Do tenants need to be home for inspections?

Not at all. As long as we have access to the property, inspections can proceed whether tenants are present or not.

What types of properties do you inspect in Thornbury?

We work with all kinds of properties, from character-filled older homes with gas appliances to modern apartment complexes. Each inspection is tailored to the property, so nothing is missed.

Are smoke alarms included in every inspection?

Yes. We test all alarms for proper operation, battery health, and placement. If any unit is nearing the end of its life, we replace it as part of the service.

How often should electrical safety checks be done?

Victoria’s rental laws require a full electrical inspection every two years, but it is good practice to keep an eye on appliances in between checks.

Can you inspect multiple properties in one visit?

Yes. We can coordinate inspections for multiple properties and provide clear, consolidated compliance documentation for each one. All documentation meets compliance with the Residential Tenancies compliance standards.

How do inspections work in high-rise or multi-unit buildings?

We handle all the logistics including lift access, resident notifications, and permissions. This ensures a smooth process while checking all electrical and gas systems efficiently.

What happens if a serious safety problem is found?

Minor issues are often fixed immediately. For larger problems, we provide a detailed report with recommendations so you can address them safely.

Will I get enough notice before a check is required?

We contact you ahead of the due date so you have time to arrange access and avoid any stress. All key dates are also recorded in your portal for easy reference.

How soon will I get the compliance certificates?

We issue audit-ready certificates promptly after each inspection, giving rental providers and property managers proof of compliance without delay.

Why You Need a Gas and Electrical Safety Check in Thornbury

Safety compliance isn’t the same as a kitchen renovation. What we mean is that it isn’t optional or down to a matter of preference. The recently introduced minimum rental standards in Victoria are very clear cut. These regulations require all rental providers to schedule regular safety inspections to protect tenants and create a hazard-free environment.

At Compliance Fixer, we take real pride in offering a service that’s honest, practical, and never over the top. Our technicians treat every property with care, just as we would with our very own homes.

The most common checks include smoke alarm, gas, and electrical safety inspections, all of which we can handle. For Thornbury properties, gas and electrical inspections are required every two years, while smoke alarms must be tested annually.

Still unsure about your obligations? Wondering if you need both a smoke alarm and an electrical safety check in Thornbury? Be sure to give us a call today. Our friendly team is ready to answer questions and guide you through the process.
