Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We assess stairs and landings for stability, consistent step heights, and secure handrails/balustrades. Falls are one of the most common home injuries, and issues like loose posts, low or flexible rails, and worn nosings can present a real risk—especially in split-level layouts common around Golf Links Estate.
We inspect accessible decks and elevated outdoor areas for obvious structural movement, loose boards, protruding fixings, and missing edge protection. Outdoor entertaining spaces can hide hazards such as springy boards, rotted sections near drainage points, and unsafe transitions to paths or lawns.
We look for conditions that increase slips, including poor falls to floor wastes, water pooling, smooth tiles without grip, and worn sealants that allow moisture to spread. We also assess entry points where rainwater can be tracked in, raising the risk on polished floors and tiled thresholds.
Without performing invasive electrical testing, we identify visible red flags such as damaged switches, unsecured fittings, exposed cabling, unsafe outdoor power points, and signs of DIY modifications. We also note where an electrician should confirm RCD protection and circuit safety to reduce shock and fire risk.
We identify glazing locations that commonly require safety glass, such as doors, sidelights, and low-level panes near trafficable areas. Older glass or incorrectly replaced panes can shatter dangerously, so we flag suspect installations for confirmation and rectification where needed.
We check bathrooms, laundries, and other moisture-prone spaces for poor ventilation, persistent condensation, and water damage that can lead to slippery surfaces and mould. Where we see warning signs, we outline likely moisture sources and practical steps to reduce ongoing safety and health risks.

In Golf Links Estate, we often see fall-related risks first—loose handrails, uneven steps, and deck edges that don’t provide adequate protection. Renovations can also introduce hazards such as poorly installed lighting, outdoor power points exposed to weather, and slippery wet-area flooring. We document each issue with photos, explain the risk, and prioritise what to address urgently versus what can be planned.
A Safety Hazards inspection focuses on visible safety risks rather than full electrical compliance testing. We’ll identify warning signs like damaged outlets, exposed wiring, loose fittings, and unsafe external connections, and we’ll recommend a licensed electrician where further testing is needed. This approach helps you quickly pinpoint high-risk electrical concerns without claiming to replace specialist electrical certification.
Yes. We inspect accessible areas with minimal disruption, including stairs, landings, balconies, and outdoor entertaining spaces. If access is restricted by stored items or locked gates, we’ll note the limitation and explain what could not be confirmed. For occupied homes in Golf Links Estate, we also pay attention to everyday-use hazards such as worn floor surfaces, unstable railings, and poorly lit walkways.
They can be. Split-level homes typically have more steps, short stair runs, and multiple transitions between zones, which increases the chance of missteps—especially if tread heights vary or lighting is inadequate. During the inspection, we assess stair consistency, handrail security, and landing safety, and we flag trip points like raised thresholds or abrupt level changes that are easy to miss at open homes.
Your report groups issues by severity, so you can address urgent hazards first (such as unstable balustrades or electrical red flags). Each item includes a plain-English description, why it matters, and practical next steps—often identifying the right trade to consult. This makes it easier to obtain repair quotes, plan upgrades, or negotiate with the seller before you commit.
