Norwest is a newer pocket of the Hills, a mix of modern apartments around the business park and town centre and larger family homes in the surrounding streets. The laundries reflect that split. In the apartments the laundry is usually a cupboard off the kitchen or hallway with a stacked washer and dryer crammed in and nowhere to fold or store anything. In the family homes the laundry was built to a developer's budget: a basic cabinet, a stainless tub and a stretch of bare wall that could be doing far more. Either way there is room to make a small space work hard. We are a family-run joinery based in Liverpool, and we have been renovating laundries across the Hills District for 12 years. Because we run one team across cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, you are not chasing five contractors trying to line up dates for a 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 side properly, including the waterproofing that a laundry actually needs. Most Norwest laundries are done in one to three weeks depending on the size and how much we move. We build on moisture-resistant substrate, fit a stone or laminate benchtop over the machines, run plenty of storage and soft-close hardware, and hand back a room that finally works.
We come to your Norwest home, 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 turning up mid-job.
We settle the layout, cabinet finishes, benchtop, splashback and where the machines and tub sit. We plan in proper storage and a fold space, which matters most in a tight apartment laundry. 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. Because it is one family team, the plumber, sparky, tiler and painter are all coordinated by us. You get a clear start date and a realistic finish, usually one to three weeks. In apartments we work to strata access hours.
We fit cabinetry and the benchtop, tile the splashback, paint, reconnect the machines and tub, and adjust every soft-close. We clean up, walk you through it and hand over warranty paperwork. You can do a load of washing the same day we finish.
Most Norwest laundry renovations land between $5,000 and $15,000. What moves the figure is the size of the room, whether you go for a stone or laminate benchtop, how much cabinetry you want, and whether we move the plumbing or keep the machines where they are. A straight refresh in a Norwest apartment laundry sits at the lower end, while a larger family-home laundry with new cabinetry, tiling and a stone benchtop 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.
Most Norwest laundries take one to three weeks depending on the size and how much we change. A simple swap with new cabinetry, benchtop and splashback in an existing footprint is at the quick end. Moving plumbing, redoing the waterproofing and retiling takes longer because the waterproofing has to cure properly before tiling. Because we run one team across plumbing, tiling, electrical and painting, we are not waiting on outside subbies, so the room is not sitting idle between trades. If you are in a Norwest apartment, strata access hours can stretch things slightly. We give you a clear start and finish date up front.
Yes, and it is not optional in a wet area. A laundry sees constant moisture from the machines, the tub and the floor waste, so we build on moisture-resistant substrate and waterproof to the relevant Australian Standard before any tiling goes down. In a Norwest apartment this matters even more because there is a neighbour below, and a leak that gets into the slab is an expensive problem. As a licensed NSW contractor (383725C) we do the waterproofing by the book and document it. Getting this right is what stops mould, rot and strata disputes coming back a couple of years down the track.
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 and travel right across the Hills District, and twelve years in we have renovated cramped apartment laundries around Norwest and larger family-home laundries alike. One team covers cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, so there is no chasing five contractors for one small room. 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.
