Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We assess internal and external stairs for uneven risers, loose treads, inadequate lighting and unstable handrails/balustrades. These are common injury points, especially on multi-level Chirnside Park blocks where outdoor steps are used daily.
We check the stability of decking, edge protection and balustrade security, including signs of movement, rot risk in exposed timbers and unsafe gaps. Elevated outdoor areas can present serious fall hazards if previous repairs or DIY alterations weren’t done correctly.
We look for visible hazards such as damaged power points, unsafe light fittings, exposed cabling, and weather-exposed electrical components around patios, garages and sheds. We also note signs suggesting the need for a licensed electrician to investigate further.
We inspect bathrooms, laundries and external wet zones for slippery surfaces, inadequate drainage, loose tiles, and shower area issues that can create falls. We also flag hot water and tempering concerns where indicators suggest a scald risk.
We check trip edges, cracked or uneven concrete, poor thresholds and storage-related hazards, plus visibility and access issues that can cause accidents. Steeper driveways and tight parking setups can increase risk if surfaces are worn or poorly drained.
We review paths, paving and garden steps for movement and unevenness, and we look for safety concerns around retaining walls, drop-offs and fencing. These issues matter for families with children, pets, and anyone relying on safe access around the block.

Yes. Chirnside Park blocks can be sloped, and many homes use external stairs, split levels, and decks to connect living spaces to the yard. Weather exposure, leaf litter and DIY repairs can lead to slippery surfaces, loose boards and unstable handrails. A Safety Hazards inspection focuses on fall risks, edge protection and structural warning signs so you can address urgent issues before daily use.
A Safety Hazards inspection is risk-focused. We look closely at areas most likely to cause injury or immediate harm—stairs, balustrades, decks, wet areas, trip edges, access points, and visible electrical hazards. A standard building inspection also considers broader condition and defects. Many buyers choose Safety Hazards checks to prioritise urgent fixes and to make the home safer before moving in.
We identify visible electrical safety red flags such as damaged outlets, unsafe light fittings, exposed wiring and poor outdoor protection, and we note when further assessment is needed. We don’t perform electrical compliance testing, but we clearly recommend engaging a licensed electrician where risks are present. This helps you act quickly and avoid relying on assumptions about previous upgrades.
They can. Homes near bushy areas often deal with more leaf litter, moisture and debris, which increases slip hazards on paths, decks and steps and can contribute to blocked drainage near entry points. Outdoor lighting and power points may also be more exposed to weather. We pay extra attention to external access routes, surface traction, drainage patterns and any outdoor electrical components.
It depends on the severity, but we prioritise issues that can cause immediate injury or fire risk. Unstable handrails, unsafe balustrades, loose stair treads, significant trip edges and visible electrical hazards should be treated as urgent. Lower-risk items like minor surface wear can be scheduled. Our report groups findings by urgency so you can plan repairs and trades efficiently.
