Our Safety Inspection Services Locally
Pre-Purchase Safety Checks
Before you sign on a unit as towers turn over, we check the switchboard, wiring and safety switches so you know exactly what you are buying into.
Pre-Sale Compliance Checks
Selling up? We check your electrical system so any issues are sorted well before a buyer's building inspection raises questions.
Rental Compliance Inspections
Owners with rental or holiday-let units get a clear report against current requirements, covering safety switches, smoke alarms and switchboard condition.
Switchboard Condition Assessment
We check ageing boards for capacity, salt corrosion and missing safety switch protection, common in older unit blocks near the beachfront.
Safety Switch Testing
Every safety switch is tested to confirm it trips correctly, protecting the household from shock in the moment it actually matters.
Salt Air Corrosion Checks
Outdoor points and switchboards near Kurrawa Beach face constant salt-laden air, so we check terminals and enclosures for early corrosion.
Smoke Alarm Checks
Units are tested to confirm smoke alarms are present, working and positioned correctly, a common requirement for rental and holiday-let compliance.
Pool and Spa Circuit Checks
Resort towers running shared pools and spas need dedicated circuits checked and bonded correctly as part of a thorough inspection.
Why Safety Inspection Choice Matters for Local Homes
An inspection is only worth as much as the electrician doing it, and the choice matters here where towers range from older 1980s blocks to newer builds:
- Older unit blocks predating mandatory safety switch rules often lack full RCD protection
- Salt-laden air off Kurrawa Beach can corrode outdoor points and switchboard terminals over time
- Pre-purchase and pre-sale checks catch costly surprises early as apartments change hands
- AS/NZS 3000 compliance may be required for a sale, lease or holiday-let listing
- Workmanship and thoroughness vary significantly between inspectors
A missed fault rarely announces itself politely. Left unchecked, an old board can develop a burning smell fault or a noisy breaker box, which is exactly the kind of thing a proper inspection is designed to catch first.
Common Problems We Find Locally
Older towers predating safety switches
Many blocks built before mandatory RCD rules still run circuits with no safety switch fitted, and this is often flagged the moment an inspection begins.
Missing safety switch protection
Older boards without RCDs leave a household exposed to shock risk, and adding protection is often the single most important outcome of an inspection.
Salt-corroded outdoor points
Constant sea air off the beachfront gradually corrodes outdoor power points and switchboard enclosures, and we check these closely on every visit.
Warning signs at the switchboard
A warm cover, a faint burnt outlet smell or a switch that will not reset cleanly are signs we check closely during every inspection.
Overdue rental and holiday-let checks
Owners with rental or holiday-let units sometimes have not had a formal compliance check done in years, leaving them exposed at renewal time.
Boards stressed by aircon and appliance load
Older switchboards were never sized for modern aircon and appliance demand, and an inspection flags capacity issues before they cause nuisance tripping.

Common questions

How does pricing work for a safety inspection?
We give you clear pricing before we start, with options discussed with your technician on site. You know the cost upfront, and every inspection is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
How long does a safety inspection take to complete?
Most unit safety inspections take one to two hours on site, depending on the size of the property and whether a pool or spa circuit needs checking too.
Is a safety inspection covered by a workmanship guarantee?
Yes. Any remedial work identified and completed during your inspection is backed by our workmanship guarantee, so it is done properly and left safe.
What standards do you inspect electrical work against?
We check your wiring, switchboard and safety switches against the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules, the national standard for safe electrical installation in Australia.
Do I need a safety inspection when buying or selling an apartment?
Many buyers and sellers request one for peace of mind or as part of due diligence, and landlords with rental or holiday-let units often need one for compliance.
Do you check older Broadbeach towers for missing safety switches?
Yes. Many older unit blocks predate mandatory safety switch rules, so we test every circuit and fit RCD protection where it is missing.
