Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We assess stair geometry, step consistency, landings and edge visibility, plus any loose nosings or cracked treads. These are common injury points, especially where internal levels change between living zones and garages or alfresco areas.
We check the presence and firmness of handrails and balustrades at stairs, decks and raised edges, looking for movement, poor fixings and unsafe gaps. Weak or missing barriers are a major fall hazard and can trigger compliance concerns.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are reviewed for slip-prone finishes, leaking fixtures, swollen skirting, and moisture-related deterioration around showers and vanities. Water damage can undermine flooring and create ongoing mould and trip hazards.
We inspect driveways, paths, step-downs and courtyard paving for uneven levels, rocking pavers, ponding and erosion at edges. In Cranbourne North, side access paths and backyard entertaining areas are frequent sites of trip hazards after rain.
We look for cracked or uneven slabs, unsafe shelving, inadequate lighting, and pinch/crush risks around garage doors. Garages often become high-traffic zones for families, making small defects more likely to cause injuries.
Without doing electrical certification, we identify visible concerns such as damaged power points, exposed wiring, unsafe DIY additions, and heat/scorch marks where accessible. We also note practical fire-safety risks like obstructed egress pathways and missing/poorly placed smoke alarm locations where visible.

In Cranbourne North we often see trip hazards from uneven paving on side paths, slippery wet-area floors, loose stair components, and poorly drained thresholds to alfresco areas. Garages can also hide issues like cracked slabs, cluttered egress and unsafe storage. We document each risk with photos and explain what should be addressed urgently versus what can be scheduled.
Yes. A building inspection looks broadly at the condition of the structure and visible defects, while a Safety Hazards inspection focuses specifically on injury and compliance risks—falls, slips, access issues and obvious electrical/fire red flags. It’s especially useful if you’re buying a family home, preparing a property for tenants, or planning renovations that change access, stairs or outdoor areas.
We identify visible hazards and risk indicators, such as damaged outlets, exposed wiring, unsafe DIY work and signs of overheating where accessible. We don’t perform electrical testing or compliance certification, and we don’t replace or certify smoke alarms. If we find concerns, we’ll recommend the right licensed electrician or specialist to carry out testing and rectification.
They can be, particularly where backyards have been renovated or landscaping has changed access to the pool area. Common problems include gates that don’t self-close properly, climbable objects placed near fences, and damaged latches. During the inspection we note visible barrier risks and access points, then advise if a dedicated pool barrier compliance assessment is needed for formal certification.
Ensure we can access wet areas, the garage, external paths, stairs, decks and the yard. Unlock side gates, clear items blocking steps and exits, and leave power boards and switchboard areas unobstructed where possible. If the home is tenanted, ask occupants to keep pets secured. Better access means we can identify hazards accurately and reduce the chance of missed items.
