INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Padbury’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Padbury sits about 23 km north-west of the Perth CBD, named in 1971 after early WA settler Walter Padbury and built out through the 1970s and into the 80s. The suburb folds in smaller pockets known locally as Whitfords in the north, Hepburn Heights in the south-east and Pinnaroo Heights in the east, and it’s the Hepburn Heights Bushland that gives Padbury its most distinctive local feature: almost 21 hectares of remnant bushland that locals fought to save from development through a six-year campaign in the late 1980s and early 90s. Around it sits a settled suburb of brick and tile homes from the project-home era.

The three defect categories we see most in Padbury homes are ageing brick and tile from the 1970s, asbestos-cement sheeting, and termite activity near bushland reserves. Homes now around 50 years old commonly show roof undulation and tired mortar joints that were never picked up at a routine sale. That era of construction also commonly used asbestos-cement sheeting in eaves, fencing and garages. Properties backing onto Hepburn Heights Bushland or other reserves sit closer to remnant vegetation, which gives termites an easy path onto the block.

A quiet, established suburb like Padbury still has fifty-year-old roofs and original wiring hiding behind a tidy garden. Our registered builders go through the roof space, brickwork and any additions in detail so you’re not caught out after settlement. You’ll have the 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.
