The Range Croydon homes often sit on sloping blocks near the foothills, where drainage, retaining walls and subfloor ventilation can make or break a building’s long-term condition.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We look for signs of movement (step cracking, uneven floors, sticking doors) and assess how stormwater is directed away from the house. On The Range Croydon’s sloping blocks, we check subfloor clearance, ventilation and damp indicators that can accelerate timber decay and compromise structural members.
We inspect roof cladding condition, ridge capping, flashings and penetrations, then assess gutters, downpipes and overflow points. In leafy areas of The Range Croydon, blocked gutters and poor discharge points can drive leaks, fascia rot and water entry around eaves and windows.
Where present, we examine retaining walls for lean, cracking, drainage provision and signs of pressure build-up. We also check ground and paving levels relative to the slab or stumps, because incorrect levels can bridge damp-proofing, trap moisture and contribute to rising damp or subfloor dampness.
We assess masonry and cladding for cracking patterns, bulging, separation and damp staining, then check lintels and window frames for movement-related distress. This helps distinguish cosmetic settlement from defects that may indicate footing movement or water ingress.
We inspect bathrooms, laundries and kitchens for moisture symptoms, damaged seals, poor falls, swollen skirtings and mould-prone areas. Renovated wet areas are common, so we focus on workmanship cues that can point to hidden leaks behind tiles or cabinetry.
While a building inspection is non-invasive, we check accessible and visible items such as safety switches presence, exposed wiring concerns, hot water unit condition, pipe supports, and signs of active leaks. We flag defects or risks that warrant follow-up by a licensed electrician or plumber before settlement.

Yes. Sloping blocks can create drainage and subfloor moisture issues that contribute to timber deterioration and movement. During a Building Inspection in The Range Croydon, we look for signs of footing movement, assess surface water run-off paths, check subfloor ventilation where accessible, and note retaining wall or external level concerns that can increase moisture and structural risk.
We inspect roof space and subfloor areas where safe and accessible. In these zones we look for leaks, staining, inadequate ventilation, damaged framing, and signs of moisture that can affect ceilings, insulation and structural timbers. If access is restricted (low clearance, stored items, unsafe entry), we document the limitation and explain what follow-up may be needed.
We assess crack type, location and pattern, and we consider related indicators such as door/window operation, floor levels and wall separation. Many cracks are minor, but some patterns can suggest movement or moisture-related problems. We clearly report what we observed and whether further assessment by an engineer or specialist is recommended before you commit to the purchase.
They can be. Homes in The Range Croydon often have updates completed over different periods, and wet areas are a frequent source of hidden damage when waterproofing or drainage is poor. We check for visible symptoms such as swelling to skirtings, tile drummy sounds where accessible, mould-prone corners, and plumbing leak indicators, then advise what should be investigated further.
A building inspection is visual and non-invasive, so it won’t include destructive testing or certify electrical and plumbing systems. It also doesn’t replace a structural engineering assessment if significant movement is suspected. If we identify elevated risk—such as notable cracking, active leaks, or safety concerns—we’ll recommend the right follow-up trades or reports to protect your purchase decision.
