The laundry is the hardest-working room in a Hunter Valley home — and the most neglected when it comes to renovation. No bench space to fold, no overhead storage, a trough in the wrong corner and tiles that hold water against the cabinet base. Belvedere Building & Electrical renovates Hunter Valley laundries properly — custom floor-to-ceiling joinery, new tiling with correct drainage falls, plumbing repositioned where the layout demands it, and electrical by our own in-house licensed electrician. Fixed price, all trades under one roof, proposal within one week.
Most Hunter Valley laundries were designed as afterthoughts — a trough, a washing machine space and whatever tiles were cheapest at the time. The result is a room with no bench space to fold, no overhead storage for detergent and linen, a trough in the wrong corner for how you actually use the room, and floor grout that retains water because the tiling was never laid with a correct drainage fall. A Belvedere laundry renovation fixes every one of those problems — custom joinery designed around your specific room dimensions and usage patterns, new tiling with correct falls, relocated plumbing where the layout demands it, and electrical that meets the demands of modern appliances.
Because Belvedere has licensed plumbing and electrical in-house, a laundry renovation doesn't require coordinating three separate trades on different schedules. We assess, design, demolish and rebuild under one fixed-price contract — joinery, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting all sequenced and managed by our team. Proposal within one week of your free consultation.
Most laundries waste the entire vertical space above appliances. Belvedere designs floor-to-ceiling joinery — overhead cabinets above the washing machine and dryer, a full-width benchtop at the right folding height, and a combination of open shelving and closed storage sized for your household's linen, detergent and laundry supplies. Nothing from a catalogue — every cabinet built to the room's exact dimensions.
The most common laundry problem is plumbing that forces a poor layout — a trough in the corner that blocks the bench, or a washing machine outlet on the wrong wall. Because our plumber is in-house on the same project, we can relocate waste and water supply points as part of the renovation scope — no separate trade to engage or schedule around.
Laundry floor tiling must be laid with a correct fall to the floor waste — water retained under the washing machine or against the base of the cabinet causes long-term moisture damage no re-grouting can fix. Every Belvedere laundry tiling job is laid to the correct drainage fall, with proper waterproofing at the trough area and all wall-to-floor junctions.
Demolition to finished laundry — joinery, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting all managed by Belvedere under one contract.
Full custom laundry joinery designed for your specific room — overhead cabinets above appliance bays, benchtop at the correct folding height, lower cabinets for cleaning products, a laundry trough with cabinet housing, open shelving for linen and a broom closet where space allows. All joinery manufactured to the room's exact dimensions, not adapted from a stock size.
Learn MoreStone, laminate or solid surface benchtop to the full width of the joinery run. Undermount or top-mount laundry trough in your choice of size (45L or 60L) with single or mixer tapware. Trough positioned for optimum workflow — not dictated by where the old one was if the plumbing needs to move. Hot and cold supply connected by our in-house licensed plumber.
Learn MoreFull floor tiling in large format porcelain or ceramic tiles, laid to correct drainage fall with properly set floor waste. Wall tiling to the splashback zone above the trough and benchtop — subway tile, large format rectified or mosaic feature, your choice. All tiling grouted with epoxy or cement grout in the correct colour and sealed where required.
Learn MoreDedicated power circuits for washing machine and dryer where required, updated power points at correct appliance positions, LED lighting upgrade with waterproof fitting over the trough zone, and exhaust fan installation or upgrade for moisture control. All electrical by our in-house licensed electrician — certified and inspected as part of the renovation sign-off.
Learn MoreHot and cold supply to trough and washing machine tap, waste connections from trough and washing machine to the existing sewer line, floor waste reset to correct position if the tiling layout requires it, and plumbing relocation where the existing layout is being changed. All by our in-house licensed plumber — no separate trade to source, schedule or pay separately.
Learn MoreAll walls painted in moisture-resistant washable low-sheen acrylic, ceiling painted, laundry door upgraded or repaired if required, skirting boards reinstated, silicone sealed at all joinery-to-tile junctions, and the room cleaned and handed back ready to use — appliances reconnected in their final positions, on the fixed price agreed at contract.
Learn MoreSix reasons Cessnock, Maitland and Singleton homeowners trust Belvedere to renovate the room every other builder overlooks.
NSW Builder's Licence 329 075C. A laundry renovation involving wet area tiling, licensed plumbing and licensed electrical must be managed by a licensed builder to carry statutory warranty. Belvedere holds the licence, coordinates every trade and provides written home building warranty on the complete renovation scope.
Most laundry renovators work around the existing plumbing because engaging a separate licensed plumber adds cost and scheduling complexity. Belvedere's plumber is in-house — so if the optimal layout requires moving the trough supply, the washing machine waste or the floor waste position, we do it as part of the same project without additional coordination or budget surprise.
A modern laundry with a high-capacity washer and heat pump dryer needs correctly rated dedicated circuits — not an extension from the nearest general power outlet. Our in-house licensed electrician assesses the existing supply, specifies the correct circuit requirements and installs everything to AS/NZS 3000 as part of your renovation scope.
The complete renovation is scoped and priced before demolition begins — joinery, benchtop, trough, tapware, tiling, plumbing, electrical, painting and finishing. The price in your contract is the price at handover. Laundry renovations done piecemeal through separate trades almost always cost more than a fixed-price single contractor managing everything.
We ask the right questions before designing — front-loader or top-loader, stacked dryer or side-by-side, how much linen storage is needed, do you iron in the laundry, is there a clothesline directly accessible from this room? The design reflects how the room is actually used, not what photographs well in a product brochure.
Even for a laundry renovation, you deal directly with Vincent or Clarence from the first consultation to handover. Fast answers on joinery specifications, tile selections and plumbing layout decisions, without a layer of communication between you and the people doing the work.
Five clear steps from free consultation to handing back the keys — typically completed in 5–10 working days on site.

There isn't any job these brothers cannot do! They renovated our Cessnock laundry completely — new floor-to-ceiling joinery, moved the trough to a better position, large format tiles and a dedicated dryer circuit. The laundry functions brilliantly now and the quality far exceeded our expectations. Fixed price, completed on time.
Top quality work from top quality people. Vincent designed the joinery around how we actually use the laundry — the benchtop height is perfect for folding, the overhead cabinets hold everything and the trough is now where it should have always been. Plumbing and electrical handled by their own team with no fuss. Outstanding result.
Our old laundry had no bench, no storage and tiles that held water under the washing machine. Belvedere fixed every single problem — tiling is perfect with the right fall, the joinery is beautifully made and we have more storage than we know what to do with. One price, one builder, everything done properly. Highly recommend.
Clarence relocated our trough from the corner where it blocked everything and redesigned the whole laundry layout. The custom joinery is excellent quality, the large format porcelain tiles are beautiful and the new lighting makes the room feel completely different. All done in under two weeks. Fixed price, superb finish, zero stress.
We had Belvedere renovate our kitchen, bathroom and laundry simultaneously — the coordination was seamless because they have all trades in-house. The laundry is now our favourite room in the house. Full-length benchtop, new stone top, undermount trough, LED lighting and floor-to-ceiling cabinets. Better than a showroom and more practical than anything we've seen.
Professional from consultation to handover. Vincent asked exactly the right questions about how we use the laundry before designing anything — the result is perfectly suited to our household. The tiling is flawless, the joinery built to last and the plumbing was moved exactly where needed without any drama. Fixed price. Perfect result.
The most common questions Hunter Valley homeowners ask before renovating their laundry with Belvedere.
Ask Us DirectlyA laundry renovation in the Hunter Valley typically costs $8,000–$22,000 depending on scope. A basic renovation — new joinery, new trough and tapware, new floor tiles and paint — typically costs $8,000–$12,000. A full renovation — custom floor-to-ceiling joinery, stone benchtop, new wall and floor tiling, plumbing relocation, electrical upgrade and exhaust fan — typically costs $13,000–$22,000. Renovating the laundry simultaneously with a kitchen or bathroom reduces cost per room by 15–20% through shared mobilisation, plastering and painting.

In almost all cases, a laundry renovation in an existing Hunter Valley home does not require council approval — it is classified as exempt development under NSW planning legislation. Licensed plumbing and electrical are required by law regardless of planning approval, and are included in every Belvedere renovation scope. If the renovation involves structural changes — removing a wall, adding a window opening or altering the building envelope — a building inspection and sign-off is required, and we identify and manage this at the consultation stage.
Yes — and this is one of the key advantages of using Belvedere. Plumbing relocation — moving the trough supply and waste, repositioning the washing machine outlet or resetting the floor waste — is included in our scope where the optimal design requires it. We assess feasibility at the consultation visit and include it in the fixed-price proposal. Relocations within the same room on the same floor are straightforward for our in-house plumber and almost always achievable within the renovation budget.
A standard laundry renovation with Belvedere is typically completed in 5–10 working days on site. A renovation without plumbing relocation (new joinery, tiles, trough in same position, electrical) typically takes 5–7 working days. A renovation with plumbing relocation and full tiling adds 2–3 days. Joinery is manufactured off-site during the 2–4 week lead time between contract and construction start. From contract signing to finished laundry is typically 3–5 weeks total.
In almost every case, yes — renovating the laundry simultaneously with a kitchen or bathroom renovation saves 15–20% per room compared to doing them separately. The savings come from shared mobilisation, shared plastering and painting, and shared plumbing and electrical visits. If a kitchen or bathroom renovation is already planned, adding the laundry to the scope at the same time is almost always the most cost-effective decision. We can provide a combined fixed-price quote covering all rooms at the free consultation.
Large format porcelain tiles (600×600mm or 600×1200mm) are our recommended flooring for Hunter Valley laundries — fully waterproof, slip-rated for wet areas, extremely durable and easy to clean. Available in matte, polished or timber-look finishes. Vinyl plank and hybrid flooring suit laundries where there is no floor waste, but are not suitable where a correctly waterproofed floor waste is required. We discuss flooring options at the consultation and provide samples for your selection before anything is ordered.
