Renovating Laundries in Bulleen Homes
In Bulleen’s older brick veneer homes, the laundry is usually a separate room near the back door, sometimes doubling as the main route to the backyard and the clothesline. It tends to have a single trough, a bare wall for the washing machine and very little storage. In the townhouses and units built on subdivided blocks, the laundry is more often a cupboard off the kitchen or hallway.
Laundry projects in Bulleen often mean turning a walk-through laundry into a proper mudroom with bench space, overhead cupboards and a place for shoes and bags, stacking appliances where the room is narrow, and replacing old troughs and taps. In townhouses, a European style laundry can sit behind joinery doors. Most laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from Manningham City Council, but plumbing and electrical changes are always done by licensed trades.

Before You Start
What to Plan For in a Bulleen Laundry
Layout
The Walk-Through Laundry
Where the Bulleen laundry is also the way out to the backyard, benches and cupboards have to leave a clear path to the door. Putting joinery along one wall, using sliding cabinet doors and choosing a hard-wearing floor make a walk-through room work. Moving the back door is possible, but it changes the structure, so we check it before designing.
Storage
Mudroom Storage
Families in Bulleen’s larger homes often come and go through the back door with shoes, school bags and garden gear. Tall cupboards, hooks, a bench seat and a shoe drawer in the laundry keep this clutter out of the kitchen. We plan the joinery around the washer and dryer first, so their doors, hoses and power points stay easy to reach.
Drainage
Floor Waste and Leaks
Older Bulleen laundries often have no floor waste, so a burst hose or an overflowing trough soaks the floor and the timber below. Adding a floor waste and waterproofing the room protects the subfloor in older houses on stumps. Our licensed plumbers install the new drainage and issue a plumbing compliance certificate once it is done.
Ventilation
Drying Without the Damp
A vented dryer in a closed Bulleen laundry pushes moisture onto walls and ceilings, which leads to peeling paint and mould. A heat pump or condenser dryer, or a ducted exhaust fan, keeps the room dry. If you prefer to line dry, a covered drying area outside the laundry door makes better use of the backyard in wet weather.
Townhouses
Laundries in Townhouses
In townhouses on Bulleen’s subdivided lots, the laundry is often a cupboard in a hallway or beside the kitchen. Stacking the machines, fitting a slim trough and using doors with ventilation gaps make it more useful. Where the townhouses share an owners corporation, changes to plumbing or external vents may need its approval before work starts.

Laundry Renovations MelbourneDoes a laundry renovation in Bulleen need a permit?
Not usually a planning permit. Replacing joinery, troughs, tiles and appliances inside the house generally does not need planning approval from Manningham City Council. Moving walls or relocating the laundry may need a building permit. Plumbing and electrical changes are done by licensed trades, and compliance certificates are provided when the work is complete.
Can we move the laundry into the garage of our Bulleen house?
Often. Many Bulleen homes have a garage or carport beside the house, and a laundry can be built along one wall if the drain can reach the sewer. The garage floor may need a set-down for the floor waste, and the space needs ventilation and power. A building permit may apply depending on the work. We check levels on site.
What size laundry suits a large household?
For a busy Bulleen household, aim for side-by-side or stacked machines, a deep trough, at least a metre of bench for folding, and a rail for hanging shirts. If the room is small, a linen cupboard nearby takes some of the load. We measure the space and suggest a layout that suits the amount of washing you do each week.
How long does a Bulleen laundry renovation take?
A laundry is usually quicker than a bathroom, but waterproofing, tiling and joinery each need their own slot in the program. Adding a floor waste under a timber floor or moving plumbing takes longer. We give you a written schedule and keep the washing machine connected for as long as we can, so the household keeps running.
Is the laundry worth updating before leasing our Bulleen property?
Tenants and property managers look for a laundry that simply works: hot and cold taps to the machine and trough, a sound floor with a floor waste, and storage for cleaning products. Fixing leaks, fitting a new trough and adding basic cabinetry usually matter more than designer finishes in a Bulleen rental.
