Frequently asked questions

We’re here to help. Here are answers to some of the most common queries we receive.

What is a maintenance and safety inspection?

It’s a comprehensive check of your property’s condition, focusing on wear and tear, safety hazards, and compliance issues. It’s ideal for ongoing property upkeep, especially for rentals, investment properties, or older homes.

What areas do you inspect?

We assess key elements such as:

  • Structural integrity (walls, floors, roof, etc.)
  • Safety risks (loose steps, unstable balustrades, missing smoke alarms)
  • Drainage, moisture or plumbing issues
  • Electrical hazards or outdated fittings
  • General signs of deterioration or damage
Who should get a maintenance and safety inspection?

These inspections are highly recommended for:

  • Landlords or property managers
  • Homeowners of aging properties
  • Real estate agents managing rental portfolios
  • Anyone wanting peace of mind between tenants or prior to sale
How often should I schedule these inspections?

We recommend yearly inspections, or after major weather events, tenancy changes, or renovations. Regular checks help catch problems early, before they become expensive or dangerous.

Will I receive a report after the inspection?

Yes. You’ll get a detailed digital report within 24–48 hours. It includes photos, notes on any defects or risks, and clear recommendations for repairs or compliance upgrades.

Can you help with the repairs or follow-up?

Absolutely. We can help coordinate licensed trades or specialists to rectify any issues found. We also offer re-inspections to confirm that repairs have been properly completed.

Are these inspections compliant with rental legislation?

Yes. Our inspections can help ensure compliance with local rental safety and maintenance requirements, such as working smoke alarms, secure handrails, and functional drainage systems.
