Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We look for visible signs of unsafe electrics such as old-style fuse boards, missing safety switches where expected, scorch marks, loose covers, and DIY wiring to sheds or outdoor areas. These issues can increase fire risk and often require urgent attention from a licensed electrician.
We check for uneven pavers, cracked concrete, sudden level changes, slippery surfaces, and poorly formed steps—common on properties with sloping sites. We also note where handrails are missing or unstable, as falls on stairs and landings are one of the most frequent household injury risks.
Outdoor structures get heavy use in Wonga Park South. We assess accessible decks and balconies for loose boards, timber decay indicators, insecure balustrades, inadequate guardrail heights, and fixings that look compromised. Guardrail defects can present immediate danger, especially for children and visitors.
We identify the presence and visible condition of smoke alarms in accessible areas and flag common issues such as missing alarms, poor placement, or units that appear outdated. We also note household fire hazards like combustible storage near heaters or unsafe clearances where visible.
We assess wet areas for loose tiles, uneven thresholds, poorly sealed shower bases, and visible water damage that can create slippery surfaces or structural softness. Persistent moisture can also lead to mould risk, which affects indoor air quality and can worsen allergy and asthma symptoms.
We review accessible sheds, carports, gates and boundary fencing for sharp edges, instability, damaged sheeting, and unsafe access (including makeshift steps or ladders). On larger blocks, we also flag hazards such as unsecured pits, exposed drainage points, or deteriorated retaining edges where accessible.

Yes. A general building inspection looks at the overall condition of the home, while a Safety Hazards inspection focuses on immediate risks that could injure occupants or lead to urgent rectification. In Wonga Park South we often see hazards around outdoor stairs, decks, uneven paths and older electrical add-ons to sheds. The report highlights what’s dangerous, why it matters, and what to do next.
Sloping sites often mean more stairs, split levels and retaining edges, which can introduce fall risks if surfaces are uneven or handrails are missing. We regularly see slippery external steps, pavers that have lifted over time, and retaining edges without clear barriers. We also check deck and balcony guardrails for stability, as elevated outdoor areas are common on hillside properties.
We check for the presence and visible condition of smoke alarms in accessible areas and note obvious issues such as missing units, damaged casings or poor placement. We also flag visible household fire hazards, such as unsafe clearances around heating or combustible storage where we can see it. If you need compliance confirmation or electrical testing, we’ll recommend the right specialist.
They can. Heavy leaf litter and shaded areas often make paths, decks and stairs slippery, and roots can lift paving to create trip points. Overhanging branches can also impact gutters and contribute to water overflow, which can create slippery edges and moisture problems around entries. During the inspection we pay close attention to external access areas, drainage overflow signs, and timber surfaces that may be degrading.
Yes. We categorise findings in a practical way so you can prioritise. Items like unstable balustrades, exposed wiring, or high trip hazards near entries are treated as high priority because they can cause immediate harm. Lower-risk items are noted with sensible recommendations. Where a licensed trade is required, we’ll say so clearly to help you obtain quotes.
