Renovating Laundries in Pascoe Vale Homes
In Pascoe Vale’s post-war homes the laundry is usually a small room by the back door, often with a concrete trough, an old hot water unit and very little storage. In bungalows it may sit in an enclosed back verandah, and in townhouses it is commonly a cupboard laundry or a corner of the garage.
That shapes most Pascoe Vale laundry renovations: rebuilding a back door laundry with bench space and full-height cupboards, bringing a verandah laundry properly inside the home, stacking appliances to fit townhouse cupboards, and replacing old pipes and drainage. Most internal laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from Merri-bek City Council, and all plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades.

Before You Start
Planning a Laundry in Pascoe Vale
Storage
The Back Door Laundry
In a typical post-war Pascoe Vale home, the laundry doubles as the back entry to the yard, the shed and the clothesline. Planning it as a mud room, with hooks, shoe storage and a bench, keeps the rest of the house cleaner. Full-height cupboards and a wider bench above the machines make a small room much more useful.
Insulation
Enclosed Verandah Laundries
Some older Pascoe Vale houses have the laundry in an enclosed back verandah with a sloping floor, thin walls and no insulation. Bringing it properly inside means levelling the floor, lining and insulating the walls, and adding waterproofing and an exhaust fan. The result is a room that doesn’t freeze in winter or overheat in summer.
Plumbing
Moving the Hot Water Unit
Many 1950s and 1960s homes have a gas storage hot water unit in the laundry. Replacing it with a heat pump outside, or a continuous-flow unit on an external wall, frees floor space for benches and cupboards. Our licensed plumbers handle the connections and provide a plumbing compliance certificate.
Drainage
Old Drains Under Post-war Homes
Drains from the 1950s were often earthenware pipes, which can crack or let tree roots in over time, especially in established Pascoe Vale backyards. If your laundry trough drains slowly or smells, it is worth checking the drain while the laundry is being renovated. Our licensed plumbers can repair or replace sections as needed.
Ventilation
Townhouse and Garage Laundries
Pascoe Vale’s newer townhouses often have a cupboard laundry upstairs or a laundry tucked into the garage. Stacking appliances, adding a slim trough and fitting shelving can make these spaces work. A garage laundry needs a floor waste, proper ventilation and safe power points, all handled by licensed trades.

Laundry Renovations MelbourneCan the laundry go in the garage of my Pascoe Vale townhouse?
Often, yes. A garage laundry needs a water supply, a drain with enough fall, a floor waste and ventilation for the dryer. Where the garage is part of common property, owners corporation approval may be needed. We check the plumbing and the rules before planning the layout.
Is it worth moving the laundry out of the back verandah?
Often it is, especially if you’re renovating the kitchen or extending. A laundry in an enclosed verandah is usually cold, poorly sealed and hard to keep dry. Rebuilding it as part of the house, or relocating it near the kitchen, can make the laundry more comfortable and free the verandah space for something else.
How do I get more storage in a small back door laundry?
Use the height of the room. Stacking the washer and dryer, adding full-height cupboards and fitting shelving above the bench all help. In Pascoe Vale’s post-war laundries, removing an old hot water unit or a bulky concrete trough can also free up a surprising amount of space.
Does a laundry renovation need a permit?
Usually not a planning permit from Merri-bek City Council for internal work. A building permit is generally only needed for structural changes. All plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades, with a plumbing compliance certificate and a Certificate of Electrical Safety issued at the end.
Should the laundry be updated before a Pascoe Vale property is sold or leased?
Laundries in Pascoe Vale’s post-war houses are commonly at the back of the house or in an outbuilding, and many townhouses have a cupboard laundry. Check the drainage, taps and floor for water damage, then add a benchtop and some storage. Buyers and tenants mostly want a clean, functional space. If the home is in a part of Pascoe Vale near the Moonee Ponds Creek, also make sure floor wastes drain properly.
