Quakers Hill grew mainly from the 1970s through to the 1990s, with brick and tile family homes spreading out from the area around the station, and newer estates added on its northern side in the 2000s. Today it is a mix of established family homes, newer builds, duplexes and townhouses.
Most of the suburb sits on reactive clay, so cracking and drainage come up often. Older homes also need checks for ageing roofs, termites and the quality of past additions, while newer homes are checked for wear in wet areas and workmanship. Peter is based right next door in Stanhope Gardens and has over 18 years of experience inspecting homes across Sydney’s north-west.
Every property is different, but these are the issues that come up most often on our Quakers Hill building and pest inspections.
We often see stepped cracks in brickwork from window and door corners, gaps at cornices and doors that stick. We check whether the movement looks minor and settled or ongoing, and tell you if a structural engineer should take a look.
Many homes from the 1970s to 90s still have their original tiled roofs. We check for cracked or slipped tiles, worn pointing, rusted valleys and gutters that overflow.
Homes near creeks, parks and bushland reserves, and those with mulch or garden beds against the walls, carry higher termite risk. See our timber pest inspection reports.
Many Quakers Hill homes have been extended with extra rooms, enclosed patios or granny flats. We check the quality of this work, including waterproofing and drainage.
Showers and bathrooms in homes 20 or more years old often start to leak as waterproofing breaks down. We check for moisture, cracked grout and sealant, and tiles that sound hollow.
Duplexes and knockdown rebuilds are common in the older streets. New homes are not defect free, so a new home inspection before handover is worth doing.
Whether you are buying, selling or building in Quakers Hill, these are the inspections local clients book with us most.
