Renovating Laundries in Attwood Homes
Most Attwood homes have a separate laundry, usually between the kitchen and garage or near the back door, with a trough, a short bench and an external door. They are reasonably sized but often dated, with original cabinetry, little storage and no room for a dryer, a folding bench or the family’s shoes and bags.
Typical laundry projects here include refitting the room with full-height storage and a long bench, turning the garage entry into a mudroom, setting up stacked or side-by-side appliances with proper venting, and replacing tired taps and troughs. Internal laundry work generally doesn’t need a planning permit from Hume City Council, and plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades.

Before You Start
Planning a Laundry Renovation in Attwood
Storage
Garage Entry Drop Zone
Attwood family homes with a double garage often have the laundry right on the way into the house. Lockers, a bench seat with shoe storage underneath and hooks for bags and coats keep the clutter in one place. We plan it so the washing machine, trough and folding space still work properly as a laundry.
Access
The Path to the Clothesline
Attwood blocks usually have room for a full-size clothesline, so the laundry’s back door matters more than people expect. A wider door, a level path and a small covered landing make carrying heavy baskets easier and safer. We look at the step down from the laundry and whether a small roof over the door is worth adding.
Asbestos
Asbestos in Homes From About 1980
Laundries in Attwood homes built around 1980 may have asbestos cement sheeting in the walls, ceiling or the eaves near the back door. It needs testing before demolition, and larger amounts are removed by a licensed removalist. Homes in the later estates are less likely to contain it, but we check your build year first.
Waterproofing
Water Damage at the Trough
Old troughs and machine hoses in Attwood laundries often leak slowly for years, damaging the floor covering and cabinet bases. A new laundry can include a waterproofed floor, a floor waste where possible and an inset trough with a tiled splashback. We check the floor and wall linings for damage when the old cabinets come out.
Ventilation
Dryer Venting
Many Attwood laundries have a vented dryer on a wall bracket that blows warm, damp air straight into the room. A heat pump dryer stacked over the washer, or an exhaust fan ducted outside, prevents condensation and mould on the ceiling. We plan the power points and ventilation together with the cabinetry layout.

Does an Attwood laundry renovation need a council permit?
Internal laundry work in Attwood rarely needs a planning permit from Hume City Council. A building permit may be needed if walls are moved or the structure is altered. Plumbing and electrical work must be done by licensed trades, and we provide the compliance certificates when the work is finished.
Can my laundry also be a mudroom?
Often, yes. Attwood laundries are generally large enough for a bench, tall cupboards and a section for shoes and bags beside the garage door. Hooks and open cubbies keep it practical for children. We plan separate zones so washing and storage don’t get in each other’s way.
Should I replace the trough or keep it?
If the trough is sound, it can stay. Many older Attwood laundries have a freestanding stainless trough on legs, which can be swapped for an inset trough in a cabinet with a benchtop. That looks neater, adds storage and stops water running down the sides. We discuss the options based on how you use the room.
What laundry updates help before selling an Attwood home?
Buyers of Attwood family homes expect a practical laundry with room for both machines. Fixing leaks, replacing worn cabinets or the trough, adding a bench and overhead storage, and painting usually present it well. A full mudroom fit-out is a nice extra but rarely needed for a sale. Fix any water damage near the floor, as building inspectors look for it.
