Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect accessible external timber elements such as fences, sleepers, pergolas, decking and posts for mud leads, hollowing, surface blistering and concealed entry points. These areas are common ‘first contact’ zones where termites can establish before moving into structural timbers.
Where accessible, we check subfloor areas and the full building perimeter for bridging and hidden termite access (including soil build-up, stored materials and garden beds touching the structure). This matters because termites often avoid open air and travel unseen until damage is advanced.
We look for moisture-prone zones around bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, hot water units and external plumbing points, and note conditions that can attract termites. Moisture doesn’t prove termites, but it’s a key driver of activity and helps prioritise repairs that lower risk.
We inspect accessible roof voids and internal timber components for termite workings, borer pinholes, frass, staining and timber softening. Early signs can be subtle, especially behind storage, insulation or in less-used areas of the home.
If we detect timber pest evidence (such as borers), we assess what it suggests about the timber’s age, exposure and moisture history, and whether it’s active or historic. This helps you avoid unnecessary treatments and focus on preventing reoccurrence.
Your report documents evidence, the exact locations checked, and the conditions that increase termite likelihood (for example, timber-to-ground contact or concealed damp zones). We outline practical actions such as repairs, access improvements, monitoring and treatment recommendations if required.

Yes. Termites can travel through soil and along concealed pathways such as fencing lines, garden beds and under paved areas. In Golf Links Estate, lots with established landscaping, timber edging or damp spots around plumbing can still create ideal conditions. A pest inspection checks for active signs and, just as importantly, the risk factors that allow termites to enter unnoticed.
The inspection focuses on termites and other timber pests such as wood borers, plus evidence of conditions that encourage pest activity. We assess accessible areas for damage, workings and signs of infestation, and we document moisture or structural factors that can increase the likelihood of termites becoming established.
Time varies by property size, access and how much external timber and subfloor area is available to inspect. Most inspections take long enough to check the perimeter, accessible interior, roof space (where safe) and key wet areas properly, rather than rushing through high-risk zones.
Clear stored items from walls in the garage and under stairs, unlock side gates, and ensure the manhole to the roof space and any subfloor access points are reachable. If there are garden beds or mulch piled against the house, leave them as-is so we can assess the risk properly and note any bridging or concealed entry points.
A pest inspection is a diagnostic service, not a treatment. If we find evidence of termites or conditions strongly indicating activity, we’ll explain the likely pathways, the urgency, and the next steps to confirm scope and arrange appropriate treatment. We’ll also outline practical changes you can make to reduce the chance of re-infestation.
