EmergencyMake-Safe

Emergency make-safe is the immediate response to secure a property after sudden damage — such as storm, fire, or flood — preventing further loss or injury. In Australia, make-safe works are typically authorised by your insurer and carried out by licensed builders within hours of the event. Oxide Construct provides 24/7 emergency make-safe response with verified trades dispatched through our Assessmate platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What constitutes an emergency make-safe situation?
Any situation where a property is exposed to further damage or poses a safety risk -- including storm damage, fallen trees, fire damage, flood water intrusion, structural collapse, or vehicle impact. If in doubt, call us.
How quickly can Oxide respond to an emergency?
Our Oxide Response teams are on standby 24/7 across Australia. We aim to have a team on-site or en route within 60 minutes of your call, depending on location.
Who pays for emergency make-safe work?
Make-safe costs are typically covered under your insurance policy as part of the claim. We liaise directly with your insurer to manage approvals and billing.
Do I need to be present during the make-safe?
No. If the property is unsafe to occupy, our team can secure it without you being present. We document everything with photos and reports for your records and your insurer.
