What Our Clients Say
5.0 out of 5 stars, based on 25 reviews
Bathroom Renovation: broken pipe, no stress
“I contacted Smarter Home Renovations as my bathroom in Avondale Heights required a renovation due to a broken pipe within the slab. Tony was so helpful and was prompt to coordinate a quote. The communication between himself, the real estate and tenant was outstanding. Tony sent photos of the renovation through each stage as I was interstate. The bathroom was kept clean and safe during the entire renovation. The renovation looks modern and neat, the broken pipe fixed, as it should have been plumbed in the first place! Thank you Tony and your team of tradies.”

Nothing was too much trouble and he was very patient with all our questions and provided great advice on the design and installation. The workmanship was of high quality and the quote was highly competitive. Highly recommend Tony and his team!”

Renovating Laundries in Avondale Heights Homes
In Avondale Heights homes the laundry is often on the lower level or beside the garage, sometimes alongside a second kitchen or cellar, rather than near the bedrooms. These laundries are usually roomy but dated, with old troughs, exposed pipes and limited storage, while newer units and townhouses tend to have cupboard laundries.
Avondale Heights laundry projects include refitting lower-level laundries with storage and bench space, relocating the laundry closer to the bedrooms during a renovation, combining laundry and mudroom near the garage, and building cupboard laundries in units. Most internal laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from the City of Moonee Valley, and plumbing work is done by licensed trades.

Before You Start
What to Plan For in an Avondale Heights Laundry
Access
Carrying Baskets Up and Down
In split-level and two-storey Avondale Heights homes, the laundry is often a flight of stairs away from the bedrooms. Some owners keep it downstairs but add a linen chute or better storage, while others move it closer to the bedrooms. We look at where water and drainage can reach before suggesting a new location.
Plumbing
Moving the Laundry Upstairs
Relocating a laundry to the upper level of an Avondale Heights home means running water and waste pipes to a new spot, often through a wall cavity or beside an existing bathroom. The floor needs waterproofing and a safe tray or floor waste. Our licensed plumbers plan the route and issue a compliance certificate.
Layout
Laundry and Mudroom by the Garage
Where an Avondale Heights laundry sits beside the garage, it can double as an entry for shoes, bags and sports gear. A bench, hooks, a tall cupboard and a tap for rinsing make it work for busy households. We plan the space so the walkway from the garage to the house stays clear.
Drainage
Damp in Lower Levels
Avondale Heights laundries on a lower level built into the slope can suffer from damp walls or water seeping in during heavy rain. Before fitting new cabinetry, we check for moisture, the condition of the external drainage and any waterproofing to retaining walls. Fixing the cause protects the new laundry.
Storage
Generous Cabinetry
Laundries in Avondale Heights homes are often larger than in newer houses, which leaves room for full-height cupboards, a long bench for folding and a hanging rail. We plan the joinery around the machines, the trough and the door swing so every wall is used well.

Can we move the laundry closer to the bedrooms?
Often, yes. In Avondale Heights homes the laundry can move near an upstairs bathroom or into a hallway cupboard, as long as water and drainage can reach it. We look at the existing plumbing and structure, then show you options and what each involves.
What can we do with a big old laundry on the lower level?
In many Avondale Heights homes it can become a practical laundry with storage, a folding bench and a drying rail, or part of it can be turned into a mudroom, storage room or second shower. We look at damp, ventilation and lighting, which matter more on a lower floor.
Does a laundry renovation in Avondale Heights need a permit?
Most internal laundry work does not need a planning permit from the City of Moonee Valley. Structural changes may need a building permit. All plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades with compliance certificates, and we waterproof the floor and wet walls.
Should we update the laundry before selling our Avondale Heights home?
Buyers notice dated laundries, especially large ones on the lower level with old troughs and exposed pipes. Replacing the trough and taps, adding cupboards and a bench, and painting can lift the room without a major renovation. Fixing any damp issues first is important so the room looks and feels sound.
