Scoped services

Services priced after we understand the property.

Pest-proofing inspection

From $275

Priced from $275 depending on the size and complexity of the building envelope. 50% of the on-site inspection fee is credited off any recommended and quoted proofing works you accept.

Pest-proofing works

From $275

Itemised in a written quotation after the inspection, subject to suitability and access — with 50% of the inspection fee credited off the accepted works.

Commercial & specialist inspections

Custom quotation

Depends on floor area, access, plant and the scope agreed in writing.

Pest-proofing rebate

50% of your pest-proofing inspection cost back

Half the on-site pest-proofing inspection fee is credited off any recommended and quoted pest-proofing works you go ahead with. Pest-proofing inspections and works start from $275.

Rebate terms

Inspection services booked alongside a general pest treatment may attract bundled pricing through Accurate Pest Control. Bundled rates are published on the Accurate Pest Control pricing page.

What changes the price

Why a starting price is a starting price.

Property size

Larger floor areas, multiple levels and additional outbuildings take longer to inspect and document.

Dwelling type

Units and townhouses are usually the most economical. Multi-level and rural properties carry more scope.

Age and construction

Older masonry, suspended timber floors and heritage detailing require closer assessment than recent slab-on-ground construction.

Access

A roof void or subfloor that cannot be accessed safely limits what can be inspected and can change the scope agreed.

Location and travel

Distance from the Newcastle base and travel time to regional and rural properties.

Inspection scope

Combining building and timber pest inspections into one visit is more economical than booking them separately.

Discount terms

How the subsequent-inspection discount works.

  • Applies to subsequent pre-purchase pest and building reports only.
  • Available where you do not proceed with the purchase based on the findings of the initial report.
  • The subsequent report must be booked and completed within three months of the first pre-purchase pest and building inspection.
  • The discount does not apply to stand-alone termite, building or pest-proofing services.
  • Offer may be withdrawn or varied at any time before a booking is confirmed in writing.

The discount applies only to eligible combined pre-purchase pest and building inspections. It is not applied automatically to other services, and eligibility is confirmed at the time of booking.
