INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Menora’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Menora is a small suburb about 5 km north of the Perth CBD, split off from Mount Lawley when it was officially established in 1954. It takes its name from an old theatre that once stood within its boundaries, and the street layout is famously shaped like a menorah when viewed from above, a nod to the strong Jewish community that has called Menora home ever since. At just 1.2 square kilometres, it’s a tight, established pocket with a high concentration of retirement villages, which is part of why the median age here sits at 57. That mix of 1950s and 60s brick and tile homes alongside newer retirement units gives Menora a housing stock that spans generations.

The three defect categories we see most in Menora homes are ageing roofs, asbestos-cement materials and damp in older brickwork. Original homes from the 1950s and 60s are now well over half a century old, and their roof coverings, flashings and old plumbing are frequently due for attention. Renovations from that era commonly used asbestos-cement sheeting in eaves, carports and old laundries. On the older brick homes we also check for salt damp and blocked weep holes, both common in brickwork this age.

Menora’s mix of original 1950s homes, later additions and retirement units means no two properties here tell quite the same story. Our registered builders read the age of the structure accurately and tell you what genuinely needs fixing, with your report ready within 24 hours.
