HOME SAFETY SERVICE SUNSHINE COAST

Fire extinguishers are a small but important part of your home fire safety plan. They can save lives and property by putting out a small fire before it escalates into a much worse situation. Being prepared with your fire extinguishers can reduce the potential of costly fire damage in your home. Kitchens are where most domestic fires occur, although it is recommended that you keep at least one fire extinguisher on every floor of your home plus an additional one in your garage or shed. Our local handyman can assist you with the installation of fire extinguishers. We can supply and fit them for you, or just do the fitting only. Call now to discuss your options.

Our home handyman services can assist you with the installation of battery-powered smoke alarms under the following guidelines. From 1 January 2017, we are able to replace your smoke alarms, but they must be replaced by a photoelectric type that complies with Australian Standard (AS) 3786-2014. Existing smoke alarms manufactured more than ten years ago also must be replaced, and any smoke alarms that do not operate when tested must be replaced immediately. Our specialists keep abreast of the current smoke alarm regulations, which also ensures their awareness of the correct placement within your home. You can trust a Sunshine Coast handyman to install your battery-powered smoke alarms. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to call.

Sunshine Coast handyman services provide a high standard of assistance when handling the installation of fire blankets in your home. Every blanket we install meets all current Australian Standards to ensure that homeowners will meet the obligatory fire and safety requirements. Fire blankets should be placed in areas, such as kitchens, where a potential fire may occur. Fires can spread very quickly so the placing of fire blankets is crucial. Therefore, we ensure they are fixed in an easily accessible position where the breakout of fire doesn’t prevent access to them. If your home is not already equipped with a fire blanket, now is the time to contact us and let us help rectify this for you.

Homes with babies and young children can’t do without the installation of child safety gates and childproof items. Our home handyman services can assist with home safety products that will reduce the risk of injuries and bring peace of mind to your family. With so many avoidable injuries happening in the home, there are a few simple steps that you should take to help to minimise the risk to your precious children. Cover all sharp furniture edges and corners with bumpers or safety padding, use safety plugs to cover up power outlets, secure furniture that can topple (bookcases, chests of drawers) to the walls, and latch closed any drawers, doors or cupboards within baby’s reach. Reach out to us for the installation of child safety gates and to help with safely securing all other areas of your home.

House break-ins are crimes of opportunity and, in most cases, entry is gained through an open and unlocked door or window. Our home handyman services can take care of the installation of door locks and deadbolts on a variety of doors. If your front entry door or other exterior door knobs are corroded and looking the worse for wear, we encourage homeowners to upgrade their security to keep their property protected. Our Sunshine Coast handyman is your trusted source for professional door lock repair and door knob replacement. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation quote.
