Preparing for your safety check

There are a few steps you can take prior to your appointment to ensure we can be in and out of your property as quickly as possible.

Pets

If you have pets, please let our technician know. It’s safest if they’re kept secure or supervised during the visit.

Furniture

There's no need to move heavy furniture. Just try to keep areas around power points, gas appliances, meters, and switchboards clear so we can complete the checks for you.

Locked areas

Please unlock any rooms, sheds, or garages so we can access everything we need for a thorough check.

Heaters

If you have heaters, please turn them off before we arrive. This helps our technicians inspect them safely.
