One crew, one contract, start to finish. Yarraville's Victorian and Edwardian cottages sit on century-old timber stumps, and original bathrooms usually predate modern waterproofing entirely. We know what we're walking into before we quote.

Narrow, deep Victorian and Edwardian cottages on century-old timber stumps, original bathrooms with no real waterproofing membrane. Maribyrnong Heritage Overlay on many Village streets. 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, always. Yarraville's Victorian and Edwardian cottages are timber-stumped, and a century of ground movement means the subfloor under an old bathroom is often unlevel, softened by long-term moisture, or both. We inspect it at the site visit so restumping or bearer repairs, if needed, are priced into your fixed-price quote from the start, not found once the tiles come up.
Yes, and it is the majority of what we do in the inner west. Yarraville has a high concentration of Victorian and Edwardian cottages, many in Maribyrnong's Yarraville Village Heritage Overlay. Original bathrooms in these homes predate modern waterproofing membranes, often built with nothing more than tar paper under the tiles. We check what's actually there before we quote, not after we've pulled the tiles off.
Generally no, if the bathroom isn't visible from the street. Maribyrnong's Heritage Overlay in Yarraville Village protects the front-facing character of the home, facade, verandah, roofline and setback. Internal bathroom renovations are typically unaffected. We confirm your specific overlay conditions at the site visit before you commit to anything.
A bathroom renovation in Yarraville 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, custom tiling or subfloor repairs runs $28,000 to $40,000. 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 subfloor repairs, restumping or Maribyrnong 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.
