Pool certification services: what we inspect and what you get

This post first went up in 2019 to explain our service. The service hasn't changed much: we inspect your pool barrier against NSW law and the Australian Standard, then you get either a certificate or a clear plan to get there. For the current detail, see pool inspections in Sydney.

What we inspect

• every gate, and whether it self-closes and latches from any open position
• every latch, and its height
• the pool barrier itself: height, gaps, panels and posts
• boundary fencing where it forms part of the barrier
• landscaping and anything else in the non-climbable zones

What you get

If your pool complies, you get a certificate of compliance, recorded on the NSW Swimming Pool Register and valid for 3 years. If it doesn't, you get a written notice listing what to fix, with practical options, and a re-inspection once the work is done.

Buying a property?

We can arrange access with the vendor or agent so you know what the barrier needs before you commit. See pre-purchase inspections.

Be ready

Many pools need small fixes before they pass. Our pre-inspection checklist covers the usual ones. For prices, see pricing, or call Garry on 0417 277 164.
