Windsor is one of the oldest European settlements in Australia. It was settled in the 1790s as Green Hills and renamed Windsor by Governor Macquarie in 1810, and the town centre around Thompson Square still has many colonial and heritage buildings. Around it are post-war homes in South Windsor, estate homes in Bligh Park and McGraths Hill, and rural properties out towards Pitt Town and Wilberforce.
Windsor also sits on the Hawkesbury River floodplain, and parts of the town have flooded badly in recent years. That makes signs of past water damage, timber condition, termites and drainage a big part of every Windsor inspection. Peter has over 18 years of experience inspecting homes across Sydney’s north-west and the Hawkesbury.
Every property is different, but these are the issues that come up most often on our Windsor building and pest inspections.
We look for tide marks, swollen or stained timber, rust, damp and recently replaced linings or flooring. An inspection cannot confirm flood history, so also check council flood information and ask the agent directly.
Windsor has some of the oldest homes in the country. We look at the condition of original materials and the quality of past repairs. If a home is heritage listed, check with council what changes are allowed before you buy.
Older timber homes, sheds and properties near the river carry higher termite risk. We check subfloors, stumps, roof spaces and outbuildings. See our timber pest inspection reports.
Homes that have had water through them can hold moisture in walls, floors and subfloors. We look for mould and damp and check moisture levels where we have access. See our mould inspections.
Many South Windsor homes are post-war fibro or brick. We check for cracking, timber rot and damp, and note fibro that may contain asbestos. See our asbestos inspections.
Properties towards Pitt Town and Wilberforce often have sheds, granny flats and other outbuildings. Let us know what you want included when you book.
Whether you are buying, selling or building in Windsor, these are the inspections local clients book with us most.

Selling in Windsor? A pre-sale report lets you fix issues or disclose them upfront, so there are fewer surprises once buyers start their own checks. Learn about pre-sale inspections.
Planning to renovate an older home? An asbestos inspection identifies materials that may contain asbestos before any work starts. Learn about asbestos inspections.
Building or rebuilding in Windsor? We inspect at key construction stages and before handover, so defects are picked up while the builder is still on site. See construction stage inspections.
Building or renovating next to an older Windsor home? A dilapidation report records the condition of neighbouring properties before work starts. Learn about dilapidation reports.
