Laundry Cabinets In Launceston

Laundry Cabinets Experts

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

A well-planned laundry earns its keep every day, and a custom one turns an awkward corner into proper, hard-wearing storage. We build made-to-measure laundry cabinets for homes right across Launceston and the Tamar Valley, from tight service rooms in heritage properties around Newstead and Trevallyn to full laundries in newer homes at Legana and St Leonards. Every job starts with a free measure-and-quote, then design, workshop build and installation by our own team. We specify HMR (moisture-resistant, not waterproof) board for the wet-area cabinetry, fit quality soft-close hardware and finish with a compliant benchtop that gives you a folding and sorting surface. With no IKEA in Tasmania, a locally built laundry means a genuine fit for the space rather than flat-pack freighted from the mainland. Owner Steve Smith brings more than 12 years to the work.

Launceston Custom Cabinets

Laundry layouts and storage options

Laundries come in every shape here, so we design around the room you have rather than a standard box. In heritage homes around the CBD fringe and Trevallyn, that often means making the most of a narrow service room with clever overhead and tall storage. In established family suburbs such as Kings Meadows, Prospect and Riverside, the brief is usually practical: a good bench for folding, a drop zone for baskets, and room for detergents and cleaning gear behind soft-close doors. Newer homes at Legana and Summerhill often have space for a broom cupboard, a sink cabinet and a run of overhead units. We can plan for front or top-loading machines, a laundry sink and generous bench space over the top.

How we build your laundry

Because a laundry is a wet area, cabinetry near the trough and machines is built from HMR board, which is moisture-resistant rather than waterproof, so it copes better with the routine damp and splashes of a working laundry. Doors can be cost-effective laminate or a step up to timber veneer and 2-pac (polyurethane) finishes that handle the humidity swings of a heated Launceston home. Benchtops over the units are compliant surfaces such as laminate, solid timber or stainless steel, and we do not use engineered or reconstituted stone in line with the national ban. Soft-close hinges and runners are standard so doors and drawers stay quiet. Our own team fits the laundry, and we work in with your plumber for the trough and taps.

Why Launceston homeowners choose us

With more than 12 years across Launceston and the Tamar Valley, Steve Smith has fitted laundries into every kind of local home, from cramped heritage rooms to spacious new-build spaces. You get a fixed, itemised quote after the free measure, so the price is clear before any work begins. The business carries $20 million public liability cover and is fully insured, and we stand behind our workmanship, with manufacturer warranties applying to the hardware and materials. Designing, building and installing in-house means the same team is accountable from first measure to final fit. That is reassuring for a room you rely on daily.

What a laundry costs

As a general guide, a custom laundry fit-out in the Launceston area often falls between $3,000 and $8,000, though a small single run of units can come in lower and a large laundry with extensive cabinetry and a quality benchtop can sit higher. The price depends on the size of the room, the amount of cabinetry, the door finish and the benchtop material. Plumbing and electrical work are separate trades and quoted apart from the joinery. A heritage room that needs careful fitting around existing services can take more time than a square new-build space. We confirm your figure with a fixed, itemised quote after the measure.

Launceston Custom Cabinets

Custom-built versus flat-pack

Flat-pack laundry units come in set sizes, and with no IKEA in Tasmania you are shipping them from the mainland or buying online, then hoping they fit. Laundries are often the very rooms where fixed modules fall short, because they must work around a trough, taps, waste points and machines in a tight footprint. A custom laundry is built to your exact space, so the bench runs the full length it can and the storage lands where you need it. You also choose the finishes and the benchtop rather than accepting a limited range. And a locally built laundry comes with local installation and a local team to call, instead of a flat carton freighted across Bass Strait.

What Our Laundry Cabinets Customers Say About Us

The Process

3 Step Process For Your Laundry Cabinets 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 Laundry Cabinets In Launceston

What board do you use for laundry cabinets?

For the cabinetry near the trough and machines we use HMR board, which stands for high-moisture-resistant. It is designed to cope with the damp and splashes of a working laundry, but it is moisture-resistant rather than waterproof, so we are always honest that no board should be treated as fully waterproof. Keeping spills wiped up and the room ventilated helps any laundry cabinetry last well. We pair the carcasses with your choice of door finish and a compliant benchtop.

Can you update a laundry in an established family suburb like Kings Meadows?

Yes, practical laundry updates in established family suburbs such as Kings Meadows, Prospect, Norwood and Youngtown are everyday work for us. These homes usually want a hard-wearing bench for folding, plenty of behind-door storage for cleaning gear, and a tidy spot for baskets. We measure the existing room, design around your machines and trough, then build and install cabinetry that suits a busy household. The result is a laundry that works harder without needing a full rebuild.

Can you fit a laundry into a tight heritage-home space?

We do this regularly in older homes around Newstead, Trevallyn and the CBD fringe, where the laundry is often a small, awkward service room. Made-to-measure cabinetry lets us use vertical space with tall and overhead units and fit neatly around existing plumbing and uneven period walls. Because everything is built to your dimensions, we can turn a cramped corner into genuinely usable storage. It is a far better outcome than trying to force fixed flat-pack modules into a non-standard space.

Do you include a benchtop over the laundry units?

Yes, a benchtop over the base units gives you a surface for folding and sorting, and most laundries benefit from one. We fit compliant surfaces such as laminate, solid timber or stainless steel, chosen to suit your budget and the look of the room. We do not supply or install engineered or reconstituted stone, which is banned nationally. We will talk through the options at the quote stage so the benchtop matches the rest of your cabinetry.

Is a custom laundry worth it over flat-pack?

In Tasmania it often is, because there is no IKEA here and flat-pack means freighting units from the mainland or ordering online with no guarantee they will fit around your trough and machines. Laundries are tight, service-heavy rooms where fixed module sizes frequently fall short. A custom laundry is built to your exact space, uses the full length of bench available, and is installed locally by our team. You also get a local point of contact afterwards, rather than a carton shipped across Bass Strait.

How much does a custom laundry cost?

As a guide, a custom laundry fit-out in the Launceston area commonly ranges from about $3,000 to $8,000, with small single runs lower and larger laundries higher. The figure depends on the size of the room, the amount of cabinetry, the door finish and the benchtop material, and plumbing and electrical work are priced separately. Every figure is a guide until we measure the room. After the free measure-and-quote we give you a fixed, itemised price so you know exactly what is included.
