Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check for obvious electrical hazards such as damaged outlets and switches, exposed conductors, unsafe DIY cabling, and high-risk setups in wet zones like bathrooms and laundries. In older Keilor East homes, we also look for signs of dated components that warrant further assessment by an electrician before you move in.
We assess the condition and security of stair treads, handrails, balcony rails and elevated deck edges where falls can occur. Renovated entries and split-level layouts can create non-uniform steps or loose fixings. We note movement, gaps, and other defects that can make everyday use unsafe, especially for kids and older occupants.
We identify common trip points such as lifted flooring, uneven thresholds, cracked tiles, loose carpet edges and abrupt level changes. We pay particular attention to high-traffic routes from garage to kitchen, hallways, and wet area transitions where a small defect can cause regular near-misses or injuries.
We look for hazards that often sit alongside moisture issues, including unsecured shower screens, sharp tile breaks, unstable vanities, and unsafe access into shower/bath zones. We also consider ventilation and water damage indicators that can weaken substrates and make fittings less secure over time.
We inspect driveways, steps, garden edging and paved areas for uneven surfaces, settlement, loose pavers and unprotected drops. Keilor East blocks can include changes in level, and outdoor living areas are frequently updated. We highlight areas that may need re-levelling, better lighting, or safer edge protection.
Where a pool or spa is present, we flag visible concerns that commonly create safety problems, such as gate and latch operation issues, climbable objects near barriers, and damaged fencing sections. We also identify hazards around play areas, sheds and pergolas, including sharp protrusions, unstable structures and inadequate guarding.

They can be. Many Keilor East properties were built decades ago and may have had piecemeal upgrades over time. We commonly see risks like aged switchgear, worn outlets, and DIY alterations that don’t meet current expectations. Our inspection flags visible electrical safety concerns in accessible areas and recommends when a licensed electrician should carry out targeted testing and rectification.
We can identify visible pool and spa safety risks such as damaged barrier sections, gates that don’t self-close, or climbable items near the fence line. However, formal pool barrier compliance is a specific certification process with its own requirements. If we see red flags, we’ll recommend a dedicated pool barrier inspection so you can confirm compliance before settlement or before kids use the area.
Yes. We assess accessible elevated areas for obvious fall risks, including loose or low handrails, unstable balustrades, and edge protection issues. In homes with later outdoor additions, we also look for movement, corrosion, and fixings that appear inadequate. Where a structure needs engineering or specialist input, we’ll note it clearly so you can follow up promptly.
We often find uneven paving, cracked concrete, loose step nosings and level changes between the driveway, paths and backyard entertaining areas. Settlement can create lips and slopes that are easy to miss at an inspection, especially in shaded areas. We document the hazard locations and explain practical fixes, such as re-levelling, replacing damaged sections, or improving drainage and lighting.
You’ll receive a detailed report that lists each hazard, explains why it matters, and includes photos where possible. We prioritise items so you can see what’s urgent versus what can be scheduled, and we note when a specialist trade should confirm the issue. The goal is to give you a practical plan for making the property safer, not a vague checklist.
