors and levels. The assessment helps pinpoint these coverage gaps.
Time varies with the size and layout of the home, but most assessments are completed during a guided walkthrough of all internal areas. We’ll need access to each level, bedroom zones, hallways, and any internal garage entry. If you can point out recent renovations or areas with restricted access, it helps us document the layout accurately and provide clearer recommendations in the report.
