      About This Service

      What is Safety Hazards?

      Jolimont properties range from older inner-city builds and renovated flats to modern apartments. That mix matters because safety hazards often appear where old and new meet—DIY upgrades, altered layouts, ageing wiring, steep stair geometry, and balcony elements that have weathered Melbourne’s wet winters. ACE Building and Pest Inspections delivers focused Safety Hazards inspections in Jolimont as part of professional property inspection services with clear, practical reporting. We look for conditions that could cause injury, fire risk or non-compliance, and we explain what’s urgent, what’s manageable, and what to ask the vendor or manager to rectify. You can expect a thorough onsite assessment of accessible areas, targeted checks of common high-risk points, photos to show the issue and its location, and a written report that prioritises hazards. If the property is an apartment, we also note where a hazard is likely lot responsibility versus owners corporation so you know who should act next.
      In Jolimont (3002), many properties sit close to busy roads, rail and major events precincts, which often means strata-managed buildings, shared entry corridors and older refurbished interiors. Safety hazards commonly show up in common access paths, stairwells, balconies, window openings and older switchboards—especially where renovations have added new loads or altered ventilation. A Jolimont-specific hazard inspection helps you understand what’s within the lot, what may sit in common property, and what should be addressed before settlement or tenancy.

      What's Included

      Everything You Get With Our Safety Hazards

      Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.

      Electrical safety red flags in accessible areas

      We check accessible switchboards, visible cabling, power points and light fittings for overheating signs, unsafe DIY work, missing covers, and moisture exposure risks. This matters because older apartments and renovated flats in Jolimont can carry legacy wiring with modern appliance loads, increasing fire risk if defects are present.

      Balcony and balustrade hazard screening

      We assess accessible balcony edges, balustrade stability, attachment points and obvious corrosion or movement. We also look at climbable elements and openings that can create fall risks. In Jolimont’s mix of older and newer apartment stock, balcony components can vary widely in design and wear.

      Stairs, handrails and trip-point assessment

      We check stair treads/risers, nosings, handrail presence and stability, and lighting at stair landings. We also flag uneven thresholds and abrupt level changes. These issues are common in older conversions and renovations where original layouts were modified without fully resolving safe access.

      Wet area slip and scald risk checks

      We inspect bathrooms and laundries for slip hazards such as damaged tiles, poor drainage falls, and inadequate grab points where relevant. We also note obvious hot water and tempering concerns where accessible. Wet areas become higher risk in winter when surfaces stay damp and ventilation is limited.

      Window opening and fall-risk review

      We identify windows with low sills, wide openings or hardware defects that can create fall risk, particularly in upper-level apartments. We also check for damaged latches and restricted opening devices where present. This is a key consideration in compact Jolimont apartments with large glazing and external views.

      Emergency egress and fire safety indicators

      We review accessible egress paths for obstructions, obvious door operation issues, and safety concerns such as stored items in corridors (where visible). For strata buildings, we note apparent conditions that may warrant further owners corporation records review. Clear egress is critical in multi-unit buildings common around Jolimont.

      FAQ

      Common Questions About Safety Hazards

      Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.

      Yes. Jolimont has plenty of strata-managed apartments where safety hazards can sit either inside the lot (like faulty power points or window latches) or in common property (like corridor obstructions or stairwell lighting). We document what we can access and highlight which items are likely owners corporation matters, so you know what to raise during due diligence and contract review.

      Renovations can introduce mismatched electrical loads, poor-quality DIY wiring, altered stair geometry, and uneven floor transitions where walls were moved or old finishes were removed. We often see missing handrails, trip hazards at thresholds, and wet area slip risks where drainage falls or ventilation weren’t properly addressed. Our inspection focuses on hazards that could cause injury or create fire risk.

      We check visible, accessible safety items and note obvious concerns, such as missing or damaged smoke alarms where they should be present, and hazards affecting escape routes. For strata buildings, some equipment may be maintained by the owners corporation and may require records review and specialist testing. We’ll explain what we observed onsite and what further checks may be appropriate.

      We can assess accessible balconies for obvious safety risks, including balustrade movement, corrosion, loose fixings, and climbable features that increase fall risk. Jolimont includes buildings of different eras, so balcony construction varies and wear can be uneven. We document what we can safely access and recommend next steps if the balcony shows signs of instability or deterioration.

      You’ll receive a written report with photos and clear descriptions of each identified hazard, why it matters, and a practical priority level so you can act quickly. Where relevant, we note whether the hazard is likely within the private lot or could involve common property. If you have questions after reading the report, we can talk you through the findings.
