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, exposed cabling, improvised connections, overloaded multi-boards, and non-compliant lighting or exhaust fan installations. These are common risks in renovated areas and can present fire or shock hazards, especially in kitchens, laundries and bathrooms.
We assess internal and external stairs for secure fixings, consistent riser heights, sound treads, and safe handrails and balustrades. Loose rails, wobbly newel posts and uneven steps are frequent injury causes and can be missed during a standard walk-through.
We identify uneven paving, lifting pavers, cracked paths, poor drainage that creates algae build-up, and abrupt level changes at door thresholds. These hazards matter for everyday use, particularly for kids, older occupants and anyone carrying groceries or moving furniture.
We check for obvious structural and safety issues such as movement, deteriorated timber, corroded brackets, inadequate bracing, and unsafe edge protection. In properties with added outdoor entertaining areas, attachment quality and weather exposure can quickly turn into a fall risk.
Where accessible, we assess access points and visible conditions that can create hazards—such as unstable manhole surrounds, poor clearance, protruding nails, and unsafe storage platforms. We also note conditions that increase risk during maintenance (for example, cramped access near services).
We look for safety concerns such as loose fixtures, inadequate ventilation leading to slippery mould-prone surfaces, and visible water damage that can weaken flooring near showers or baths. Wet areas are high-risk zones for slips and can indicate bigger maintenance problems behind finishes.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In Jordanville we often see hazards linked to ageing components and renovations: loose or uneven external steps, unstable handrails, lifting pavers and slippery shaded pathways, and signs of DIY electrical work in upgraded kitchens or laundries. Units and townhouses can also have balcony or stairwell safety issues. A Safety Hazards inspection focuses on the injury risks that a quick viewing won’t reveal.
Yes. A general building inspection looks broadly at the condition of the property, while a Safety Hazards inspection concentrates on items that can directly cause harm—slips, trips, falls, shocks and other immediate risks. We still document related building issues, but the report is structured to help you act quickly on hazards that affect safe occupancy and maintenance activities.
Yes. We inspect decks, verandahs, pergolas and stairs for visible safety risks such as movement, deteriorated timber, corrosion at fixings, and inadequate edge protection. Outdoor areas are heavily used and weather-exposed, so small defects can escalate quickly. If we see signs suggesting a structural concern beyond visual assessment, we’ll recommend the right next step, such as an engineer or licensed builder review.
Renovations can look polished but still hide hazards at the details: uneven level changes between old and new floors, poorly fixed handrails, non-compliant stair geometry, and wet-area issues that lead to slippery surfaces or weakened flooring. We also watch for indicators of unapproved or DIY work around power points, lighting, exhaust fans and outdoor structures. The goal is to identify what needs correction before it becomes an incident.
Your report will list each hazard, why it matters, and recommended actions, including which items should be addressed immediately. For electrical, plumbing or structural concerns, we’ll advise engaging the appropriate licensed trade or specialist for repairs or further testing. If you’re buying, the findings can help you negotiate repairs, adjust your budget, or decide whether the property is safe for your needs.
