INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Duncraig’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Duncraig remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, then filled in quickly through the 1970s: Davallia Primary School and Duncraig Library both opened in 1974, Duncraig Primary School in 1975, and 1979 alone brought the Carine Glades tavern, Glengarry Private Hospital and Duncraig Senior High School. The Mitchell Freeway connection to the CBD wasn’t completed until 1986, which shows how much of the suburb’s growth came before the easy commute existed. Beyond the southern boundary, Carine Regional Open Space centres on two large swamps that support rare waterbirds, and the suburb’s north-west corner carries streets named after Gilbert and Sullivan operatic characters.

The three defect categories we see most in Duncraig homes are asbestos-cement materials, ageing roof structures and damp near the wetlands. Most of the suburb went up through the 1970s, and fibro sheeting from that era still turns up in eaves, garages and older additions. Original tile roofs are now up to 50 years old, and we check battens and flashings rather than just the surface. Properties near Carine Regional Open Space, with its two large swamps, sit closer to a higher water table than the rest of the suburb, and we check subfloor ventilation and drainage carefully on those blocks.

Fifty years is a long time for a roof or a subfloor to go unchecked, and Duncraig’s wetland-adjacent blocks add their own drainage complications on top of that age. Our registered builders check both, with your report within 24 hours.

The difference with WA Building Inspections is simple: our inspectors are licensed registered builders (BP104751). Real Builders. Better Inspections. That’s why over 30,000 Perth home buyers have trusted us.
