Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We look for visible signs of unsafe electrical conditions such as damaged power points, loose fittings, exposed wiring, and outdated or poorly labelled switchboard components. These issues can indicate higher shock and fire risk and often need prompt assessment by a licensed electrician.
We assess accessible stairs, steps, landings, and balustrades for instability, inadequate support, or unsafe heights and gaps. Falls are one of the most common household injuries, and issues can be easy to miss during a short walkthrough—especially on split-level or renovated homes.
We identify uneven flooring transitions, loose tiles, lifting carpet edges, cracked concrete, and unprotected changes in level on paths, driveways, and around patios. This is particularly relevant where older paving has shifted or where drainage leaves algae and slick surfaces.
We check for obvious waterproofing failures, water damage, and unsafe conditions around wet areas that can contribute to slips, mould-related health concerns, or electrical risk. We also note ventilation concerns where steam build-up can create damp, slippery surfaces and damage.
We inspect accessible garages and sheds for hazards such as unstable shelving, unsafe steps, poor lighting, sharp edges, and trip points around door tracks and thresholds. These areas are often overlooked but are where many household accidents happen during day-to-day storage and DIY tasks.
If the property has a pool or spa, we note visible safety concerns such as climbable objects near barriers, damaged gates, or obvious defects that may affect safe use. This is not a pool compliance certificate, but it helps you identify where further specialist checks are needed.

In Dingley Village, many established homes have ageing electrical components, older steps and patios, and external paving that can move over time. We also see DIY alterations like removed handrails, uneven floor transitions, and tired wet-area finishes that become slippery. Our inspection focuses on visible, practical hazards that could cause injury or require urgent trades to address.
Yes. A building and pest inspection looks broadly at the property’s condition and pest activity, while a Safety Hazards inspection narrows in on risks that can hurt occupants or create immediate liability. We focus on fall hazards, unsafe stairs or balustrades, electrical red flags in accessible areas, and slip risks in wet zones and outdoor surfaces. Many buyers book both to cover structure and safety.
We inspect the accessible switchboard area and note visible issues such as poor labelling, damage, signs of overheating, and whether safety switches appear present. We don’t perform electrical testing, but we flag anything that suggests increased shock or fire risk and recommend follow-up by a licensed electrician where needed. This helps you identify priority electrical work before you move in.
They can. Updated kitchens, bathrooms, decks, and pergolas sometimes hide rushed workmanship, mismatched levels, or incomplete finishing that creates trip points and fall hazards. We commonly see missing or wobbly handrails, uneven thresholds to alfresco areas, and wet-area defects that lead to slippery surfaces. Our inspection helps you identify where the renovation needs rectification or compliance checks.
You’ll receive a structured report with photos and clear explanations of each identified hazard, plus recommendations for next steps. Items are prioritised so you can tell what needs urgent attention versus what can be monitored. Where specialist action is required, we’ll direct you to the appropriate licensed trade or further compliance assessment. This makes budgeting and negotiation far more straightforward.
