Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect perimeter walls, fence lines, garden beds, patio edges and any timber-to-ground contact for termite leads, mudding and concealed access routes—common in Windsor blocks with minimal side setbacks.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are assessed for moisture indicators and timber vulnerability around pipework and wall/floor junctions, because leaks and dampness can draw termites and worsen wood decay.
Where a subfloor access exists, we check stumps, bearers, joists and ventilation for termite activity, fungal decay and dampness issues that can accelerate timber pest damage in older Windsor homes.
If accessible, we examine roof timbers for borer holes, termite workings, staining and ventilation issues—problems that can be missed in properties with high ceilings and heritage-style rooflines.
We look for evidence of subterranean termites, borer activity and conditions that promote wood rot, and we document the likely pest type and the areas most at risk so the response is properly targeted.
We pinpoint moisture-prone zones (leaks, poor drainage, condensation hotspots) and record any timber deterioration with clear descriptions, helping you prioritise repairs, monitoring or treatment based on risk.

They can, mainly due to older timbers, subfloor cavities (where present), and renovations that introduce plumbing leaks or conceal vulnerable timber. Tight side boundaries and courtyards can also hide termite entry points along fences and garden beds. A pest inspection focuses on accessible structural timbers, wet areas, perimeter conditions and any signs of current or past activity to assess the real risk for that specific property.
The inspection targets termites first, then other timber pests such as borers, as well as conditions linked to wood decay and moisture damage. We also note visible signs of nuisance pests where relevant (for example, ants or rodents), but the main goal is to identify timber pest activity, damage, and the environmental factors that make a Windsor property more susceptible.
Yes, we can inspect apartments and units. The scope depends on access to common areas, basements, garden beds and building perimeter conditions managed by the owners corporation. We focus on the areas you can control (inside the lot) and document building-related risk factors where visible. For the most complete picture, we may recommend reviewing owners corporation records for any prior termite management or pest issues.
Timber decking, sleepers and planter boxes can create concealed, damp zones and sometimes involve timber-to-ground contact, which termites favour. In Windsor’s compact blocks, these features often sit close to walls and fences, making visual detection harder. During the inspection, we assess these areas for entry pathways, moisture retention, damage to timbers, and whether changes (clearances, drainage, material choices) could reduce risk.
We document the evidence and the locations, explain whether it suggests active termites, possible past activity, or conducive conditions, and outline practical next steps. Depending on what’s found, this may include urgent professional treatment, installing a management system, fixing moisture sources, or arranging further investigation where access is restricted. We also highlight any limitations so you understand what was and wasn’t able to be inspected.
