Book an Electrical Safety Check in Preston
Preston is home to everything from older brick houses to units, townhouses, stores, and apartment blocks. Regardless of age or style, every rental property must meet Victoria’s minimum rental standards. As mandated since March 2023, this includes having modern switchboards fitted with circuit breakers and electrical safety switches (RCDs).
An electrical safety check in Preston includes:
- Complete switchboard assessment and RCD testing
- Verification of circuit breaker compliance
- Identification of potential electrical hazards
- Testing of all safety switches to current standards
- Clear reporting with photographic evidence
- Minor on-the-spot fixes at no extra charge
Our licensed and registered electricians carry $20M public liability insurance and can coordinate smoke alarm inspections during the same visit.

Comprehensive Gas Safety Inspections
Gas connections are very common in rental properties, particularly in older homes and units with gas heating, cooktops, and hot water systems. Victorian regulations also require that these safety checks take place at least once every two years.
Our licensed and registered gas technicians provide:
- Gas Appliance Servicing (Legal Requirement) as per AS 4575
- Verification of proper ventilation for gas heating systems
- Gas main consumer line leak and Pressure retention test
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) testing to protect tenant health
- Gas Installation Inspection against AS/NZS 5601 gas installation standards
- Extensive inspection of all gas fittings and connections for any leaks
- Assessment of gas hot water systems and cooktops
- Negative pressure testing for gas appliances
- Every inspection is carried out carefully, with a focus on identifying issues early and preventing unnecessary risk.
Smoke Alarm Safety Checks for Preston Rental Properties
Smoke alarm checks must be completed once every year, and it’s the responsibility of rental providers to make sure that this happens. The Compliance Fixer team can carry out all of the following check and balances:
- Battery functionality and free replacements
- Correct placement according to Australian Standards in the NCC (National Construction Code)
- Install a replacement (if required)
- Alarm age and operational status
- Compliance with current Victorian minimum standards
- Functional tests to ensure alarms are actually working
- Interconnection between multiple alarms (where required)
- Decibel tests confirming that the alarms sound loud enough
If a replacement or upgrade is required, we can complete the work immediately without arranging another appointment. Once finished, you’ll receive confirmation and full compliance documentation.
We can also coordinate inspections across multiple Preston properties, and this is easy to manage with our 7-point booking system.
