Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We assess stair condition, tread consistency, loose or undersized handrails, and balustrade stability at balconies, decks and internal stairwells. These are common injury points and are frequently affected by renovations and wear.
We inspect thresholds, uneven paving, lifting pavers, cracked paths, steep transitions and loose edging. In Aspendale Gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and garden makeovers can create hidden trip points that only show up once you walk the site properly.
We look for signs of water leaks, failing shower seals, swollen skirting, damp patches and mould-like growth where accessible. Moisture can lead to slippery floors, damaged flooring, and decay that undermines fixings and surfaces.
We check accessible power points, light fittings, switchboards (where visible), and signs of DIY alterations such as inconsistent fittings, exposed cabling, or unsafe outdoor power setups. We identify risks that warrant immediate electrician follow-up.
We review door operation issues, damaged ceilings, poor lighting, low-clearance hazards, and driveway fall or cracking that may contribute to slips or vehicle/pedestrian conflicts—particularly relevant in townhouse-style developments and family homes.
Where a pool or spa exists, we note obvious barrier concerns such as damaged fencing, self-closing gate issues, climbable objects near barriers, and latch problems. We’ll recommend a dedicated pool barrier inspection where required.

Get Safety Hazards as part of a comprehensive inspection package
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
We often find hazards linked to renovations and outdoor upgrades—uneven pavers, loose steps, missing or unstable handrails, and worn deck boards. Converted garages and updated wet areas can also introduce risks such as poor ventilation, slippery floor finishes, and signs of water ingress. We focus on what’s visible and accessible, then recommend targeted trades where a specialist compliance check is needed.
No. A Safety Hazards inspection is a practical risk-focused assessment of visible and accessible areas, not a formal certification. We identify hazards, explain why they matter, and outline recommended next steps. For items that require certification or formal testing—such as electrical work, gas appliances, smoke alarm compliance, or pool barriers—we will advise you to engage the appropriate licensed specialist.
Yes, we note the presence and visible condition of smoke alarms and whether their placement raises concerns based on what we can see. We don’t perform specialised testing or certify compliance, but we will flag missing alarms, poorly located units, or signs of damage. If you’re preparing a rental or want certainty, we’ll recommend a dedicated smoke alarm compliance service.
They can be. Parts of Aspendale Gardens include flat sites and landscaped yards that can retain water after heavy rain. That increases the risk of slippery paths, algae on shaded paving, and timber deterioration around patios and decks. During the inspection we look for surface water pooling, falls that direct water towards the house, and wet-area indicators that could contribute to slips or structural decay.
Timeframes vary with the size and complexity of the property, including how many outdoor structures and wet areas are present. After the onsite inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report that lists identified hazards, their likely impact, and recommended actions. We prioritise items so you can quickly understand what needs urgent attention versus what can be scheduled as maintenance.
