Safety Hazards Inspection in Mulgrave

In Mulgrave we often see trip hazards from uneven paths or shifted pavers, older external steps without secure handrails, and wet-area issues that create slippery floors. Renovations can also introduce sudden floor level changes or non-standard stair details. We document these risks with photos and clear notes so you can prioritise fixes and, where needed, book the right specialist to confirm compliance.

No. A building inspection focuses on overall condition and defects, while a Safety Hazards inspection targets practical risks that could injure occupants or create immediate danger. We look closely at fall risks (stairs, balconies, decking edges), trip hazards, wet-area slip conditions, and visible electrical red flags. Many clients book this alongside a building and pest inspection for a clearer, more usable action plan.

We can note the presence and visible condition of safety items where accessible, but formal testing of electrical safety devices is best done by a qualified electrician. Our role is to identify visible warning signs—damage, heat marks, unsafe fittings, moisture risks—and to highlight where professional testing should be arranged. This approach helps you avoid relying on assumptions before settlement or tenancy.

Yes. Townhouses and units commonly have internal staircases, balconies and compact wet areas, which makes handrail security, balustrade integrity and bathroom slip risk particularly important. Older houses often present more external hazards such as uneven paving, ageing steps, and retrofitted additions with mismatched floor levels. We tailor the inspection to the property type and how people actually move through the space.

Immediately. The report groups hazards by location and seriousness so you can address the highest-risk items first—such as unstable rails, obvious trip points, or electrical red flags. For issues needing specialist confirmation, we outline the next trade to contact and what to ask them to check. That way, you can obtain repair quotes, plan works, or negotiate before finalising decisions.
