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, poor lighting, and missing or insecure handrails. These are frequent injury points, particularly where older layouts meet newer renovations or deck access has been added.
We inspect accessible balustrades and barriers for looseness, noticeable movement, damaged fixings, and openings that create fall hazards. Elevated outdoor areas are high-risk, and problems can be hidden by paint, cladding or decorative screening.
We look for common indicators of electrical risk such as damaged light fittings, exposed cabling, scorch marks at outlets, unsafe DIY connections, and moisture-prone locations. Where risks are identified, we recommend follow-up by a licensed electrician.
We check bathrooms, laundries and kitchens for slip hazards (poor drainage, worn surfaces), plus signs of leaks that can create mould, rot and electrical risk around fittings. Early identification helps you target repairs before damage spreads.
We assess walkways, thresholds and driveways for uneven slabs, lifted edges, loose pavers, and drainage issues that create slip and trip hazards—especially around entry points used daily.
We inspect accessible garage and storage areas for unsafe shelving, low head-clearance points, poorly secured doors, and visible issues around steps and thresholds. These areas often contain overlooked hazards that affect everyday use.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In Eumemmerring, we often see hazards linked to a mix of older homes and later renovations: uneven steps at extensions, loose or low handrails, movement in deck or verandah balustrades, and trip points from shifted paths and pavers. Bathrooms and laundries can also present slip risks and leak-related issues. The inspection focuses on practical injury risks and highlights what needs urgent attention.
Yes. A building inspection looks broadly at the condition of the structure and visible defects, while a Safety Hazards inspection targets injury and immediate-use risks such as falls, electrical red flags, unsafe access, and slippery areas. Many clients choose to add safety hazard checks alongside a building inspection so they understand both the property’s condition and the day-to-day risks for occupants.
We can note the presence and visible condition of smoke alarms and other common safety items where accessible, but formal compliance depends on the property type and current regulatory requirements. If the home is being leased or you need certification, we’ll flag what we can see and recommend the appropriate licensed professional or compliance service for confirmation and any required upgrades.
Renovations can introduce mismatched floor levels, non-standard step heights, and handrails that aren’t securely fixed, especially when older areas connect to newer decks, alfresco zones or converted garages. We pay close attention to transition points, thresholds, stairs and external access routes. These are the spots where shortcuts or ageing fixings can turn into trip and fall hazards.
No. The inspection is non-invasive and based on accessible areas at the time of assessment. We document visible safety risks and the signs that suggest an underlying issue (for example, moisture staining near electrical fittings or movement in balustrades). If the findings indicate a hidden problem, we recommend targeted follow-up by the right trade to investigate safely and rectify properly.
