Renovating Laundries in Seddon Homes
In Seddon’s cottages, the laundry often shares a room with the bathroom at the back of the house, or sits in a lean-to or outside shed with an old trough. Townhouses and newer homes tend to have cupboard laundries in a hallway or under the stairs, where a single shelf is often the only storage.
Seddon laundry projects usually involve separating the laundry from the bathroom, moving an outdoor laundry back inside, creating European laundries in joinery to save space, and adding ventilation to protect timber floors and weatherboards. Most internal laundry work doesn’t need a planning permit from the City of Maribyrnong, and our licensed trades handle all plumbing and electrical work.

Before You Start
Planning a Laundry in Seddon
Outdoor
Bringing the Laundry Indoors
Some Seddon cottages still have the washing machine in an old shed, wash house or enclosed back porch. Moving it inside means finding a spot with access to water and drainage, such as the end of a hallway, a rear extension or a cupboard beside the bathroom. We look at where the pipes already run before suggesting a location.
Plumbing
Old Drains Under Cottages
Drainage in older Seddon homes can include clay pipes that have cracked or filled with roots over the years. When a laundry moves, the new waste pipe has to connect to a sound line with enough fall. Our licensed plumbers inspect the existing drains, replace damaged sections where needed and issue a compliance certificate.
Storage
Laundries in Townhouse Cupboards
Seddon townhouses often have a cupboard laundry with a machine, a tiny trough and one shelf. Stacking the washer and dryer frees width for a bench and a slim trough, with cupboards above for detergent and an ironing board slot beside. We measure the machines you have so the joinery fits properly.
Waterproofing
Floors That Can Get Wet
A laundry on the timber floor at the back of a Seddon cottage needs a properly waterproofed floor and, where possible, a floor waste so an overflowing machine does not soak the boards and stumps beneath. We replace the substrate with a sheet floor suited to wet areas and waterproof it before tiling.
Ventilation
Dryer Steam in a Small Room
A vented dryer in a closed Seddon laundry pushes moist air into the house, which can lead to mould on ceilings and swollen weatherboards. A condenser or heat pump dryer avoids that, or a vented dryer can be ducted outside. We add an exhaust fan where the room has no opening window.

Can our Seddon laundry go into a hallway cupboard?
Often, yes. A European laundry behind doors needs a cold and hot water supply, a waste connection with enough fall and a power point, all of which can usually be run along a cottage hallway. The cupboard needs to be deep enough for the machines and have some ventilation. We check the drain position first.
Do I need approval to remove the old wash house in my Seddon yard?
It depends on your property. Demolishing an outbuilding in a Heritage Overlay area may need a planning permit, particularly if it is original or visible from a street or lane. Where no overlay applies, removal is usually simpler, though asbestos testing may still be needed. We check with the City of Maribyrnong before anything comes down.
Is a separate laundry worth it if it shares the bathroom now?
In many Seddon cottages, yes. Separating the two lets the bathroom have a larger shower or a bath and gives the laundry proper bench space and storage. The cost depends mainly on how far the plumbing moves. We show you options that keep the plumbing changes small as well as ones that move the laundry further.
Should the laundry be fixed up before selling or leasing our Seddon home?
A tidy, working laundry is something buyers and tenants notice when they walk through the back of a Seddon cottage. Replacing a rusted trough, fixing leaking taps, adding a bench and a cupboard, and dealing with damp or flaking paint often makes the biggest difference. Moving the laundry indoors from a shed is a bigger job worth weighing against how long you plan to own.
