One crew, one contract, start to finish. Moonee Ponds is a Californian bungalow suburb, mostly solid brick construction, which changes how we plan waterproofing and plumbing runs. We know what we're walking into before we quote.

Solid brick 1920s Californian bungalows, a 2021 heritage amendment that added many streets to the overlay for the first time. We check all of this before we quote, not after.
We say the thing, then stop. No jargon, no runaround. We pick up the phone.
“I relocated interstate with two dogs and never thought a new home could feel like me, but they took me under their wing, kept me updated the whole way, and let me customise everything from the flooring to the kitchen layout. Genuine, passionate, and a pleasure to deal with.”
This catches more homeowners than you'd think. In December 2021, Moonee Valley Council's Amendment C200moon added 57 individual heritage places and 26 new or extended heritage precincts across the municipality, with Moonee Ponds one of the most affected suburbs. A property that had no heritage controls when you bought it may be under the Heritage Overlay now. Internal bathroom renovations are generally unaffected, but we confirm your specific overlay status at the site visit so there are no surprises.
Yes, and it's a large part of what we do in Moonee Ponds. The suburb has a strong concentration of interwar Californian bungalows, typically brick veneer or solid brick construction. This changes how we plan waterproofing, plumbing runs and wall penetrations compared to a timber weatherboard cottage. We assess construction type at the site visit, not after the tiles come off.
A bathroom renovation in Moonee Ponds typically runs $20,000 to $45,000. Standard scope (like-for-like layout, mid-range tiling and fittings) starts at $20,000 to $28,000. Full reconfiguration with layout changes or brick wall penetrations runs $32,000 to $45,000. We give you a written fixed-price quote after a site visit, not an estimate from photos.
A standard bathroom renovation runs 3 to 4 weeks from demolition to handover. If structural brickwork or Moonee Valley Council permit work is involved, allow additional lead time before work begins. We give you a specific start date and handover date in writing before anything starts.
