Services in Hawthorn 3122
In Hawthorn we renovate bathrooms, kitchens and laundries in houses and apartments, and paint inside and out.
Full bathroom and ensuite renovations for Victorian and Edwardian homes: strip-out, repairs behind the walls, waterproofing to the current standard, tiling and fit-out, with plumbing and electrical by licensed trades.
Bathroom renovationsNew kitchens planned around how you cook and store things: layout, cabinetry, benchtops, splashbacks and appliances, installed in the right order so you’re without a kitchen for as short a time as possible.
Kitchen renovationsLaundries with more bench space and storage, from a full room to a laundry in a cupboard, with the wet areas waterproofed before tiling.
Laundry renovationsInterior and exterior painting for Victorian and Edwardian homes, with the surfaces patched, sanded and primed first. Under a heritage overlay, painting a surface that hasn’t been painted before can need a planning permit, so we check first.
Interior and exterior paintingOversight of your building project, trade coordination and photo reports, so you know where the job stands without being on site.
Building supervisionNew Class 1 homes and villa units built from the slab to handover, plus Class 10a garages, carports and sheds. New homes are built all-electric from 2027, and we plan for that from the start.
New homesTownhouses and dual occupancy on one block, with fire-separated walls between homes. Two or more homes usually need a planning permit from City of Boroondara first.

Hawthorn
The Hawthorns, a bluestone house on Creswick Street, dates from 1845, and Tay Creggan (1892) sits on the Yarra. Glenferrie Road is the main shopping and civic strip.
Six tram routes and two railway stations serve Hawthorn, so many homes are on busy streets where parking and deliveries need planning.

Questions
City of Boroondara, under the Boroondara Planning Scheme. A free VicPlan planning property report shows the zone and overlays for your address, and the council can tell you whether your project needs a planning permit.
We plan deliveries, skip bins and parking before work starts. Placing a skip or materials on the road or footpath can need a council permit, so we check that with the City of Boroondara.
