Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We look for common warning signs like damaged cabling, unsafe temporary wiring, overloaded power boards, exposed conductors, and questionable additions to circuits. These indicators can point to fire risk or a need for an electrician to test and rectify.
We assess stairs and landings for uneven risers, loose treads, poor lighting, and inadequate handrails. Where balconies, decks, or raised platforms exist, we check for stability and obvious non-compliance risks that can lead to falls.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchen transitions are checked for raised edges, loose tiles, cracked grout, and water damage that can create slip hazards. We also note signs of ongoing moisture that can undermine floors and increase accident risk.
We inspect thresholds, paths, driveways, patios and garden steps for lifting pavers, uneven concrete, broken edging, and poor transitions between surfaces. Outdoor trip points are a common source of injury, particularly where levels have been altered during landscaping.
We review accessible structural and safety issues such as unstable shelving, unsafe access points, damaged ceiling linings, and obvious hazards around roller doors and tracks. These areas often hide risks because they’re used daily but rarely inspected closely.
We identify visible indicators that may suggest compliance issues—such as inadequate guarding, unsafe access to roof spaces, or deteriorated materials in high-touch zones. The report separates urgent hazards from lower-priority maintenance so you can plan rectification logically.

In Vermont South we often see hazards where original areas meet renovated spaces—uneven floor levels, altered door thresholds, and stairs or decks added without robust guarding. Visual electrical red flags can also appear where extra power points or lighting have been added over time. Wet area changes can introduce slippery surfaces and hidden moisture damage that affects flooring and creates trip points.
A Safety Hazards inspection focuses on identifying visible electrical safety concerns rather than performing formal electrical testing. We check for warning signs such as damaged cables, unsafe fittings, and suspect additions, then clearly recommend when a licensed electrician should test circuits, switchboards, or specific outlets. This approach helps you triage risks quickly without guessing what needs specialist attention.
Yes. Outdoor trip and fall hazards are a key part of a Safety Hazards inspection, especially where surfaces have shifted or been patched over time. We inspect accessible paths, paving, thresholds, steps, and transitions between concrete, decking and garden edges. We also note drainage or surface issues that can make areas slippery after rain, which is a common cause of accidents.
They are, where accessible. Many Vermont South properties have rear entertaining areas, raised decks, or steps down to gardens. We check for obvious stability issues, loose boards, trip edges, and the adequacy of handrails or balustrades. If we identify signs that structural elements may be compromised, we’ll recommend the right next step for a more detailed assessment.
Your report lists hazards with clear descriptions, location notes, and practical recommendations so you can prioritise urgent fixes first. This makes it easier to request rectification before settlement, obtain accurate trade quotes, or budget for improvements. We also flag items that may need specialist verification, so you can avoid vague repair allowances and focus negotiations on specific, safety-related concerns.
