Whirlybird Installation in Booragoon, Perth
Dave works right across Booragoon and the wider City of Melville. The suburb sits about 11km south of the Perth CBD — close enough that travel is always included in the quoted price, same as everywhere else in the metro.
At about 7km inland, Booragoon feels the Fremantle Doctor as a late-afternoon easing rather than an early-afternoon change. That matters: your roof peaks before the breeze gets here, which is exactly the gap a solar vent fills.
The roof stock in Booragoon is mainly 1970s brick and tile on generous blocks. Seventies homes are the bread and butter of this trade: broad single-storey footprints, tile roofs at a workable pitch, and enough ceiling area that two units almost never cuts it.
They also tend to be the easiest to get right, because the eaves are wide and properly vented. When intake is not the limiting factor, adding extraction produces the result you actually expect.
Inland — late afternoon breeze
Whirlybirds or Solar Vents in Booragoon?
Booragoon is the part of Perth where this question actually has two defensible answers. The breeze gets here, but late — so a turbine does real work from mid-afternoon and very little before it, which is unfortunately when the roof does most of its heating.
Solar changes the timing rather than just the volume. Sun on the panel means the fan is running from mid-morning, so the heat gets pulled out as it builds instead of after it has already soaked into your ceiling. At $750 it costs more up front than a turbine, and on most Booragoon roofs it does noticeably more.
For a smaller home with decent eave venting, three turbines at $950 is still a perfectly reasonable answer. Dave will give you the cheaper recommendation when it is the right one.

From $350 for a single unit supplied and installed. Two units are $650, three are $950, and each unit after that adds $300. Travel to Booragoon 6154 is included and there is no call-out fee.
Large single-storey footprints mean three to four units is typical rather than two. The general rule is one 300mm unit per 50–60m² of ceiling area, adjusted for pitch and how much intake venting the eaves provide. Dave works out the exact number from your details before quoting.
Same-week bookings are usually available in Booragoon. Send an enquiry through the form and Dave will confirm the next slot along with a fixed price.
Yes. Booragoon is roughly 11km south of the CBD, comfortably inside the area Dave covers, and travel is included in the quoted price — a quote in Booragoon costs the same as one anywhere else in the metro.
Not if it is flashed properly. The flashing keeps water out, not the sealant — a unit bedded in silicone will eventually let go. Dave fits new flashing suited to your roof type on every install, which is the difference between a dry ceiling and a callback.
Yes, along with tile. Metal roofs use a purpose-made soaker or flashing fitted under the upper sheet and over the lower one, with matching screws and neoprene washers. On low-pitch Colorbond, placement high on the slope and clear of ridge caps matters more than it does on tile.
