Renovating Laundries in Craigieburn Homes
In Craigieburn’s estate homes, the laundry is usually a separate room off the garage, kitchen or rear hallway, with a single trough and a small overhead cupboard. It often works as a thoroughfare to the backyard and garage, which makes storage harder. Townhouses tend to have cupboard laundries off the kitchen or hallway.
That shapes most of our Craigieburn laundry renovations: adding full-height cupboards and bench space over front loaders, creating a mudroom feel for the garage entry, improving drainage and ventilation, and fitting concealed laundries in townhouses. Most laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from Hume City Council, but plumbing and electrical changes are completed by licensed trades with compliance certificates.

Before You Start
What to Plan For in a Craigieburn Laundry
Storage
The Garage Walkway Laundry
In many Craigieburn estate homes the laundry sits between the garage and the kitchen, so it doubles as the family’s main entry. Shoes, school bags and shopping all come through it. We plan a clear walkway, a bench over the machines and a tall cupboard or bench seat by the door so it works as a small mudroom.
Ventilation
Drying Clothes in a Cold, Windy Suburb
Craigieburn’s exposed position on the northern plains means strong winds and cold winter mornings, and many estate yards are too small for a big rotary line. A dryer stacked above the washer, a vented or heat pump dryer and an indoor hanging rail make a real difference. We make sure the room has the power and ventilation to suit.
Asbestos
Older Laundries and Asbestos
Laundries in Craigieburn’s 1970s and 80s homes are often in an enclosed back porch or a small room near the back door, sometimes lined with fibre cement sheeting. Homes built before 1990 can contain asbestos, so we check suspect sheeting before demolition and arrange removal by a licensed removalist where needed.
Apartments
Townhouse Cupboard Laundries
Newer Craigieburn townhouses often have a laundry behind bifold doors in a hallway or the kitchen. Space is tight, so a slimline trough, stacked machines and a benchtop with overhead storage are usually the answer. If the townhouse has an owners corporation we check whether any of the work needs its approval.
Drainage
Drainage and Water Damage
Some estate laundries have no floor waste, so a burst hose floods the slab and the adjoining rooms. Where the layout allows, we add a floor waste, waterproof the floor and lower wall, and use quality hoses and taps. All plumbing is done by licensed plumbers with a compliance certificate.

Does a laundry renovation in Craigieburn need a permit?
Usually not. A laundry renovation that stays inside the house generally needs no planning permit from Hume City Council. A building permit may be needed if walls are moved or the room is extended. Plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades who provide compliance certificates.
Can I move my laundry out of the garage walkway?
It is sometimes possible, for example into a cupboard off the hallway or into part of the garage itself. Because Craigieburn homes are on concrete slabs, the cost depends on how far the new drain is from the existing one. We look at the options when we visit and price each one.
How long does a laundry renovation take in Craigieburn?
A typical Craigieburn laundry takes about one to two weeks, depending on cabinetry lead times and whether walls or drains are moved. We keep your washing machine connected for as long as possible and tell you exactly which days it will be out of action.
Can you add more storage to a very small laundry?
Yes. Full-height cabinets either side of the machines, a bench over front loaders and a pull-out basket unit make the most of a narrow estate laundry. In townhouses a stacked washer and dryer can free up enough space for a trough and a small bench.
My Craigieburn laundry is cramped. Should I fix it before selling or leasing?
Many Craigieburn estate homes have a narrow laundry off the garage or a cupboard laundry in a hallway. Buyers with young families notice whether there is room for a washer, dryer and a basket. Adding a benchtop over front loaders, overhead cupboards and better lighting usually helps more than enlarging the room. Check there are no leaks under the trough, and remember a rental laundry must have hot and cold water connected under Victoria’s rental minimum standards.
