INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Roleystone’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Roleystone is a bush and orchard suburb in the Darling Range, in the City of Armadale, about 30 km south-east of the Perth CBD and 8 km north-east of Armadale. Land grants along the upper Canning River date to 1830. Thomas Buckingham set up a sawmill in 1865, the area was subdivided into farmlets for orchards and market gardens in 1902, and in 1905 it was opened up for closer settlement with brochures selling the scenery. Araluen Botanic Park and Araluen Golf Resort are the best-known landmarks. Most homes sit on large blocks, with R5 zoning and 2,000 square metre minimum lots, surrounded by bush and orchards.
The three defect categories we see most in Roleystone homes are bushfire rebuild and compliance issues, timber decay in older cottages, and retaining wall and drainage problems. On 6 February 2011 a fire destroyed 72 homes and damaged 37 here, so how a home is built and protected against bushfire matters. Older cottages and hill homes carry a lot of timber, and under bush canopy with poor ventilation, decay and termites take hold. Steep blocks mean retaining walls, cut and fill, and stormwater that needs somewhere to go.
Hills homes hide a lot: subfloors, roof voids, retaining walls, decks and outbuildings all sit out of sight. Our registered builders inspect every accessible part of the property and tell you what needs fixing now and what can wait. If the home is a post-fire rebuild, we check the finish and compliance as carefully as any new build. You get a plain-English 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 Roleystone Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Roleystone 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 Roleystone’s bush and orchard blocks, our builder-inspectors check eaves, vents and decking against the home’s bushfire setting, then work through subfloors, decks and retaining walls on the slopes.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Roleystone
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.
Roleystone has bush canopy, orchard timbers, timber decks and older timber cottages on damp shaded ground, which is ideal for termites and decay. We check subfloors, roof voids and any timber touching the ground.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Roleystone 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a building and pest inspection in Roleystone cost?

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 Roleystone 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 Roleystone?
Yes. Roleystone homes sit among bushland, orchards and mature trees, and termites and timber decay do well in that setting. Our building and pest inspection covers the house and accessible outbuildings. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Roleystone do you cover?
We cover all of Roleystone (6111) and the suburbs around it, including Martin, Canning Mills, Karragullen, Kelmscott, Bedfordale and Ashendon. We inspect right across the South East & Canning 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 Roleystone?
Check the home’s bushfire setting, including eaves, vents, decking and clearances. Look at retaining walls for leaning and drainage problems. Look under the house and in the roof void for damp, decay and pests. Ask about extensions, decks and outbuildings and whether they were approved. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Roleystone. 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.
Should I inspect a home rebuilt after the 2011 fire in Roleystone?
Yes. A rebuilt home is still a new build, and new builds carry finishing faults, drainage issues and compliance gaps. We check the structure, waterproofing, roof plumbing and bushfire-related construction details so you know what you are buying.
