Maida Vale’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Maida Vale traces back to 1873, when William Henry Mead built a home in the Ridge Hill area and established the Orangedale orchard, though the suburb didn’t take its current name until 1910, borrowed from a property owner’s name and ultimately from the West London district. It’s kept more of its bushland than most Perth suburbs its age, with natural vegetation still standing between homes rather than everything cleared for lawn, and it’s known locally for flocks of Carnaby’s black cockatoos of up to 300 birds and a rare native flower, the Maida Vale bell. The busy six-ways intersection of Kalamunda, Hawtin and Gooseberry Hill Roads sits at the suburb’s centre, near the golf course, parks and local shops that anchor day-to-day life here.

The three defect categories we see most in Maida Vale homes are asbestos-cement materials, timber pest damage, and bushfire-exposed eaves and gutters. Properties from the orchard-era decades commonly used asbestos-cement sheeting in outbuildings and additions, and we treat it as present until tested. The retained bushland that gives Maida Vale its character also gives termites a direct route into older subfloors and roof timbers. With natural vegetation running close to many homes, we check roofs and gutters for the kind of gaps and buildup that let embers in during a bushfire.

Living this close to retained bushland is part of Maida Vale’s appeal, but it changes what a proper inspection needs to cover. Our registered builders check the structure, the timber pest risk and the bushfire exposure of the home, then give 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.
