Parkerville’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Parkerville sits about 28 km east of the Perth CBD in the Shire of Mundaring, opened for selection in 1895 and built up around a railway station that arrived the following year. The old Railway Hotel, now the Parkerville Tavern, has served the town since 1902, and the Parkerville Children’s Home, established by Sister Kate in 1903, remains one of the suburb’s defining landmarks, along with its bush cemetery and 1909 chapel. Jane Brook runs through the suburb on its way to the Swan River through John Forrest National Park, and by the early 2000s growth pressure from Perth’s expanding suburbs had reached the district. The suburb has hard experience of bushfire too: in January 2014, homes in Parkerville and neighbouring suburbs were lost to fire.

The three defect categories we see most in Parkerville homes are bushfire-prone building elements, asbestos-cement materials, and timber pest damage. Given the fire history here, we pay close attention to ember-entry points such as gaps in roofing, gutters and subfloor vents, and to the condition and clearance of vegetation around the house. Older homes from the town’s early decades commonly used asbestos-cement sheeting in cladding and outbuildings. Dense bushland along Jane Brook also brings termites into subfloors and garden-adjacent timber.

After the 2014 fires, buyers here are right to ask hard questions about how a home is built and protected. Our registered builders check construction materials, bushfire vulnerabilities and timber pest risk together, 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.
