Chatswood laundries are mostly an apartment problem, and a tight one. The high-rise towers around the station and Victoria Avenue almost always tuck the laundry into a cupboard or a corner of the bathroom, with a stacked washer and dryer, no bench and nowhere to fold or store anything. The established Federation and bungalow homes up around Mowbray Road have the opposite issue, a roomy but dated laundry that has not been touched in decades. We handle both, and getting more out of a small apartment laundry is a particular speciality. We are a family-run joinery based in Liverpool and we cover the Lower North Shore regularly, with 12 years behind us. Because we run one team across cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, you are not chasing five contractors for one small room. We come out, measure the space and check the plumbing and power, and give you a fixed-price quote with no provisional sums buried in it. As a licensed NSW contractor (383725C) we handle the trade and strata side properly, including the waterproofing a laundry needs. Most Chatswood laundries are done in one to three weeks. We build on moisture-resistant substrate, fit a stone or laminate benchtop over the machines, run smart storage and soft-close hardware, and hand back a room that finally earns its space.
We come to your Chatswood home or apartment, measure the laundry and check the plumbing, drainage and power before quoting. You get one fixed price covering cabinetry, benchtop, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting. No provisional sums and no surprise extras mid-job.
We settle the layout, cabinet finishes, benchtop, splashback and where the machines and tub sit, squeezing in storage and a fold space even in a tight apartment cupboard. Once you sign off the design is locked so the team builds to an exact spec.
We strip the old laundry, run the services, waterproof and build on moisture-resistant substrate. One family team means the plumber, sparky, tiler and painter are coordinated by us, and we sort strata access. You get a clear start and finish, usually one to three weeks.
We fit cabinetry and the benchtop, tile the splashback, paint, reconnect the machines and tub, and adjust every soft-close. We protect lifts and common areas, clean up and walk you through it. You can do a load of washing the same day we finish.
Most Chatswood laundry renovations land between $5,000 and $15,000. What moves the figure is the size of the room, whether you choose a stone or laminate benchtop, how much cabinetry you want, and whether we move the plumbing. A tidy refresh of a small apartment laundry cupboard sits at the lower end, while a full redo of a roomy older laundry in a Mowbray Road home with new waterproofing and tiling costs more. We give you one fixed-price quote up front covering cabinetry, benchtop, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, with no provisional sums, so the figure you sign is the figure you pay. Trade-cost fixtures help keep the budget on the parts you see.
Yes, that is one of our most common Lower North Shore jobs. The towers around the station usually tuck the laundry into a cupboard with a stacked washer and dryer and no bench at all. We measure the space and build smart storage above and beside the machines, fit a fold-down or fixed bench where there is room, and tile and waterproof properly. These are strata buildings, so we sort work hours, lift bookings, common-area protection and any owners corporation notice before we start. As a licensed NSW contractor (383725C) we provide the paperwork strata managers ask for to keep approval moving.
Most Chatswood laundries take one to three weeks depending on the size and how much we change, plus any strata access scheduling in an apartment. A small cupboard refresh is at the quick end. A full redo with moved plumbing, fresh waterproofing and retiling takes longer because the waterproofing has to cure before tiling. Because we run one team across every trade, we are not waiting on outside subbies, so the room is not sitting idle between steps. We give you a clear start and finish date up front and coordinate every trade, including booking lift access where it is needed.
We are a family-run joinery, not a franchise, so you deal with the same people from the first measure to the final handover. We are based in Liverpool but cover the Lower North Shore regularly and know the Chatswood towers and older homes well. Twelve years in, we have squeezed real storage and fold space into tiny apartment laundry cupboards and redone roomy older laundries alike. One team covers cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, and we manage strata access for you. You get a fixed-price quote, a one to three week build, soft-close hardware, proper waterproofing, and a licensed NSW contractor (383725C) behind the work.
