Frequently Asked Questions
What is a beetle certificate and why would I need one in Edgemead?
A beetle inspection checks a property for timber-destroying insects such as termites and wood-boring beetles like Hylotrupes bajulus, covering the roof structure, door and window frames, and skirting and floors.

What is an electrical compliance certificate (COC) and is it required to sell my house?

Techno-Bugs Central carries these out for sellers and attorneys around Edgemead, with special rates available for property transactions.
