Belmont’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Belmont sits about 7 km east of the Perth CBD in the City of Belmont, on a stretch of the Swan River’s southern bank. The land was granted to Captain Francis Henry Byrne in 1831 and is thought to take its name from his family estate in England, before Sydney businessman Shepherd Smith bought it in 1882 and subdivided it through the 1890s under the old Belmont Park Road Board. The suburb carried the name Belmont Park until it was shortened to Belmont in 1968, by which time it had grown into a working mix of industrial and commercial land to the west and more suburban, residential streets to the east and north, closer to the river.

The three defect categories we see most in Belmont homes are ageing roof structures in early 1900s homes, asbestos-cement materials from mid-century additions, and damp near the river and industrial-zone drainage. The oldest homes from the 1890s and early 1900s subdivisions often still carry original roof framing that needs a proper structural check. Additions and outbuildings from the mid-1900s commonly used asbestos-cement sheeting, especially in properties close to the older industrial areas. Blocks near the Swan River or the industrial west of the suburb can have drainage that wasn’t designed with today’s rainfall intensity in mind, so we check subfloor ventilation and site falls closely.

Belmont’s long industrial and residential history side by side means building standards and maintenance have varied a lot from block to block. Our registered builders cut through that variation and tell you exactly what you’re buying, with your report within 24 hours.
