Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check slab edges, weepholes, expansion joints, pipe penetrations, steps and attached garages for mudding, shelter tubes and bridging that can let termites bypass visible inspection zones.
We inspect accessible roof spaces and structural timbers for borer pin-holes, powdering, galleries, staining and weakened members, then note whether damage appears active or historical.
We focus on bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and adjacent walls/floors to identify moisture conditions that support termite activity and fungal decay, and we link findings to likely sources such as leaks or poor ventilation.
We assess fences, pergolas, landscaping timbers, stored timber and garden beds that touch the building, because these can act as a feeding source and a hidden runway into the structure.
For properties with subfloors, we look for damp soil, inadequate ventilation, timber-to-ground contact and debris that provides termite concealment, and we document access limitations clearly.
Your report highlights where pests are active, where the building is vulnerable, and which repairs or maintenance items reduce risk fastest, supported by annotated photos for easy follow-up.

Termite risk exists across Melbourne, and Notting Hill homes can be vulnerable where gardens, fences and damp areas sit close to the building. We start by checking the perimeter for bridging and entry points at slab edges, weepholes and service penetrations, then move to wet areas for moisture conditions. We also inspect accessible roof and subfloor spaces for timber pest activity and damage patterns.
For townhouses, we inspect accessible internal areas, roof void (if accessible), garage and the external perimeter, paying close attention to tight side passages, shared boundaries and service penetrations. We look for termite indicators, borer activity, timber decay and moisture issues around bathrooms and laundries. We also note limitations where access is restricted, so you know what could not be confirmed.
Yes, we can inspect tenant-occupied properties, but access and visibility matter. We’ll need entry to all rooms, garages and any external yards, and we recommend clearing key zones such as under sinks, along skirting boards and in the garage perimeter before arrival. After the inspection, we provide a report outlining any active activity, risk conditions and practical steps a landlord can action quickly.
Garden beds built up against external walls can cover slab edges and weepholes, creating concealed termite pathways and trapping moisture. Timber fences, sleepers, pergolas and stored firewood can act as food sources and staging points close to the home. During the inspection, we check for timber-to-ground contact, damp zones and bridging, then recommend changes such as clearance, drainage improvements and relocating timber materials.
Our inspection focuses on identifying activity, risk factors and likely access points, then documenting them clearly. If we detect suspected termite activity, we’ll explain the evidence, the urgency, and the next steps so you can engage an appropriate treatment provider quickly. We also outline building and maintenance changes that reduce reinfestation risk, such as addressing moisture sources and removing concealed entry paths.
