WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
Thank you so very much to Samira and Joseph for making the whole process of the pool compliance so easy for us. I have previously dealt with other inspectors who are unnecessarily arrogant and offer no explanations or guidance or solutions. In contrast, both Samira and Joseph gave us so much time to help us understand and they had so much patience. They guided us and helped us with solutions through the whole process and they were not bothered by us going back and forth to them with many questions that we had. I highly recommend these lovely people and I have asked them to add me to the list so that they can automatically provide me their service at next pool compliance time. It is never nice dealing with compliance issues, but it was a pleasure dealing with Samira and Joseph.
I engaged Melbourne Pool Safety Inspection to inspect my pool barriers and issue a compliance certificate for the Moonee Valley City Council. The fee quoted was very competitive. They responded promptly to my initial enquiry and accommodated my preferred date and time for inspection. I received updates via SMS prior to the inspection, including an estimated time of arrival, which was accurate and helpful. Samira was friendly and professional in her approach. She conducted a thorough but efficient inspection, taking the time to answer all my questions and offer practical advice. Samira then told me when to expect the compliance certificate, but delivered it several days early. The entire process, including lodgement of the compliance certificate with the council, concluded within a week. I highly recommend their services.
I called Melbourne Pool Safety Inspection after I found their details on the internet. Samira visited and gave me a thorough, direct and easy to understand assessment of the compliance of my pool barrier compliance. It was installed 25 years ago and there were a few issues that needed to be addressed. Samira was very clear on what needed to be done and the processes that would follow. At the follow up inspection because of the clarity and full explanation I had all work completed and met the standard to be granted a certificate. I found the whole process very professional and thorough - I would recommend Melbourne Pool Safety Inspection to anybody for pool safety certification.
The experience I have had with this business has been excellent. From the initial contact, communication with me has been very prompt, arranged appointments on time and I received a detailed, comprehensive report 24 hours after the initial inspection.
Throughout the inspection I was impressed by the knowledge and efficiency displayed by Samira and also by engaging me in the conversation about solutions and assistance with arranging rectification work.
Again I was impressed by the efficiency and quality of work undertaken by Joseph to rectify the identified problems and the prompt issuing of the Certificate of Compliance.
What a positive experience I have had with a business which is well organized, efficient and importantly, shows it cares about its client. Well done and thank you.
