Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We visually assess the switchboard for signs of outdated or unsafe components, missing safety switches (RCDs) indicators, heat damage, and messy or unprotected cabling. This matters because many household accidents and fires start at the board or from circuits that have been modified as rooms were added or repurposed.
We check accessible power points, light fittings and visible wiring for damage, exposure, amateur connections and unsafe placement (including in garages and outdoor areas). In Hampton Park, converted garages and patio areas can introduce extra circuits that aren’t always installed or protected correctly.
We identify uneven flooring transitions, loose tiles, lifted carpet edges, cracked paths, poorly finished steps and slippery surfaces in wet areas. These hazards are common around older concrete paths, entry steps and renovated bathrooms where waterproofing and drainage details can be inconsistent.
We inspect handrails, balustrades, step edges and guarding for looseness, gaps and stability issues. Falls from stairs and elevated areas are serious, and problems can occur where decks, pergolas or raised entries have been added over time.
We confirm smoke alarms are present and positioned in the home, noting obvious issues like missing units, poor locations, or alarms that appear old or damaged. Correct smoke alarm coverage is a key life-safety item and often gets overlooked during cosmetic renovations.
We look for visible signs that bathrooms, laundries and kitchens may pose safety risks, including slipping hazards, damaged fixtures and indications that hot water temperature control may not be set up correctly. This is especially important for families and rental properties where scald prevention is a priority.

In Hampton Park we often see trip hazards from uneven paths, cracked concrete, and mismatched floor heights where extensions meet the original home. We also frequently find safety concerns around garages and outdoor areas, such as damaged power points, exposed cabling, and lighting that’s not well protected. Missing or poorly located smoke alarms and loose handrails on steps or decks are also common.
A Safety Hazards inspection is primarily a visual, risk-focused assessment rather than full electrical compliance testing. We look for clear warning signs at the switchboard and around accessible wiring, outlets and fittings, and we note items that should be checked or repaired by a licensed electrician. If we identify concerning indicators, we’ll recommend the right next steps for further testing.
Yes. Outdoor structures are a key part of a Safety Hazards inspection because they’re often modified over time and used heavily in family suburbs like Hampton Park. We assess visible stability and fall hazards, check for unsafe steps and paths, and look at obvious electrical risks such as damaged outdoor outlets, exposed wiring, and poor lighting that increases trip risk at night.
They can be, especially where a garage has been turned into a bedroom, office or rumpus room without proper attention to electrical safety, safe exits and floor levels. We look for indicators such as added power circuits, ad-hoc lighting, poor ventilation signs, and trip hazards at door thresholds. If anything appears unsafe or unusual, we’ll document it clearly and advise which trade should assess it.
Your report groups hazards in a way that makes it easier to prioritise. Address urgent items first—anything that could cause shock, fire, or a serious fall—then schedule medium-priority fixes like improving lighting, replacing damaged fixtures, or repairing paths. The photos and notes help you brief trades accurately, compare quotes properly, and avoid paying for work that doesn’t address the underlying risk.
