Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to do my laundry renovation myself?
Doing your own laundry renovation is possible, but not advisable. While painting walls and retiling the floors might be achievable, navigating the plumbing and installing new systems require professional help that laundry renovation companies specialise in. Hiring a professional ensures a high-quality, durable and good-looking space. It also helps you to avoid the headache of having to eventually repair poorly installed pieces.
Why should I renovate my laundry?
Renovating your laundry can give you an opportunity to update systems to save water and power. You can also avoid a build-up of mildew by improving ventilation and light. You can even optimise the space available to you while giving it a more modern look, leading to a more efficient, enjoyable laundry space.
Can I choose my own fixtures and appliances for my laundry?
Absolutely. A good renovation company will guide you through the design process and help you decide what will work best for your laundry. They will also be able to recommend suppliers to you, and might even secure a discounted trade price. Alternatively, you can source your fixtures and appliances independently and have renovators install them for you.
How much does a laundry renovation cost?
This is a difficult question to answer. First, consider the construction of your home. A brick veneer house with timber flooring will be cheaper to renovate than full brick walls with concrete on ground.
Next, ask yourself what kind of laundry renovation you're doing. Will you be making changes to the layout, walls or doors? What level of quality (and expense) will your materials, appliances and additions be? Will your renovator professionally manage the entire project?Is there silica or asbestos in the home, and are plumbing approvals required?
While there's no truly comprehensive answer, a good starting point is to budget $30K to $35K for your laundry.
How can I modernise my laundry?
To achieve a modern-looking laundry, keep an eye out for current trends such as open shelving, white-stone countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and lots of natural light.
You could also modernise your laundry with appliances that are newer and more environmentally friendly. These changes will not only save you money on water and power, but also help keep your home green.
