INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Lesmurdie’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Lesmurdie was established in 1897 by Archibald Sanderson, a politician and journalist who bought up land from the Canning Jarrah Timber Company to build a rural retreat and fruit-growing estate, and the suburb wasn’t officially gazetted until 8 June 1959. Access climbs the Darling Scarp via Welshpool Road East from Wattle Grove, or via Canning Road from the surrounding hills suburbs, and the reward at the top is Lesmurdie Falls, with its sweeping views back across the Swan Coastal Plain to the Perth CBD. It’s a well-established suburb now, home to three high schools and shopping strips on Sanderson Road and at Rooth and Lesmurdie Roads, with housing spanning decades of scarp-side development.

The three defect categories we see most in Lesmurdie homes are retaining walls and sloping-block drainage, ageing roof structures, and timber pest damage. Building on the scarp means dealing with real grade, and we check retaining walls, stepped footings and how stormwater moves across the block rather than pooling against the house. Many Lesmurdie homes are decades old, and original roof framing needs a proper look in the roof space, not a glance from the driveway. Bushland pockets near the Falls reserve and mature gardens elsewhere in the suburb give termites plenty of cover in older timber.

A view like Lesmurdie’s comes with scarp-side engineering that has to be right, and that’s exactly where a registered builder’s eye matters most. We check the structure, the site and the timber, then get you a clear 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.
