What’s included

A complete

laundry renovation,

start to finish.

For Laundry Renovations Kensington, we first map the washer, dryer, tub, doors and current service points. The brief should cover a second storage zone so overflow supplies do not fill the worktop, and appliance replacement so future machines can fit without rebuilding joinery. A same-footprint refresh and a layout change can then be compared in one written scope.

01 · Joinery

Cabinetry & storage.

Cabinetry for a laundry in Kensington can account for under-bench appliance bays. Check that replacement machines can still fit before fixing the cupboard schedule.

02 · Plumbing

Tub & connections.

Check the existing hot, cold and waste routes before deciding whether the tub or washer moves. For a site brief in Kensington, assess washer connection access so isolation points remain reachable; licensed plumbing and WaterMark-certified fixtures remain part of the scope.

03 · Ventilation

Dryer extraction.

The dryer model and available air route decide the ventilation detail. For a brief in Kensington, check stacked appliances so the upper unit has the required clearance before cabinetry is finalised.

04 · Surfaces

Floor & splashback.

Choose the floor, splashback and bench after the wet zones are mapped. In a room in Kensington, review grout and sealant details so water-prone joints are included in the quote; specify cleanable finishes where splashes are likely.

05 · Electrical

Power & lighting.

Appliance outlets, lighting and any exhaust fan belong in the same electrical plan. At the Kensington site check, confirm washer and dryer outlets so leads stay clear of the work surface.

06 · Finish

Final clean & handover.

Before handover, confirm cupboard operation, appliance access, water connections and finishes against the agreed Kensington scope. GPD Group closes recorded defects and provides twelve months of direct aftercare.

Why us

Why Kensington
homeowners brief us
for laundry.

Laundry Renovations Kensington starts with decisions about what can stay and what must move. We consider floor-finish choice alongside a second storage zone before pricing the trades; this keeps the scope tied to the actual room. GPD Group works under a fixed-price contract with a WA-licensed builder (BC104702) and twelve months of direct aftercare.

A WA licensed builder.

BC104702 active since 2023. Builder runs licensed plumbing, electrical and tiling trades under one head contract.

Often combinable.

Stage a laundry renovation alongside a bathroom or kitchen. Same trades, same site visits, lower cost than two separate jobs.

Fixed price. No surprises.

Lump-sum contracts, even at $10k scopes. No hourly-rate creep, no “we hit something unexpected” phone calls.

Twelve months aftercare.

Direct aftercare line for twelve months from handover. Same as a $300,000 refurbishment. No tier of service.

Layout options

Three Kensington
laundry layouts.

Laundry Renovations Kensington can mean a separate utility room, a pantry combination or an enclosed cupboard. The Australian Bureau of Statistics recorded 1,337 separate houses among 1,632 occupied private dwellings in Kensington in 2021. That local mix informs the questions we ask, while the actual room still determines the design. We compare appliance clearances, plumbing and ventilation before recommending a layout.

01 — Standalone

Dedicated laundry room.

For a dedicated room in Kensington, allow a usable path between the tub, machine and bench. Plan the door swing so cupboards still open fully, then test cupboard doors while open.

Typical · $15,000–$25,000

02 — Butler’s combo

Combined butler & laundry.

A shared laundry and pantry needs two clear zones. In a design for Kensington, review food and detergent separation so supplies do not share the same cupboard; keep food, detergents and wet work apart.

Typical · $20,000–$35,000

03 — European

Cupboard laundry.

A cupboard laundry can work where floor space is limited, provided the machines can ventilate and be serviced. For a home in Kensington, test lint-filter access so routine cleaning is practical before the doors and shelves are ordered.

Typical · $10,000–$18,000

Common questions

Laundry renovations
Kensington —
the questions we
get.

For Laundry Renovations Kensington, a useful first brief includes room dimensions, appliance sizes, wall-cabinet reach and linen storage. The answers below explain how GPD Group moves from those details to a practical scope.

One week for a cupboard laundry. One to two weeks for a standalone or butler’s pantry combination. Add 2–3 weeks lead-time for cabinetry. If staged with a bathroom renovation, the laundry typically rides on the same programme without adding much duration.

Yes, and we’d encourage it. The wet-area trades (plumber, tiler, waterproofer) are already on site for a bathroom renovation. Adding the laundry to the same programme typically saves 15–25% versus two separate jobs.

Vented dryers must duct outside (a building requirement). Condenser dryers don’t strictly need ducting but are still better with extraction in a cupboard or small laundry. We’ll specify the right ducting route at the brief stage based on your dryer type and layout.

A combined room that handles both kitchen overflow (pantry, prep bench, second sink) and laundry function (washer, dryer, tub). Common in modern Perth homes, since it keeps the main kitchen visually clean and centralises wet-area infrastructure.

No. Internal laundry renovations stay within the existing footprint and don’t require council approval. Approval is only needed if you’re moving the laundry to a new room (which involves new plumbing routes through the structure) or extending the building.
