Pricing
Pool certificate cost: what's included
A fixed fee, quoted up front on the phone. No surprises. Here's what you get for it, and what can change the price.
What you get
What's included
The inspection
A full barrier inspection: fence heights and gaps, gates and latches, non-climbable zones and access from the house, checked against NSW law and the Australian Standard.
Clear answers on the day
Every finding explained on site, in plain English, so you know exactly where your pool stands before we leave.
Certificate or notice
Pass: your certificate of compliance, recorded on the NSW Swimming Pool Register and valid for 3 years. Not yet: a certificate of non-compliance if required, with a written list of what to fix, then a re-inspection.
What can change the cost
- More than one pool or spa on the property.
- A pool and a separate spa, each with its own barrier.
- A re-inspection, if the pool needs work before it can pass.
- Location, for properties well outside our usual area.
Tell us about the property when you call and we'll give you the full price before we come out.
How to avoid paying for a re-inspection
Most fails come down to a handful of things: a gate that doesn't self-close and latch, something climbable near the fence, or ground built up against a boundary fence. Walk the fence line before we arrive with our pool and spa safety checklist and read why pools fail inspection.

Pricing questions
Why don't you list prices online?
Every property is a little different: one pool or two, a spa, how far away. A quick call means you get the right price for your property, fixed before we book.
Do I pay again if my pool fails?
A failed inspection means a re-inspection once the fixes are done. We explain exactly what to fix so you only need one return visit.
Can my agent book for me?
Yes. Agents and property managers book on their clients' behalf all the time. See agents and conveyancers.
