INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Dianella’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Dianella takes its name from the small blue lily that once covered the Banksia sandplain here, ground the early colony considered too sandy for farming. That held the area back until the 1960s, when housing construction pushed north from Walter Road and Grand Promenade and gave Dianella its core of post-war brick and tile homes. Growth didn’t stop there: newer estates like St Andrews, Montclair Rise and Dress Circle went in during the early 2000s, so the suburb now runs from modest 1960s three-by-ones through to large modern two-storey homes, all served by Dianella Plaza, open since 1968, and the sporting grounds of Dianella Regional Open Space.

The three defect categories we see most in Dianella homes are ageing roofs on the original post-war stock, asbestos-cement materials, and sandy soil movement around footings. Homes from the 1960s commonly used tiled roofs that are now well overdue for a proper check, and the same era often used asbestos-cement sheeting in eaves and outbuildings. The Banksia sandplain soil underneath much of Dianella drains fast and offers little support to poorly built footings, so we watch for cracking that points to movement rather than just age.

A suburb with 60-plus years of continuous building means every era needs a different set of eyes. Our registered builders know exactly what to expect from a 1960s original and a 2000s estate home alike, and you get the full picture in a report within 24 hours.
