Stoneville’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Stoneville sits about 33 km east of the Perth CBD in the central Perth Hills, part of the Shire of Mundaring. It was named in 1905 after Chief Justice Edward Albert Stone by residents who were developing the district for fruit growing, and it’s stayed a hills community ever since, with a median age of 36 among its roughly 2,500 residents. Stoneville has a hard-won awareness of fire risk: in January 2014, a considerable number of houses here were destroyed by bushfire as part of the wider fire that also hit Mount Helena and Parkerville. More recently, the Shire rejected a large new estate proposal on the suburb’s northern edge in 2019 after studies found the local roads couldn’t handle much more than 70 extra dwellings, a decision the state planning commission upheld in 2020.

The three defect categories we see most in Stoneville homes are bushfire-prone building elements, asbestos-cement materials, and timber pest damage. Given the suburb’s fire history, we look hard at roofing, gutters, eaves and subfloor vents for ember-entry points, and at vegetation clearance around the house. Homes from the early fruit-growing decades through the mid-20th century commonly used asbestos-cement sheeting. Established gardens and surrounding bushland also bring termites into subfloors and timber decks.

After losing homes to fire in 2014, Stoneville buyers have every reason to want a proper look at how a house is built and protected. Our registered builders check the construction, the fire risk and the timber pest exposure together, with your report within 24 hours.
