We Never Charge for Re-Inspections
A Clear Report, Time to Fix It, and Free Re-Inspections
Finding problems at a pool inspection is normal. Standards have changed over the years, gates sag and gardens grow. What matters is what happens next.
If your barrier doesn't pass, you get a written report with photos of each item, what the standard requires and a practical way to fix it. You have up to 60 days to do the work. Then we come back and re-inspect for free, as many times as it takes. We never charge for re-inspections.
Hand-Tool Fixes, No Charge
Fixed on the Day, Free
Small things that only need hand tools get fixed while Joseph is there, at no charge:
- Trimming branches and plants that make the fence climbable
- Adjusting gate hinges so the gate closes and latches by itself
- Moving posts and panels back into line
Anything bigger is listed in your report with photos and practical examples, and we re-inspect for free once it's done.
Councils Set the Deadline, Not Us
Running Out of Time?
Councils set the deadline, not us, but we can help you arrange an extension with your council if the repairs will take longer than 60 days. Where real progress has been made, a further seven days can be allowed at re-inspection. If no attempt is made to fix the barrier, the law requires us to lodge a Certificate of Barrier Non-Compliance (Form 24) with your council, and your council may issue an infringement notice and fines. We'd much rather help you pass.
