Renovating Laundries in Tullamarine Homes
In Tullamarine’s older homes, the laundry is usually a separate room near the back door or off the kitchen, with a single trough and open shelving. Some homes have a laundry in the garage or an enclosed back porch, while units built on subdivided blocks tend to have compact laundry cupboards. Bench space for folding is rare.
Common laundry projects here include replacing old troughs and shelving with built-in cabinetry, adding bench space and hanging rails, stacking the washer and dryer, and improving lighting and exhaust. Some households also want a broom cupboard or room for a second fridge. Hume City Council rarely needs to approve internal laundry work, so the focus is on licensed plumbing, electrics, ventilation and, for units, owners corporation approval.

Before You Start
Planning a Laundry Renovation in Tullamarine
Insulation
Enclosed Porch Laundries
Laundries in enclosed back porches are common in older Tullamarine houses, often with thin walls, louvre windows and a concrete floor that is cold underfoot in winter. Insulating the walls and ceiling, fitting a proper window and sealing the door make the room more comfortable to use. We also check that the porch framing and roof are sound before refitting it.
Storage
Storage for Big Households
Tullamarine’s family homes often have one modest laundry serving a large household. Full-height cupboards for linen and cleaning products, a bench for folding and a hanging rail over the trough keep it tidy. Where the room allows, a tall cupboard can hold the vacuum, ironing board and mop, which frees up space in the hallway.
Ventilation
Exhaust and Condensation
A dryer venting into the room, or a laundry without a window, leaves moisture on walls and ceilings and can lead to mould in a closed-up Tullamarine house during winter. An exhaust fan ducted outside, or a heat pump or condenser dryer, keeps the room dry. We plan the fan position and wiring so it runs whenever the dryer is on.
Layout
A Laundry Beside the Kitchen
Where the laundry opens off the kitchen in a Tullamarine home, combining it with a butler’s pantry, or running one bench along a wider passage, can create a more useful room. Whether it works depends on the wall positions and plumbing. We sketch the options so you can see whether a combined laundry and pantry fits your floor plan.
Plumbing
Replacing Old Taps and Drains
Laundries in 1960s and 1970s Tullamarine homes often have worn stop taps, leaking tap bodies and troughs draining into old pipes. A renovation is the right time to fit new machine taps and replace corroded pipework under the floor or in the wall. Our licensed plumbers carry out the work and provide a compliance certificate when it is finished.

Is a council permit needed for a laundry renovation in Tullamarine?
Hume City Council generally doesn’t require a planning permit for an internal laundry renovation. A building permit may be needed if walls are removed or an enclosed porch is altered structurally. Units with an owners corporation may need approval for plumbing that connects to shared services. We check the requirements for your home before starting.
Can I fit a laundry into a cupboard in my Tullamarine unit?
Usually, yes. Many units on subdivided Tullamarine blocks have a hallway laundry cupboard that can be refitted with a stacked washer and dryer, a slim trough and shelving, depending on its width. Plumbing, drainage and ventilation all need planning. We make sure the doors open fully and that the dryer has proper airflow.
How long does a laundry renovation take?
Timing depends on the scope. A refit on the same layout is much shorter than moving the laundry, enclosing a porch or rebuilding the floor. We give you a written schedule before starting, and in Tullamarine homes with a garage, the machines can often run there temporarily while the new room is built.
Is a laundry upgrade worth doing before selling in Tullamarine?
A tired laundry rarely decides a sale, but leaks, a rusted trough, a broken exhaust fan or water damage near the floor will be noticed by buyers and building inspectors. Fixing those, adding a simple bench and cupboards and painting are usually enough. A full renovation is better suited to owners who will stay in their Tullamarine home for some years.
