Services in Ivanhoe 3079
In Ivanhoe we renovate bathrooms, kitchens and laundries in established homes, and paint inside and out.
Full bathroom and ensuite renovations for established homes, many from before 1990: 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 established homes, many from before 1990, 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 paintingNew 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 homesOversight of your building project, trade coordination and photo reports, so you know where the job stands without being on site.
Building supervisionTownhouses and dual occupancy on one block, with fire-separated walls between homes. Two or more homes usually need a planning permit from Banyule City Council first.
Townhouse buildsEvery quote is in writing, with the scope, inclusions and payment stages. Our renovation costs guide explains what drives the price.
Ivanhoe
Most buildings in the Upper Heidelberg Road shopping strip date from 1915 to 1940, and heritage-listed homes such as Charterisville and the Macgeorge house show how long the area has been settled.
With the Yarra River and Darebin Creek on two sides, some properties are affected by flooding or environmental overlays. Check before planning an extension towards the water.

Planning questions for Ivanhoe go to Banyule City Council: do I need a building or planning permit?. Building permits are issued by a registered building surveyor.
Questions
Banyule City Council, under the Banyule 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.
An internal bathroom or kitchen renovation usually doesn’t need one. External changes may, especially if a heritage overlay applies. Check your address on VicPlan or ask Banyule City Council.
