Switchboard Safety Inspection

Quote requiredProvider price, scope and timing are confirmed in an estimate

  • 60–90 minutestypical recorded duration
  • EWRBregister checked for regulated work

Eligibility and coverage are checked again before a provider can submit an estimate

Suitable for a non-destructive condition review of one accessible domestic switchboard when you are concerned about age, heat marks, damaged fittings, unreliable protective devices, or unclear circuit labels.

A provider with the required electrical verification reviews the accessible switchboard, records visible condition and labelling, performs basic protective-device checks where safe and applicable, and supplies a written observation report with any separately scoped next steps.

Scope boundaries: This offer is an observation-led inspection of one switchboard under normal site conditions. It does not promise a whole-installation verification, invasive fault hunt, repair, upgrade, or statutory certification.

No fixed provider price or appointment is published here. Eligible providers define the work, milestones, price and timing in an estimate; Serproz adds no customer platform fee, and the customer chooses whether to accept it.

Only a claimed provider who passes the applicable verification and exact-job capability checks can submit an estimate. Nothing is charged when you post; after acceptance, review the provider's recorded job price before funding the agreed milestones.

Quote basis

This page does not publish a fixed provider offer. Each eligible provider estimate must state the proposed scope, milestones, price and timing before the customer chooses one.

Before you request

What to confirm before you request

  • Is this one domestic switchboard, and where is it located?
  • Have you noticed heat, smell, sound, moisture, tripping, damaged covers, or exposed parts?
  • Is the board accessible without moving fixed cabinetry or disturbing suspected asbestos-containing material?
  • Does the property include solar, batteries, a generator, EV charging, or other connected generation?
  • Are you seeking general observations, or has another party requested a named certificate or formal verification?
