Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check the condition and stability of handrails, balustrades, steps and landings, including loose fixings, movement, uneven risers and gaps that can be dangerous for children. Falls are one of the most common causes of injury in homes, so we flag any areas that need urgent attention.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are assessed for slip risks and visible moisture problems such as leaking fixtures, swollen skirting, damaged flooring and poor sealing. Moisture doesn’t just cause damage—it can create slick surfaces and contribute to deterioration around door thresholds and walkways.
We look for visible electrical hazards including damaged outlets, unsafe DIY additions, exposed wiring, ageing switchboard indicators, and outdoor power points affected by weathering. Where required, we recommend a licensed electrician for testing and rectification to reduce shock and fire risk.
We inspect common trip points such as lifted pavers, cracked concrete, uneven step-downs, loose edging, and slippery algae-prone areas in shaded walkways. These issues are easy to miss during an open inspection but can lead to injuries and liability concerns.
We assess visible deterioration, instability, and unsafe connections in decks, stairs, pergolas, retaining-style elements and handrails. Outdoor structures can loosen over time and become hazardous, especially where water runoff or poor drainage accelerates timber and fixing wear.
If the property has a pool or spa, we note obvious barrier and gate concerns such as damaged panels, non-latching gates, climbable items near fencing and general condition issues. We’ll outline what we observed and recommend a formal compliance check where needed.

In Narre Warren, we often see hazards linked to everyday family use: loose stair rails, slippery bathroom floors, uneven paving, and deteriorating outdoor structures like decks or pergolas. Some homes also show signs of ageing electrical components or DIY additions that need a licensed electrician. The inspection focuses on visible risks that can cause injury, plus conditions that can lead to safety failures over time.
Yes. A building and pest inspection covers the overall condition of the structure and looks for issues like movement, moisture damage and timber pests. A Safety Hazards inspection is more targeted to injury and compliance-type risks, such as fall hazards, slip points, visible electrical dangers, and unsafe external areas. Many buyers choose both to understand the property’s condition and the immediate safety priorities.
Absolutely. Outdoor areas are a major source of trip and fall incidents. We assess paths, paving, steps, drainage points, decking surfaces and transitions between indoor and outdoor levels. In Narre Warren, shaded side access and backyard entertaining areas can stay damp and become slippery, while movement in paving can create sudden height differences. We document hazards and recommend practical fixes.
Yes—newer homes can still have hazards. In Narre Warren estates, we commonly find issues such as loose balustrade fixings, poorly finished step edges, drainage that sends water toward walkways, and outdoor power points exposed to weather. Even small defects can become bigger risks once the home is lived in. A safety-focused inspection helps you catch problems early and plan rectification before they worsen.
Yes. A Safety Hazards inspection is a practical way to reduce injury risk and identify maintenance items that could become urgent call-outs after the lease starts. We’ll highlight hazards in high-use areas like stairs, bathrooms, entries, and external paths, and provide a clear, prioritised report. If we see anything that needs specialist testing, we’ll recommend the right trade to engage.
