“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.”
In Seddon, more likely the whole street than not. Seddon is one of Melbourne's most intact heritage precincts, protected as the Seddon Residential and Commercial Heritage Area (HO9). Some streets have close to 100% of properties identified as heritage-significant, a far higher rate than most other suburbs. Internal bathroom work is usually unaffected by the overlay, but we confirm your specific address status at the site visit rather than assume.
Yes, and it's the majority of what we do here. Seddon consists predominantly of single-storey Victorian workers' cottages and Edwardian terraces, most of them built rapidly after the railway station opened in 1906. Original bathrooms in these homes predate modern waterproofing membranes entirely. We check what's actually there before we quote, not after we've pulled the tiles off.
Most standard, internal bathroom renovations in Seddon do not require a planning permit, though waterproofing and plumbing work must comply with Victorian Building Authority standards regardless. Given how much of the suburb sits inside the HO9 heritage precinct, external changes are likely to need one. We identify this during the site visit.
A bathroom renovation in Seddon typically runs $18,000 to $40,000. Standard scope (like-for-like layout, mid-range tiling and fittings) starts at $18,000 to $25,000. Full reconfiguration with layout changes in an older workers' cottage runs $28,000 to $40,000. We give you a written fixed-price quote after a site visit, not an estimate from photos.
