Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We assess accessible balcony edges, handrails and balustrades for looseness, movement, inadequate height indications, damaged panels and deteriorated fixings. In Batman’s Hill apartments, balcony hazards matter because they’re exposed to wind and weather and are a common point of injury risk and liability.
We identify uneven flooring transitions, loose tiles, lifting carpet edges, poorly secured thresholds and stairs with unsafe treads/handrails. These issues often appear in renovated apartments where new finishes meet older substrates, or where moisture has affected adhesive and underlay.
We check for accessible signs of unsafe electrical conditions such as damaged outlets, loose fittings, heat discolouration, exposed wiring, DIY modifications and unsafe use of power boards. We flag where a licensed electrician should test further, especially in older fit-outs or heavily tenanted properties.
We inspect bathrooms, laundries and kitchens for hazards that can lead to slips, mould exposure or electrical risk—such as leaking fixtures, failed seals, water staining and poor drainage. In apartment living, water issues can also affect neighbouring lots, increasing urgency.
We note blocked or restricted exit paths within the lot, issues with accessible doors/locks that may impede escape, and obvious concerns around storage near potential ignition sources. In buildings with shared corridors and car parks, clear egress is critical and often governed by OC rules.
We assess accessible basement and storage areas for poor lighting, sharp edges, low-clearance hazards, unstable shelving, water ponding and unsafe clutter that can obstruct movement. Batman’s Hill buildings commonly rely on basement access, so these hazards affect daily safety and insurance considerations.

In Batman’s Hill, we commonly see balcony-related risks (loose balustrades, deteriorated fixings), slip hazards in wet areas, and trip hazards from uneven flooring transitions in renovated units. We also flag electrical red flags such as damaged outlets or heat discolouration, plus practical egress concerns like blocked internal pathways. Where areas are shared (corridors, basements), we advise what to raise with the owners corporation.
We provide practical, accessible observations that relate to fire safety, such as obvious impediments to exit paths within the dwelling, unsafe storage near potential ignition sources, and issues with doors/locks that could hinder escape. It’s not a full fire engineering audit, and we don’t certify building-wide systems. If we identify concerns that require specialist assessment, we recommend the right next step.
Our Safety Hazards inspection is visual and non-invasive, so we don’t perform electrical compliance testing or open switchboards. We do look for warning signs—damaged fittings, exposed wiring, overheating marks, DIY alterations and unsafe power usage. If anything looks risky, we’ll clearly recommend assessment and repairs by a licensed electrician before you rely on the installation.
Balconies in Batman’s Hill can be exposed to strong winds and driving rain, which can accelerate corrosion and loosen fixings over time. That can turn a minor wobble into a serious fall risk. We check accessible balustrades and handrails for movement, visible deterioration and damage, and we document what to request from the vendor or owners corporation if access limits confirmation of fixings.
Yes—where access is provided. Basements and storage areas can hide hazards such as low-clearance impacts, poor lighting, ponding water, unstable shelving and obstructed walkways. If the area is common property, we’ll note that in the report so you can raise it with the owners corporation or building manager. If access isn’t available on the day, we’ll tell you what to request.
