Australian Standards, State Governments and building authorities recommend that all structures have a standard termite inspection carried out at least once a year, but more often in areas of high termite activity. A professional termite inspection is a comprehensive inspection of your buildings and property and is carried out according to Australian Standards AS 3660.2-2017.

If you are buying a property, a pre-purchase timber pest inspection is a vital part of the purchase decision – it will provide information on whether there are active termites, borers and wood rot in the property, whether there is any existing damage and whether the property is susceptible to attack.
Pre-purchase inspections are carried out according to Australian Standards AS 4349.3-2010. We do not work for real estate companies so you can be assured we are working in your best interest. We welcome you to be on site during the inspection so we can highlight and discuss any issues that may occur. This can be very important, as a pre-purchase inspection is only a visual inspection – we are not allowed to move items, damage or drill walls. Sometimes sellers try to hide activity and if we are suspicious, we will point it out to you.
