Renovating Laundries in Huntingdale Homes
In Huntingdale’s postwar homes the laundry is usually a small room at the back of the house, often near the back door and clothesline with an original trough and few cupboards. Some laundries sit in a garage or carport area, and units and townhouses commonly have a laundry cupboard or a narrow room off the kitchen.
Common laundry projects here include replacing old troughs with benchtops and inset sinks, adding tall and overhead storage, stacking appliances in tight spaces, and bringing garage laundries inside during larger projects, with better lighting and an exhaust fan. Most internal laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from the City of Monash, and every plumbing and electrical change is done by licensed trades.

Before You Start
Planning a Laundry Renovation in Huntingdale
Layout
Garage and Carport Laundries
A laundry in the garage or carport of a Huntingdale home is cold, exposed and awkward to use in winter. Moving it inside, or enclosing and insulating the space properly, makes it far more usable. Any new room needs the right drainage, ventilation and possibly a building permit, so we plan the move alongside any other work.
Materials
From Trough to Benchtop
Original stand-alone troughs in Huntingdale laundries leave little room to sort or fold clothes. A benchtop with an inset stainless or ceramic sink, cupboards underneath and a tiled or glass splashback is easier to keep clean. We choose moisture-resistant boards for the cabinetry so it lasts in a room that regularly gets wet.
Storage
Stacking in Narrow Rooms
Narrow laundries off the kitchen in Huntingdale units often fit only one machine beside a trough. Stacking the washer and dryer frees floor space for a tall cupboard for the vacuum, mop and ironing board. We check the dryer type and fit a proper stacking kit so the machines stay stable when the washer spins.
Ventilation
Lighting and Exhaust
Huntingdale laundries at the back of the house often have one small window and a single ceiling light. An LED ceiling light, task lighting under the overhead cupboards and an exhaust fan vented outside make the room brighter and drier. Our licensed electricians install and certify the new lighting and fan.
Drainage
Falls Toward the Back Door
Laundries near the back door and clothesline in Huntingdale homes sometimes have a floor that drains toward the house rather than out. Adding a floor waste, correcting the falls and sealing the threshold help protect the timber floors next door. Our licensed plumbers handle the drainage work and provide a compliance certificate.

Can a Huntingdale garage laundry be brought inside?
Usually, if there is space near existing plumbing, such as beside the kitchen or bathroom. The new laundry needs water, drainage and ventilation, and pipes run more easily under a timber floor than through a slab. We look at the options during a site visit and include all of the plumbing in the written quote.
What laundry works in a small Huntingdale unit?
A European laundry in a cupboard, with stacked machines and a compact sink, suits most Huntingdale units. If the unit is part of an owners corporation, plumbing or dryer venting changes may need its consent. We measure the space, check the ceiling height for stacking and suggest appliances that fit before any cabinetry is ordered.
How long does a laundry renovation take in Huntingdale?
A straightforward laundry refit on the same layout is one of the quicker renovations, with the machines out of use for a short period. Moving a garage laundry inside or adding a floor waste takes longer because of the extra plumbing and tiling. We give you a written schedule so you can plan the washing around it.
Our Huntingdale property is about to be leased. Does the laundry need work?
Check that the taps, trough and washing machine connections don’t leak, the drain flows freely and the room is ventilated. A garage laundry in a Huntingdale home may simply need a tidy, better lighting and a sealed floor rather than a move inside. Replacing a corroded trough and adding a shelf for detergents is usually worthwhile before tenants arrive.
