Some of Melbourne's oldest residential buildings, pre-1870 maritime-era cottages, extensive Hobsons Bay heritage overlays. 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.”
Yes, and it's exactly why we don't quote from a template. Williamstown was Melbourne's original port, and some of its houses, particularly around the old maritime precincts near James Street, date from before 1870, among the oldest residential buildings in Melbourne. Original bathrooms in homes this old predate any concept of a modern waterproofing membrane. We assess your specific home's age and construction at the site visit, before we quote.
Most standard, internal bathroom renovations in Williamstown do not require a planning permit, though waterproofing and plumbing work must comply with Victorian Building Authority standards regardless. Williamstown has extensive Hobsons Bay heritage overlays, particularly around the historic port precincts, so external changes on a heritage-listed property will likely need a permit. We identify this during the site visit.
Yes, and it's a large part of what we do in Hobsons Bay. Williamstown grew as Melbourne's port from the 1850s, and many of its early homes were built for people connected to the maritime industry. We know what's involved before we quote, not after we've pulled the tiles off.
A bathroom renovation in Williamstown 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.
