recommendation on Change laundry unit in a townhouse

Hi all,

We have a townhouse and would like to change the laundry unit to something nicer and have a bench extended to cover the washing machine. We searched a lot but couldn't find anything ready to go. So, I am thinking to get someone to do it for us. Do you have any recommendation on who possibly can help?

Do I need strata approval for this change?

Thanks

 

Just post a picture of the layout,before you start with the quotes ..If it's just a bench job then you may well if you can use a screw gun and measure twice be able to do it yourself..imho..

 

Thanks

It is in the Hills area in NSW

 

Bunnings have some displays of base units and loads of benchtops that can be cut / trimmed to size and you may match with the existing cabinet above - If Ikea then try Ikea. Bunnings can arrange installs. Replace steel tub unit for a underbench cabinet unit that also comes further forward. Cover whole width with benchtop. One issue I see that may be an issue is the bench cant be secured on the cabinet on the right as its not fixed and there is no space for a front leg support. You may need to replace that tall cabinet and take the bench wider.

Some issues to consider include tub size, depth and re-plumbing to waste. Cutouts to bench for water supply and washer power. The drain hose can be installed under bench if the right plumbing is used - Most waste drains come with a bypass eg dishwasher or washing machine connection. New tile / splashback.

 

Don't forget that if you want a bench, you'll need to move the GPO (powerpoint) and tap stops lower to under the bench, or just drill a few large holes in the bench top so you can connect the power and water to your washing machine.

 

Thanks for your responses. Really appricate it.
