Laundry Renovations in Wellington
If you want a laundry renovation in Wellington, we design and build hard-working laundries with moisture-resistant cabinetry, durable benchtops and smart storage, often matched to your kitchen for a seamless look.
What a laundry renovation includes
The laundry is one of the hardest-working rooms in the house and one of the most neglected. A good renovation turns a cramped, cluttered space into an efficient utility room. Our laundry service typically includes:
- Moisture-resistant cabinetry with concealed storage for baskets and supplies
- A durable, easy-clean benchtop for folding and sorting
- A practical laundry tub and quality tapware
- Space planned for the washer and dryer, including stacked or under-bench options
- Overhead or drying rail solutions and hanging space
- Hard-wearing splashback and flooring recommendations
Signs your laundry needs work
- No bench to fold on. Folding on top of the machine is a sign the layout is not working.
- Clutter everywhere. Detergents and baskets on the floor mean storage is inadequate.
- Swollen cabinetry. Moisture damage is common in laundries built with low-grade board.
- Wasted space. Many laundries have room for a scullery function or extra storage that is going unused.

What affects laundry cost
- Cabinetry amount – more storage and full-height units cost more.
- Benchtop material – laminate keeps it economical; stone lifts the finish.
- Plumbing changes – relocating the tub or machine adds plumbing work.
- Combined scope – doing the laundry with your kitchen shares costs and saves money.

Laundries designed for Wellington homes
Wellington's damp, humid climate makes the laundry a moisture hotspot, so cheap cabinetry fails here faster than almost anywhere else in the house. We build laundry cabinetry from moisture-resistant board as standard and specify easy-clean, water-tolerant benchtops and splashbacks. In many Wellington homes the laundry is also underused floor space sitting right behind the kitchen, which makes it the perfect candidate for a combined laundry and scullery. Renovating the two together, matched in finish and built as one project, is one of the smartest and most cost-effective upgrades we recommend to homeowners across the region.
Why choose us for your laundry
Built for moisture
Laundries are wet rooms, so we build in moisture-resistant board as standard. It is the single most important choice for a laundry that still looks good in ten years.
Coordinated with your kitchen
We can match your laundry cabinetry and benchtop to your kitchen for a seamless, considered look throughout the home, all built by the same team.
Laundry and scullery combos
We are specialists at combining laundry and scullery functions into one efficient room, making the most of the space behind your kitchen.

Laundry FAQs
Can you renovate my laundry at the same time as my kitchen?
Yes, and it is the most cost-effective way to do it. Renovating the laundry alongside the kitchen shares design, manufacture and installation, and lets us match cabinetry and benchtops across both rooms.
How much does a laundry renovation cost in Wellington?
Laundry renovations are usually a fraction of a kitchen cost, depending on cabinetry, benchtop, tub and the amount of storage. We provide a fixed-price quote for the exact scope you want.
Can you combine a laundry and scullery?
Absolutely. A combined laundry and scullery is a very efficient use of space in Wellington homes, giving you a single hard-working utility room behind the main kitchen.
What finishes work best in a laundry?
Laundries need moisture-resistant cabinetry and hard-wearing, easy-clean benchtops such as laminate or engineered stone. We specify finishes that cope with water and daily use.
