Renovating Laundries in Epping Homes
Older Epping homes usually have a separate laundry room near the back door, often still with its original trough and minimal storage. In the newer estates and townhouses the laundry is commonly a narrow room off the garage or a cupboard in a hallway, which can make it hard to fit a dryer, baskets and cleaning gear.
That shapes most of our Epping laundry renovations: replacing old troughs with full benchtops and integrated sinks, stacking or side by side appliance layouts, adding tall cupboards and hanging space, and linking the laundry better with the garage or backyard. Most internal laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from the City of Whittlesea, and every plumbing and electrical change is done by licensed trades.

Before You Start
Planning a Laundry Renovation in Epping
Plumbing
The Back-Door Laundry
In Epping’s older brick veneer homes the laundry is often a small room by the back door, with a concrete or stainless trough and sometimes the hot water service in the corner. Relocating the hot water unit outside, if allowed, can free up space for a bench and storage.
Asbestos
Asbestos in Older Laundries
Laundries in Epping homes built before 1990 sometimes have fibre cement wall or ceiling sheets that may contain asbestos. We check suspect material before demolition, and larger amounts must be removed by a licensed removalist. Allowing for it in your quote keeps the price fixed.
Storage
Narrow Laundries in Newer Homes
In Epping North and Aurora homes the laundry is usually a narrow room off the garage or the kitchen. A continuous benchtop over front loaders, overhead cupboards and a tall broom cupboard are the most useful changes. We measure carefully so doors and machines do not clash.
Drainage
Floor Wastes and Water Damage
Many older Epping laundries have a floor waste that has cracked or sits too high, and some newer ones have none at all. We check the drainage, waterproof the floor and lower walls where needed, and our licensed plumbers provide a compliance certificate when the job is done.
Apartments
Laundries in Units
Epping units and townhouses near High Street often have a laundry cupboard in a hallway or bathroom. Stacking machines and adding a slim trough can make it practical, and a vented or heat pump dryer avoids condensation in a small space. If there is an owners corporation, we check whether any approvals are needed first.

Does a laundry renovation in Epping need council approval?
Generally not. Internal laundry work in Epping usually needs no planning permit from the City of Whittlesea. A building permit may be needed if walls are moved or the laundry is extended. All plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades with compliance certificates.
Can you move the laundry into the bathroom or a cupboard?
Often, yes. In older Epping homes with timber floors, moving drainage is usually more straightforward than in a slab home. Combining the laundry with a renovated bathroom, or moving it to a hallway cupboard, can free up the old room for a pantry or an ensuite.
How long does an Epping laundry renovation take?
Most take about one to two weeks. If asbestos needs removing or the hot water unit is being relocated outside, allow a little longer. We let you know in advance which days your washing machine will be disconnected, so you can plan a trip to the laundromat or a family member’s home.
What is the most useful upgrade for a small laundry?
For most Epping laundries it is a continuous benchtop over front-loading machines with full-height cupboards beside them. That gives folding space, hides cleaning products and keeps the floor clear. An inset sink in the benchtop replaces the old freestanding trough.
How much should I do to the laundry before selling or leasing in Epping?
In Epping’s older brick veneer homes the laundry is usually a separate room near the back door with a metal trough and limited storage. A replacement trough cabinet, benchtop over the machines and fresh paint is often enough to present it well. In the units and townhouses near High Street, laundries are usually cupboards, so focus on the doors, shelving and ventilation. Rental laundries must have hot and cold water connected under Victoria’s rental minimum standards.
