Jolimont’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Jolimont is one of Perth’s smallest suburbs, about 5 km west of the CBD and mostly within the City of Subiaco, with a small northern strip falling under the Town of Cambridge. Jolimont Primary School opened its doors on 9 October 1905 to just 15 students, and the suburb’s older streets grew up steadily around it through the following decades, with real momentum after the Second World War. At its heart sits Jolimont Swamp, part of Mabel Talbot Park and long significant to the Whadjuk Noongar people, while the suburb’s Spearwood Dune sands, which formed around 40,000 years ago, run underneath streets close to Daglish, Shenton Park and Subiaco railway stations, all within easy walking distance.

The three defect categories we see most in Jolimont homes are ageing Federation-era roof structures, asbestos-cement materials from post-war additions, and damp near the old swamp and wetland. Original homes from the early 1900s often still carry their first roof framing, and that needs a proper structural check rather than a glance from the street. Additions and outbuildings from the post-war growth years commonly used asbestos-cement sheeting, which we treat as a given until tested. Blocks close to Jolimont Swamp and Mabel Talbot Park can sit on damper, lower ground, so subfloor ventilation and drainage need particular attention.

Jolimont’s tight, established streets and older housing stock mean plenty of homes here have never had a proper structural review. Our registered builders give you that review honestly, with your report within 24 hours.
