Immediate Response: Emergency Make Safe Services for Damaged Perth Properties
When your property sustains sudden damage from an unexpected event, be it a severe storm, a falling tree, a vehicle impact, or another incident, immediate action is critical to prevent the situation from escalating. A breach in the building envelope or structural compromise can quickly lead to extensive secondary damage, affecting interiors, contents, and potentially creating significant hazards. As experienced property assessors who regularly evaluate the aftermath of such incidents across Perth, we understand the critical need for swift, effective temporary repairs and securing. Our emergency make-safe service is designed for rapid deployment to stabilise your property, protect against further loss, and ensure immediate safety following sudden damage.
Who Needs Urgent Make Safe Services?
Any property owner or manager whose building has been compromised by a sudden, damaging event requires immediate action to limit further harm and ensure safety:
- Homeowners: Secure your home and protect your belongings from subsequent weather exposure, water ingress, or potential collapse of damaged elements.
- Property & Strata Managers: Fulfil professional duty of care, protect property assets across a portfolio from escalating damage, maintain resident/tenant safety, and initiate necessary steps for insurance claims.
- Commercial Property Owners/Managers: Safeguard business operations, assets, and stock from further damage and ensure site safety for employees, customers, and the public.
- Insurance Industry Professionals (Insurers, Loss Adjusters, Builders): Ensure your clients’ properties are secured promptly to mitigate the scale of potential claims and meet policy obligations for preventing further loss.
Our Rapid Response Make Safe Process:
Our experienced team is geared for urgent situations, providing practical, effective temporary securing and stabilisation solutions for various types of property damage:
- Priority Response: We offer a Priority Response service for emergency make-safe calls, aiming for the fastest possible deployment to your site based on urgency and location.
- Immediate Risk Assessment: Upon arrival, our focus is on quickly assessing the immediate hazards, identifying compromised areas, and determining the most effective temporary securing measures required.
- Targeted Temporary Securing & Repairs: We implement effective temporary measures designed specifically to make the affected area safe and protected. This commonly involves:

- Boarding up broken windows, doors, or other breaches in the building envelope.

- Temporary propping or bracing of compromised structural elements like walls, ceilings, or roof framing, if deemed necessary for safety.
- Clearing dangerous hanging debris.
- Temporary sealing of obvious water entry points.
- Engaging licensed trades to isolate damaged electrical services or plumbing in the affected area, if required and safe to do so.
- Site Securing: We ensure the immediate vicinity of the damaged area is made as safe as possible, including temporary fencing or warning signs if required, and advise occupants/managers on necessary precautions until permanent repairs are completed.
