Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check for uneven pavers, cracked concrete, slippery surfaces, and inconsistent step heights—issues that are common on sloping sites and around older landscaping. These hazards are a frequent cause of falls and can be expensive to fix if widespread.
We inspect accessible decks, stairs and landings for loose boards, deteriorated supports, and unsafe gaps. We also assess whether handrails and balustrades appear fit for purpose, because failures here can cause serious injury, particularly in family homes with outdoor entertaining areas.
We look for visible signs of unsafe electrical conditions such as damaged power points, exposed wiring, questionable outdoor connections, and improvised cabling to sheds or pergolas. Where concerns are identified, we recommend follow-up by a qualified electrician.
We note the presence and apparent placement of smoke alarms in accessible areas and highlight obvious gaps that can affect early warning. We also check for other visible fire risks such as heat damage marks, unsafe clearances around heaters, and hazardous storage near ignition sources.
We assess accessible wet areas for slip risks, water ingress indicators, and ventilation issues that contribute to mould growth. These conditions can create health concerns and accelerate deterioration, particularly where waterproofing is aged or exhaust fans are ineffective.
We inspect accessible boundary and internal fencing, gates and latches for obvious hazards like sharp edges, instability, and gaps that can pose risks to children and pets. Where pools or spas are present, we flag visible barrier and gate issues that commonly lead to compliance problems.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
On sloping sites in Narre Warren East, we often see uneven paving, inconsistent step heights, unstable retaining edges, and poor drainage that creates slippery walkways. Raised decks and split-level entries can also increase fall risk if handrails or balustrades are loose or undersized. Our inspection focuses on accessible paths, stairs and outdoor areas to identify where a simple misstep could cause injury.
Yes, where they’re accessible, we include common outbuildings and additions such as sheds, carports and pergolas because they frequently contain hazards. We look for unstable floors, trip edges, deteriorated timbers, unsafe access steps, and visible electrical red flags like exposed wiring or improvised outdoor power connections. If we identify concerns, we’ll note what trades should assess the issue further.
A Safety Hazards inspection is a visual, practical assessment of accessible areas to identify safety red flags, not a full electrical test-and-tag or certification service. We don’t certify wiring or test circuits in the way an electrician would. If we see damaged outlets, exposed wiring, risky outdoor connections or other warning signs, we document them clearly and recommend follow-up by a qualified electrician.
We assess the deck surface for loose or degraded boards, check stairs and landings for stability, and look closely at handrails and balustrades for obvious fall risks. We also review trip points around thresholds, garden edges and outdoor steps, plus lighting and power points in entertaining areas. These zones get heavy use, so small defects can quickly become injury risks.
Use the report to prioritise the high-risk items first, then decide whether you want the vendor to repair, provide a credit, or adjust the purchase price. For hazards involving electrical, structural stability or pool barriers, arrange specialist quotes so your negotiation is based on real rectification costs. ACE’s photos and clear descriptions make it easier to communicate issues with the agent and trades.
