Renovating Laundries in Westmeadows Homes
In Westmeadows homes, the laundry is usually a separate room near the back door or off the kitchen, often with a single trough, open shelving and a door to the clothesline. Some homes have the laundry in the garage or a small rear room, and storage is often limited to a few shelves above the trough, with nowhere to keep the ironing board or brooms.
Typical laundry projects here include replacing old troughs with built-in sinks and cabinetry, adding bench space and storage, stacking machines, and improving lighting and exhaust. Some owners add a powder room or linen cupboard next to the laundry where space allows. Hume City Council rarely needs to approve internal laundry work, though owners corporation approval may be needed for units.

Before You Start
Planning a New Laundry in Westmeadows
Storage
Broom and Linen Storage
Westmeadows laundries from the 1970s and 80s rarely have a broom cupboard or anywhere to keep the ironing board. A tall cupboard at one end, overhead cabinets to the ceiling and pull-out baskets under the bench make a small room far more practical. We plan the storage around where the door, the trough and the machines sit.
Layout
A Powder Room Beside the Laundry
With only one main bathroom in many Westmeadows homes, a powder room next to the laundry is a useful addition. It can often share the existing water and waste lines. The space may come from part of the laundry or a hallway, and the toilet needs ventilation and a waste connection with enough fall, which we check first.
Plumbing
Laundries in the Garage
Some Westmeadows homes have the laundry in the garage, sharing space with cars and tools. A proper garage laundry needs a floor waste or safe tray, a trough connected to the sewer, insulation against the winter cold and good lighting. If you would rather have it inside, we look at what space the house can spare.
Access
The Door to the Clothesline
Many Westmeadows laundries have an external door straight to the clothesline. A wider door, a level landing outside and a non-slip floor make carrying baskets easier and safer. If the door is replaced, we check the weather seal and the step down to the yard so rain doesn’t blow in under it.
Ventilation
Steam With Nowhere to Go
Older Westmeadows laundries often have no exhaust fan, only a window that stays shut in winter. When clothes are dried inside or a vented dryer runs, moisture builds up on the ceiling and walls. A ducted exhaust fan and a heat pump dryer reduce condensation, and our licensed electricians install the fan and any new circuits.

Can you fit more storage into a small Westmeadows laundry?
Yes. Full-height cabinets, overhead cupboards to the ceiling and stacking the washer and dryer can free up wall and floor space. A pull-out ironing board or a hanging rail over the trough helps with drying. We measure the room and your machines first and design the storage around the trough and door.
Do units in Westmeadows need approval for a laundry renovation?
If your unit has an owners corporation, changes to plumbing, walls or anything affecting common property usually need its approval, and the rules may limit work hours. Replacing cabinets in the same layout may need less. We prepare the drawings and details the owners corporation asks for and coordinate the work around its rules.
Is it worth renovating the laundry before selling our Westmeadows home?
A small laundry with practical storage and no sign of water damage helps a Westmeadows home present well. Replacing a rusted trough, adding a bench and cupboards, painting and fixing leaks are often enough to make the room look cared for. Moving the laundry or adding a powder room are larger projects better suited to owners who are staying.
Can our Westmeadows laundry stay usable during the renovation?
Usually not for the whole job, since the trough and machines need disconnecting while cabinets and tiles go in. We plan the work so the machines are out of action for as short a time as possible, and many owners use a local laundromat or a relative’s machine for those days.
