How It Works
1. Consultation & Site Assessment
The process starts with a conversation about what’s working, what isn’t, and what you want to change. A site visit helps assess layout possibilities, structural considerations, and any early constraints before planning begins.
2. Design & Planning
Layouts are developed, materials discussed, and selections refined based on your goals and budget. During this stage, drawings, approvals, and scheduling are prepared so the project is ready to move forward without surprises.
3. Construction & Project Management
Once work begins, demolition, building, trade coordination and finishing tasks like caulking and painting are managed step by step. Licensed trades handle structural work, plumbing, electrical, and finishes while progress is monitored throughout the build.
4. Completion & Handover
Final detailing, inspections, and quality checks take place before handover. You walk through the finished space, ensuring everything is completed as planned and ready for everyday use.

Laundry Renovations That Actually Make Daily Life Easier
A well-designed laundry can quietly make life easier. When there’s enough bench space to fold, proper storage for cleaning supplies, and appliances positioned logically, the room just works. It becomes less of a squeeze and more of a functional utility space.
At Lion Property Solutions, we’ve been renovating homes across Melbourne for 15 years, including St Kilda, Elsternwick, Balaclava, Brighton, Chelsea, Toorak, Elwood, South Yarra, Glen Waverley, Caulfield, Carnegie, Glen Huntly and surrounding suburbs. We’ve worked on everything from tight European-style laundries in apartments to standalone laundry rooms in suburban homes.
A laundry renovation might seem straightforward, but it still involves licensed trades and proper sequencing:
- Plumbing adjustments for sinks, washing machines and drainage
- Electrical upgrades for appliances and GPO positioning
- Waterproofing where required
- Cabinet installation and joinery
- Floor tiling with correct falls toward the waste
A laundry is a technical space and getting the fundamentals right matters.
Smarter Layouts, Better Storage, Materials That Last
A good laundry renovation is about workflow. Where do you drop dirty clothes? Where do you fold? Can you open the washing machine door properly without hitting something?
We look at how the space is being used now and where it’s falling short. Sometimes stacking the washer and dryer frees up an entire wall, other times, extending the benchtop over front-load appliances creates folding space that wasn’t there before.
We often recommend:
- Moisture-resistant cabinetry carcasses
- Durable laminate or stone benchtops
- Deep laundry tubs with practical splashbacks
- Tall cupboards for brooms and cleaning supplies
- Overhead cabinetry to use vertical space
- Non-slip floor tiles with proper drainage
Melbourne’s colder months can create condensation, especially in enclosed laundries. If ventilation is lacking, we’ll usually suggest upgrading the exhaust system as it prevents mould and moisture damage long term.
Also, material choice matters more than people think. Laundries deal with water, heat and detergents constantly and cheaper cabinetry can swell or delaminate over time. We always recommend finishes designed for wet areas so you’re not repairing it again in a few years.
Sometimes the most noticeable improvement is simply better organisation. Pull-out hampers, concealed storage, or even repositioning the sink can make the space feel twice as functional.
A Clear, Step-by-Step Laundry Renovation Process
Our laundry renovation in Melbourne follows a structured process to ensure smooth execution. It typically includes:
- On-site inspection and measurements
- Scope clarification and fixed quotation
- Demolition and inspection of plumbing lines
- Rough-in plumbing and electrical adjustments
- Waterproofing if required
- Cabinet and benchtop installation
- Tiling and final fit-off
Occasionally, once demolition begins, we uncover ageing pipes or drainage issues, particularly in older Melbourne homes. If that happens, we’ll explain what needs to be addressed before moving forward.
If your current laundry feels cramped, outdated or simply inefficient, it might be time to rethink it properly. Contact us at Lion Property Solutions today to book a consultation and plan a laundry renovation in Melbourne that works the way your household actually runs.
