Renovating Laundries in Keilor Homes
In Keilor’s 1960s to 1980s brick homes, the laundry is usually a separate room near the back door or off the kitchen, with a stainless trough, a washing machine tap and not much else. In split-level houses it can sit on the lower level or open into the double garage, and storage is usually an afterthought.
Keilor laundry renovations usually replace the old trough with a cabinet-mounted sink, build in bench space and overhead storage, add a stacked washer and dryer or a hanging rail, and improve the door to the yard. Most internal laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from Brimbank City Council, but plumbing and electrical changes are done by licensed trades who supply certificates.

Before You Start
Planning a Laundry Renovation in Keilor
Access
The Laundry as the Garage Entry
In Keilor’s split-level and garage-entry homes, the laundry often doubles as the everyday way in from the car. Hooks for keys and coats, a bench for shopping bags and a hard-wearing floor help it cope with the traffic. We plan door swings and benches so the walkway from the garage to the house stays clear.
Storage
Full-Height Cupboards
Larger Keilor laundries have room for more than a trough and a machine. A wall of full-height cupboards can hold the vacuum, ironing board, cleaning products and spare linen, freeing up hall cupboards. Lifting the machines onto a raised platform with drawers below saves bending. We design the joinery around the size of your appliances.
Plumbing
Moving the Trough on a Slab
On a concrete slab, the trough and washing machine connect to drains set in the floor when the house was built. Moving them across the room means cutting the slab, so most layouts keep the wet wall where it is. Where moving it is worth it, our licensed plumbers relocate the waste and supply a compliance certificate.
Outdoor
Out to the Clothesline
Most Keilor homes have a big backyard with a rotary line, and a door straight out from the laundry saves carrying wet washing through the house. Replacing an old flyscreen door, adding a covered step and a short path to the line makes it easier in winter. On sloping blocks, a level landing at the door helps too.
Waterproofing
Floor Waste and Safe Tray
Older Keilor laundries often have no floor waste, so a burst hose can flood the hallway carpet. A renovation can add one, with the floor graded to it and waterproofed, or at least fit a safe tray under the washing machine. Isolation taps that are easy to reach let you shut off the water quickly if something goes wrong.

Do I need a permit to renovate my laundry in Keilor?
Usually not. Internal laundry work generally needs no planning permit from Brimbank City Council. If the work changes the structure, such as removing a wall to enlarge the room, a building permit may be needed. Plumbing and electrical changes are carried out by licensed trades and certified when the job is complete.
Can I put the laundry in the garage of my Keilor home?
Sometimes. A laundry in the garage needs a drain, hot and cold water, power and ventilation, and the floor may need adjusting. In many Keilor homes the existing laundry is already next to the garage, so extending it slightly is often simpler. We look at the drainage before recommending either option.
Can the laundry be done at the same time as our Keilor kitchen?
Yes, and it often makes sense when the two rooms sit side by side, as they do in many Keilor homes of the 1970s and 1980s. Cabinetry, benchtops and plumbing can be planned together, and trades work on both rooms in one visit. It means a longer stretch of disruption, but fewer rounds of work overall.
Is it worth updating the laundry before I sell or lease my Keilor home?
Laundries in Keilor family homes are usually a decent size, so buyers and tenants notice when they are dated rather than cramped. Replacing a rusted trough with a cabinet and sink, adding overhead storage, fixing dripping taps and laying new flooring are modest jobs that make the room feel cared for. Make sure the external door closes and locks properly too.
