Renovating Laundries in Broadmeadows Homes
In Broadmeadows’ original homes the laundry is usually a small room at the back or an enclosed porch, sometimes with little more than a trough and a tap for the washing machine. Newer townhouses tend to have a cupboard laundry, and in many homes the dryer ends up wherever it happens to fit.
Typical laundry projects here include rebuilding small laundries with a proper bench, overhead cupboards and storage, enclosing and insulating old porch laundries, fitting cupboard laundries in townhouses, and replacing old pipes, taps and troughs. Most internal laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from Hume City Council, and all plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades.

Before You Start
Planning a Laundry in Broadmeadows
Structure
Rebuilding Porch Laundries
Many former Housing Commission homes in Broadmeadows had the back porch enclosed for a laundry at some point, sometimes with a light frame, louvres and a floor that slopes. Before refitting one, we check the walls, roof and floor, and may recommend rebuilding it with insulation, a proper window and a waterproofed floor.
Storage
Storage in a Tiny Room
Broadmeadows laundries are often barely big enough for a trough and a washing machine. Overhead cupboards, a bench over a front loader, a slim tall cabinet for the mop and broom, and wall hooks can make a big difference. We plan the storage around the appliances you have now and any you plan to buy.
Asbestos
Asbestos in Laundry Walls
Laundries in older Broadmeadows homes, including enclosed porches, often used fibre cement sheeting, which may contain asbestos if it was installed before 1990. Testing comes first, and any larger quantity is taken out by a licensed removalist. We arrange testing early so the work can go ahead safely and on schedule.
Plumbing
Hot and Cold Water and Drainage
Some original Broadmeadows laundries have only a cold tap for the washing machine, old galvanised pipes or a trough draining to an outside gully. A new laundry can include hot and cold machine taps, new drainage and a floor waste where possible. Our licensed plumbers do the work and provide a compliance certificate when it is finished.
Ventilation
Ventilation in Small Laundries
Small laundries without a window get damp quickly when the dryer runs, and moisture can spread into the kitchen or bathroom next door. An exhaust fan ducted outside, or a heat pump or condenser dryer, keeps condensation off the walls. We plan the fan and power when designing the cabinetry, so the room stays dry all year.

Does a laundry renovation in Broadmeadows need a permit?
Hume City Council rarely requires a planning permit for internal laundry work in Broadmeadows. A building permit may be needed if you are enclosing a porch, removing walls or changing the structure. Licensed plumbers and electricians provide compliance certificates, and townhouses with an owners corporation may need its approval for plumbing changes.
Can the laundry include a second toilet?
In some Broadmeadows homes, the laundry can be reworked to include a toilet and a small basin, which takes pressure off a single bathroom. It depends on the room size, drainage and ventilation. We draw the layout so you can see what fits and what the plumbing work involves before you commit.
Can I fit a laundry into a townhouse cupboard?
Usually. Townhouses on subdivided Broadmeadows blocks often have a laundry cupboard in a hallway or beside the kitchen. Stacking the washer and dryer, adding a slim trough and shelves, and ventilating the cupboard can make it much more useful. We check the width, depth and drainage first.
Is it worth upgrading the laundry before selling a Broadmeadows home?
Buyers will notice a rusty trough, leaking taps or water damage, so fixing those is worthwhile. A simple bench, a few cupboards, new taps and a coat of paint usually present a small Broadmeadows laundry well. A full rebuild of an old porch laundry is worth considering only if the structure itself is in poor condition.
