Ideas

Ways to get more from a small laundry

Most laundries are small, so every bit of space counts. These are common ways to make one work harder.

  • A laundry behind cupboard doors, off a hallway or kitchen
  • A bench over front-loading machines for folding
  • Stacking the dryer above the washer
  • Tall cupboards for brooms, the vacuum and ironing board
  • A hanging rail for clothes to dry or air
  • Pull-out baskets for sorting

How it works

Step by step, no surprises

  1. Measure and plan

    We measure the space, check the plumbing and drainage and plan the layout with you.

  2. Quote

    You choose cabinetry, tub and finishes, and get a written quote and timeline.

  3. Strip-out and rough-in

    In homes built before 1990 we check for asbestos first. Then the old laundry comes out and plumbing and electrical are roughed in.

  4. Waterproof and tile

    The floor and wet areas are waterproofed, then tiled.

  5. Fit-out

    Cabinetry, tub and tapware are installed, then painting and a final clean.

Cost factors

What affects the cost?

We don’t publish one-size-fits-all prices, because two jobs that sound the same can be very different. These are the things that move a quote up or down.

  • Moving the laundry

    Moving it to a new spot means new plumbing and drainage, and sometimes ventilation.

  • Cabinetry and storage

    Tall cupboards, drawers and benchtops add the most to the price, and to the usefulness.

  • Size of the room

    More floor and wall area means more waterproofing and tiling.

  • Tub and finishes

    An inset tub in a benchtop costs more than a freestanding one.

Every job is quoted in writing, so you know the scope and price before work starts.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can’t see your question? Get in touch and we’ll answer it directly.

Does a laundry need waterproofing?

Yes, in parts. Laundries are wet areas under the building code: the floor must be water resistant (and waterproof where there’s a floor waste), and the joint where the tub meets the wall and the tap penetrations must be waterproof. We do this before tiling.

Can you move my laundry somewhere else?

Often, yes, if water supply and drainage can reach the new spot. We check this on the site visit and explain what’s involved.

Can a laundry fit in a cupboard?

Yes. A laundry behind doors, with machines under a bench or stacked, works well in apartments and smaller homes, as long as there’s drainage and ventilation.

General information for Victorian homeowners, checked October 2026. Rules change, so confirm with your building surveyor, council or the Building and Plumbing Commission.
