More Than a Tick-Box Pest Check
Know what’s happening behind the walls, under the floor, and in the roof space, before it turns into a costly surprise. If you’re buying, selling, renovating, or simply want confidence about the condition of your home, a timber pest inspection gives you clear, independent evidence of termite risk and timber pest damage.
Termites and timber pests can cause serious structural damage long before it becomes obvious. A property can look “well maintained” and still have concealed activity in subfloors, wall cavities, roof framing, fences, decking, and other timber elements.
Our approach is simple: inspect thoroughly, report clearly, and tell you what it means so you can make the right call.
What We Inspect For
Our Termite and Timber Pest Inspections focus on three things:
1) Active Timber Pest Activity
We look for current activity and signs of live termites and other timber pests.
2) Evidence Of Previous Activity and Damage
We identify indicators of past termite activity, borers, fungal decay, and timber deterioration, and document visible damage where accessible.
3) Conditions That Increase Risk
We assess factors that attract or support timber pests, including moisture issues, poor ventilation, timber-to-ground contact, and other conducive conditions that raise the likelihood of future problems.
When A Termite and Timber Pest Inspection Matters Most
Pre-purchase:
Before you sign or go unconditional. This is where you have the most leverage.
Before final payment on a new build:
Confirm the site is not hiding early termite risk or timber pest conditions.
Ongoing ownership:
If you have damp areas, subfloor moisture, older timber structures, or you simply want peace of mind.

Important Limitations
A timber pest inspection is a visual inspection of accessible areas. Some parts of a property may not be accessible at the time of inspection (for example, stored items, locked areas, tight subfloors, or concealed framing). Where access is limited, we document it clearly and explain what that means for your level of certainty.
If higher-risk factors are present, we will recommend the most sensible next step.
