Custom kitchens, wardrobes and joinery for Launceston - designed, built and installed with over 12 years of local experience

Launceston Custom Cabinets builds made-to-measure storage for homes right across Launceston and the Tamar Valley, from built-in wardrobes and walk-in robes to laundry cabinetry, linen presses, home offices and clever under-stair joinery. Steve Smith and the team have spent 12-plus years fitting storage into everything from tight Victorian and Federation rooms in Newstead and Trevallyn to open, newer floorplans out at Legana and St Leonards. Rather than force a flat-pack box into an awkward heritage nook, we measure your actual space, design around it and build to suit. Every unit is made in our workshop, fitted with quality soft-close hinges and runners, and installed by our own team. Quotes are fixed and itemised, we are fully insured with $20 million public liability, and it starts with a free measure-and-quote.

Launceston Custom Cabinets

Storage options we design and build

Most storage jobs we take on across Launceston fall into a few groups. Built-in wardrobes and walk-in robes are the biggest, with hanging, shelving, drawer banks and shoe storage set out for how you actually pack. Laundry cabinetry is next, where we work benches, tubs, tall broom cupboards and overhead storage into compact rooms. We also build linen presses, pantry and butler's-pantry storage, home-office joinery, media units and under-stair cupboards for older two-storey homes. Garage and mudroom storage suits the newer Tamar Valley builds with more floor to play with. Whatever the room, the layout is drawn for your space rather than pulled off a shelf.

How we build and fit your storage

We start with a free in-home measure so the design matches the room to the millimetre, which matters in period houses where walls are rarely square. Carcasses are built from quality melamine board, with HMR (moisture-resistant, not waterproof) board specified for laundries and other damp-prone spots. Doors and fronts can be laminate, timber veneer or a 2-pac polyurethane finish depending on your budget and the look you want. Drawers and doors run on soft-close hinges and runners as standard, and hardware from makers such as Blum or Hettich is available where you want a recognised name. Everything is made in our Launceston workshop, then installed by our own team, scribed to the walls and adjusted on site. You get one crew from measure to final fit, not a handoff to a subcontractor.

Why Launceston homeowners choose us for storage

Steve Smith has built storage across Launceston and the Tamar Valley for more than 12 years, so awkward heritage rooms and sloping ceilings are familiar ground. We give you a fixed, itemised quote after the measure, so you can see exactly what each part of the job costs. The business is fully insured with $20 million public liability, and we stand behind our workmanship, with manufacturer warranties applying to the hardware and materials we fit. Because we design, build and install in-house, the person who measured your wardrobe is the person accountable for how it fits. We work clean and tidy in occupied homes, which matters when we are retrofitting a robe into a lived-in Newstead or Kings Meadows house. It is a local team you can call, not a freight ticket to the mainland.

What custom storage costs in Launceston

Storage pricing depends on the size of the run, the materials and finish, the hardware and how much internal fit-out you want, so every figure here is a guide only. A straightforward built-in wardrobe with melamine internals and soft-close hardware is usually the entry point, while a full walk-in robe with drawer banks, a 2-pac finish and glass or timber-veneer doors sits well above it. Laundry cabinetry varies with the number of cupboards, the benchtop choice and whether we are working around existing plumbing. Home-office and under-stair joinery is priced on the individual layout. The only way to give you a real number is a free measure-and-quote, after which the price is fixed and itemised. You are then comparing a firm figure against the freight and fit risk of a flat-pack shipped across Bass Strait.

Custom storage vs flat-pack in Tasmania

There is no IKEA in Tasmania, so flat-pack storage here means ordering online or freighting a kit across Bass Strait, then hoping it fits and assembling it yourself. In a newer Legana or Summerhill home with square walls that can work, but it still ties you to standard box sizes and a finish someone else chose. In an older Trevallyn or East Launceston house, standard modules rarely line up with the actual walls, and the gaps and filler panels show. Custom storage is measured and built for your room, uses the material and finish you pick, and is installed and warranted locally. If something needs adjusting, you call us rather than a mainland warehouse. For most heritage and awkward spaces, bespoke is the option that actually fits.

What Our Custom Storage Solutions Customers Say About Us

The Process

3 Step Process For Your Custom Storage Solutions Needs

Free measure, quote and design

It starts with a free in-home consultation where we measure your space, talk through how you want to use it and note any quirks of an older or non-standard room. From there we put together a design and a fixed, itemised quote, so you can see exactly what is included and what it will cost. There is no pressure and no obligation to go ahead.

Built in our local workshop

Once you approve the design, your cabinetry is built to measure in our Launceston workshop. We cut, assemble and finish each piece for your specific room using materials and hardware chosen to suit the job, from cost-effective melamine carcasses to timber veneer and 2-pac doors. Lead times vary with the size and complexity of the project, and we will give you a realistic timeframe before we begin.

Professional install by our own team

When your cabinetry is ready, our own team delivers and installs it, so the people who built it are the ones fitting it in your home. We level, scribe and adjust everything on site for a clean, precise result, then tidy up before we leave. If anything needs a final tweak, we sort it out on the spot.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about our Custom Storage Solutions In Launceston

Can you fit a built-in wardrobe into an old Launceston bedroom?

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in the heritage pockets around Newstead, Trevallyn and East Launceston. Older bedrooms often have out-of-square walls, picture rails and awkward returns, so we measure carefully and scribe the wardrobe to suit rather than forcing a standard box in. We can match or complement existing joinery so the robe reads as part of the room. The free measure-and-quote is the best way to see what will fit.

Do you build walk-in robes for new homes in the Tamar Valley?

We do. Newer builds around Legana, St Leonards and Summerhill usually have the floor space for a full walk-in robe, so we set out hanging, drawers, shelving and shoe storage to suit how you pack. You choose the finish, from practical melamine internals to a 2-pac front on the doors. Everything is made in our Launceston workshop and installed by our own team. A free measure-and-quote gets the layout started.

What is the difference between HMR board and standard board for a laundry?

HMR stands for high-moisture-resistant board, and it copes better with the damp and spills you get in a laundry than standard melamine. It is moisture-resistant, not waterproof, so we still detail cabinets to keep water out and seal exposed edges. For Launceston homes that are heated hard through winter, specifying HMR in wet areas is sensible protection against the humidity swings. We recommend it as standard for laundries, kitchens and vanities.

Can you match new storage to the rest of my house?

Yes. We can work in laminate, timber veneer or a 2-pac polyurethane finish, so we can pick colours and door styles that suit your home, whether that is a period Kings Meadows house or a contemporary Riverside renovation. Bringing new storage into line with existing kitchen or joinery finishes is a routine part of the design. We will show you options at the quote stage. Matching is far easier with custom work than with a fixed flat-pack range.

How long does a storage project take?

It depends on the scope, but most storage jobs run over a matter of weeks from approved design to installation, not days, because everything is built to order in our workshop. A single built-in wardrobe is quicker than a full walk-in robe or a laundry fit-out. We will give you a realistic timeframe with your fixed quote once we have measured. Building locally means no waiting on freight from the mainland.

Do you offer soft-close drawers and doors?

Yes, soft-close hinges and runners are the standard we fit on our storage cabinetry. Where you want a recognised name, hardware from makers such as Blum or Hettich is available, though we fit quality soft-close hardware either way. Manufacturer warranties apply to the hardware we install. It is the kind of detail that is easy to specify on a custom job and often fixed on a flat-pack.
