Electrical

Our inspector will view and report on the visible condition of electrical fittings such as power points and lights. We will also check if circuits are protected by a RCD.

We are not licensed electricians so our inspector will not test any electrical fittings or check on wiring. We can arrange for a detailed electrical inspection and report by a licensed electrical contractor if you feel it is needed.

Plumbing

Our inspector will view and report on the condition of taps, baths, basins, showers, and the inspector will also look inside cupboards under sinks to see if there any obvious signs of leaks.

We are not licensed plumbers so our inspector will not test any of the plumbing or check hot water services. We can arrange for a detailed plumbing inspection and report by a licensed plumber if you feel it is needed.
