Box Hill homes often blend older brick houses with newer townhouse builds—this package targets the common risk areas across both, from floor movement and moisture-related mould to asbestos-era materials and timber pest activity.
11 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess key structural elements for signs of movement, distortion and load-related cracking. In Box Hill, this matters where older homes have been extended or where split-level layouts can place extra load on altered walls and supports.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in Box HillWe identify major defects that affect liveability, water-tightness and the building’s performance. Box Hill buyers often see renovated interiors, so we focus on whether the underlying building work shows signs of shortcuts that can lead to expensive rectification.

The Premium Package is built for that mix, so you can confirm the structure, services and safety items that can change your repair budget quickly. For $699, ACE Building and Pest Inspections completes 11 checks in one visit: major structural and building defects, safety hazards, termite and timber pests, a visual asbestos survey, mould presence, electrical visual inspection, a digital floor level survey, smoke detector placement, electrical polarity testing, and minor defects. Together, these services help you understand why a crack is there, whether moisture is feeding it, and whether the electrical and safety systems match what you’re paying for. You’ll deal with an experienced team from ACE Building and Pest Inspections (Ringwood) who understands Melbourne construction styles and renovation shortcuts. We deliver clear defect explanations and practical next steps, so you can negotiate, plan repairs, or walk away with confidence based on evidence—not assumptions.
Box Hill properties commonly show a patchwork of extensions, room reconfigurations and upgraded services, especially near transport, schools and shopping areas where demand drives renovations. That mix can hide issues like altered drainage around new slabs, uneven floors between old and new sections, older wiring left in place during cosmetic upgrades, and materials from earlier build eras that may contain asbestos. A package that checks structure, moisture indicators, pests and electrical safety together suits how Box Hill homes are actually put together.

We scan for common safety hazards such as unsafe access areas, trip risks, and obvious issues around stairs, balustrades and wet areas. This is especially relevant in Box Hill townhouses where multiple levels and tighter footprints can create hazards that aren’t obvious at inspection time.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in Box HillWe inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and timber pests and conditions that increase risk. In Box Hill, landscaping, subfloor moisture and concealed timber framing in renovations can all create favourable conditions for timber pest activity.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in Box HillWe conduct a visual-only survey to identify materials that commonly contain asbestos and flag suspect areas for further testing. Many Box Hill homes from earlier build periods may include asbestos cement sheeting in eaves, wet areas or external cladding, which impacts renovation plans and costs.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in Box HillWe look for visible mould and moisture indicators that support mould growth. Box Hill properties with updated bathrooms, enclosed subfloors or limited ventilation can show mould in corners, wardrobes and ceiling spaces—often after cosmetic repainting.
Learn more about Mould Presence in Box HillWe perform a visual inspection of accessible electrical components for obvious defects and safety concerns. In Box Hill, partial renovations can leave a mix of old and new fittings, so we check for tell-tale signs of aging infrastructure and non-compliant workmanship.
Learn more about Electrical Visual Inspection in Box HillWe measure floor levels with digital equipment to highlight unevenness and patterns that suggest movement. This is valuable in Box Hill where older timber floors, re-stumping history, or transitions between original homes and new extensions can create noticeable level changes.
Learn more about Digital Floor Level Survey in Box HillWe visually confirm the presence and placement of smoke detectors. In Box Hill, rental-style townhouse layouts and renovated homes can have missing or poorly located alarms—this check helps you identify what needs attention before move-in.
Learn more about Smoke Detectors Assessment in Box HillWe perform electrical polarity testing to detect potentially dangerous wiring issues at accessible outlets. This matters in Box Hill homes where DIY updates or piecemeal upgrades can leave swapped polarity or other hazards that need a licensed electrician to rectify.
Learn more about Electrical Safety Assessment in Box HillWe report on smaller defects that can grow into larger problems, such as early water damage, minor cracking, failing seals and deteriorated finishes. In Box Hill, these items often appear around older windows, external joinery and modified wet areas after quick renovations.
