For homeowners

Home security across Melbourne metro

You’ve noticed it too. It’s not paranoia — it’s a pattern.

Cars taken off driveways with cloned keys. The community pages full of doorbell footage from streets you know. Vehicle theft in Victoria is at a 25-year high — and the way most of it starts is depressingly ordinary: someone walks into an unlocked house and picks the keys up off the bench. Burglars don’t pick streets. They pick the easiest house on the street.

The question isn’t whether your area gets hit. It’s whether your home is the one that gets picked.

Offenders make that decision from the footpath, in seconds, on what they can see. Which is why the unglamorous hardware matters more than anything with an app.

Fifteen minutes at your door.

The free doorstep check

You show us what’s been on your mind — the door, the gate, the garage — and we measure it and price it on the spot. No cost, no obligation.

2

We don’t sell what you don’t need.

Security-first thinking

This isn’t handyman work with a security logo. If a job doesn’t make your home harder to get into, we don’t sell it — and if what you’ve got is already solid, we’ll say so.

The number comes before the work.

Published prices

Prices are published wherever they can be printed, and anything made to measure gets one fixed figure in writing first. No hourly meter, no call-out fee, no surprise bills.

Owner-operated, one discipline: quality hardware fitted properly, every price in writing — and your home stops being the easy one on the street.

For landlords & property buyers

Minimum-standards fixes at published prices — and documented reports for landlords, buyers and self-managers.

Victoria keeps raising the bar. Most rentals are carrying a gap.

Record-keeping and two-yearly gas and electrical checks from October 2026. Heating, cooling, insulation and showerhead triggers from March 2027. Draught-proofing from July 2027. The expensive version of compliance is the one that surfaces mid-tenancy, on someone else’s timeline.

Left until it’s urgent

  • Gaps surface when a tenant complains, at re-let, or in a dispute — the worst possible moments.
  • Urgent repairs at urgent prices — no time to compare quotes or plan the work.
  • The 2027 upgrades arrive unbudgeted, all at once.
  • At VCAT, there’s no record showing you took compliance seriously.

Handled by Safehaus

  • Minimum-standards items fixed at published prices — one visit wherever stock allows.
  • Dated completion photos for your property file on every job, sent to you or your agent.
  • 2027 upgrades identified early, with licensed trades introduced and timing coordinated.
  • Your gas and electrical check dates recorded, so the two-year cycle doesn’t creep up on you.
Rental compliance work completed by Safehaus at Melbourne properties

You’ll always know what we’d charge — and you’re never obliged to use us.

Safehaus both checks properties and fixes them. Where a report finds something we can fix, we tell you our price for it, at the same published rate anyone else pays.

The report is yours to take anywhere. We take no commissions, referral fees or rebates from trades or suppliers — so nothing in a report depends on you buying anything from us.
