INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Kallaroo’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Kallaroo emerged as part of the Whitford Development Scheme, the same 1969 coastal rezoning that shaped Craigie and Hillarys, and was officially named in 1970 from an Aboriginal word meaning road to the water. The suburb’s western section, beyond Dampier Avenue, wasn’t developed until the mid-to-late 1980s and was marketed at the time as Northshore. St Ives Retirement Village runs along Dampier Avenue, and a coastal shared path connects Kallaroo’s beach frontage from Whitfords Avenue to Mullaloo Drive. Street names throughout the suburb commemorate famous Western Australian shipwrecks, including the Batavia, a nod to the coast just beyond the dunes.
The three defect categories we see most in Kallaroo homes are asbestos-cement materials, coastal corrosion and ageing roof structures. The original eastern section went up through the early 1970s as part of the Whitford Development Scheme, and fibro sheeting from that era still shows up in eaves and garages. Being on the coast, with a shared path running the length of the suburb’s beach frontage, salt air corrodes roof fixings and gutters faster than inland suburbs. The newer Northshore section west of Dampier Avenue, built through the mid-to-late 1980s, has its own ageing roof coverings now approaching 40 years old.
Kallaroo’s two building eras carry different risks, and a buyer needs to know which one applies to the specific property. Our registered builders assess the home on its actual age and construction, 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.
What’s Included in Your Kallaroo Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Kallaroo inspection is carried out by a licensed registered builder (BP104751), not a generalist with a checklist. We physically access roof voids, subfloors and external structures wherever it’s safe to do so, and we inspect against the building code our inspectors have spent their careers working under. On Kallaroo’s original 1970s homes and the later Northshore section, our builder-inspectors check for fibro sheeting and roof condition according to the actual age of the property, and look closely at salt-driven corrosion on coastal-facing roofs and fixtures.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Kallaroo
A full timber pest inspection is included with every combined booking, not bolted on as an upsell. We check for active subterranean termite activity, evidence of past activity, termite conducive conditions, failed or expired chemical barriers, and wood borer activity across the property, fencing and outbuildings.
Kallaroo’s established gardens on its older, eastern section give termites cover close to a number of homes, despite the sandy coastal soils generally. We check subfloors, roof timbers and garden beds against the walls closely.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Kallaroo report lands in your inbox within 24 hours of the inspection. It’s not a generic template. Every defect we identify is photographed, captioned and explained in plain English with the relevant Australian Standard or NCC clause cited where applicable. You’ll see exactly what the issue is, why it matters, and what it’s likely to cost to remediate. We also include a follow-up consultation call so you can walk through the findings with your inspector before any negotiation or settlement decisions.

What Kallaroo Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a building and pest inspection in Kallaroo cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Kallaroo is $499 + GST, fixed price, and it saves $99 + GST (approximately 16.6%) compared to booking the two separately, based on a 4×2 home. For buyers who want the most thorough inspection available, our Advanced Building & Pest Inspection is $799 + GST. Pricing is fixed with no travel surcharges across Kallaroo, Mullaloo, Beldon, Craigie, Hillarys and Padbury and the surrounding northern coastal suburbs.
What does a building and pest inspection cover?
Our inspectors inspect more than your average inspector. How? We are qualified registered builders, so we go where the others won’t and we detect what the others can’t. Read more about what a full building and pest inspection covers.
How long does a building inspection in Kallaroo take?
Most inspections take 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size, age and access of the home. Older homes, bigger blocks and homes with extensions or outbuildings take longer, because we inspect all of it. Your detailed photo report arrives within 24 hours.
Do I need a termite inspection in Kallaroo?
Yes, particularly on Kallaroo’s original 1970s homes with established gardens. Termites find opportunity in decades-old timber framing even this close to the coast. Our $499 + GST building and pest inspection checks for activity and damage, with your report within 24 hours. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Kallaroo do you cover?
We cover all of Kallaroo (6025) and the suburbs around it, including Mullaloo, Beldon, Craigie, Hillarys and Padbury. We inspect right across the North Metro & Northern Beaches and the rest of Perth.
Is a building inspection required when buying property in Western Australia?
It isn’t a legal requirement, but Consumer Protection WA recommends making your offer subject to a building inspection. Without one, you buy the home as it is. Make sure your contract includes a building inspection clause, and book the inspection within 2 to 3 business days of your offer being accepted so you have time to act on the report.
What should I look for when buying a home in Kallaroo?
If the home is in the original eastern section, check eaves and garages for fibro sheeting and look closely at the roof’s age. If it’s in the Northshore section west of Dampier Avenue, check 1980s-era roof coverings and general workmanship instead. Either way, check for salt-driven corrosion on roof fixings and gutters given the coastal position. Check subfloor ventilation and garden beds for termite activity. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Kallaroo. Do you offer new construction inspections?
Yes. We inspect new homes at every stage, from the slab through to handover. See our guide to construction stage inspections in WA, and use our PCI checklist before you take the keys. It’s far cheaper to have the builder fix defects before you move in than after.
Can you negotiate the price after a building and pest inspection?
Yes. A detailed report with photos and plain-English explanations gives you solid evidence to renegotiate the price or ask the seller to fix defects before settlement. Talk to your settlement agent early, because your building inspection condition has a deadline.
What makes WA Building Inspections different?
Our inspectors are licensed registered builders (BP104751). Real Builders. Better Inspections. We know how a home should have been built, not just how it looks, and we inspect to AS 4349.1 with a full timber pest inspection to AS 4349.3. Every report arrives within 24 hours, with a follow-up call to walk you through it.
What's the difference between Kallaroo's original section and the Northshore development for a buyer?
The eastern part of Kallaroo dates from the early 1970s Whitford Development Scheme, so expect fibro sheeting and ageing roofs. West of Dampier Avenue, the Northshore section was developed through the mid-to-late 1980s and carries different age-related risks, mainly ageing roof coverings and dated wet areas rather than asbestos. Our inspection is tailored to the actual age and construction of the specific property, not a blanket assumption.
