Laundry Cabinets Experts

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

A laundry is the wettest, hardest-working room in any Hastings home, and Port Macquarie Custom Cabinets builds laundry cabinetry specified for exactly that. We design and fit full laundry joinery across Port Macquarie, Wauchope and the Camden Haven villages - base and overhead cabinets, tall broom and utility cupboards, benchtops over the trough, hidden hampers and integrated washer-dryer towers. Because laundries cop constant splashing and, in Port Macquarie's humid coastal climate, plenty of ambient damp, carcasses are built from 16mm to 18mm high-moisture-resistant board with every tap and trough cut-out sealed against water. Owner Steve Smith has more than 12 years on the tools locally, and every job is measured, made and installed by him rather than shipped in as a flat-pack. We use compliant benchtop materials only - laminate, natural stone through licensed stonemasons, porcelain, solid timber or stainless - and never engineered stone. Fully insured to $20 million and holding a NSW Contractors Licence. For a free laundry measure and quote, call Steve on 0485 032 128.

Laundry layouts and storage we build

A well-planned laundry does far more than house a washing machine, and we build the full range for Hastings homes. Base cabinets carry the trough and hide the plumbing, an overbench cupboard run keeps powders and cleaning gear off the floor, and a benchtop across the top gives you a proper folding and sorting surface. Tall broom and utility cupboards store the vacuum, mop, ironing board and bulk supplies behind full-height doors, and stacked washer-and-dryer towers free up floor space in the compact laundries common in Port Macquarie units and beach cottages. We build pull-out and tilt-out hampers so washing is sorted out of sight, drop-zone drawers, hanging rails for drip-drying and pull-out baskets for linen. For coastal homes where the laundry doubles as the back entry off the yard or beach, we design mudroom-style combinations with bench seating, hooks, cubbies and a spot for sandy shoes. Downsizers moving into Lake Cathie and Laurieton villas often want a smaller footprint that still holds everything, so we make every millimetre work with full-extension drawers and adjustable shelving. Whether it is a narrow European-style laundry cupboard or a large walk-through utility room in a new Thrumster build, the joinery is drawn around your appliances, trough and door swings first, so the finished room is genuinely practical rather than just tidy.

Moisture-resistant build for a wet-area room

The laundry is the one room where water is a daily event rather than an accident, and on a coast that averages around 1,417mm of rain a year the ambient humidity never really lets up either. That is why we build laundry carcasses from 16mm to 18mm high-moisture-resistant board and seal every trough, tap and waste cut-out so moisture cannot creep into the panel core. We are upfront that HMR board is moisture-resistant, not waterproof - no cabinet is - so the aim is a substrate and sealed edge that handle constant damp far better than standard particle board. Edges are finished with heat-sealed laminated edge-banding, boxes are glued, dowelled and clamped square, and drawers run on full-extension soft-close runners rated to around 40kg. In the older fibro and weatherboard cottages around Wauchope and Telegraph Point that sit on the low Hastings river flats, we can build raised or removable kickboards, so that in the event of a flood the base can be dried out and the cabinet salvaged rather than written off. Close to the beaches and the estuary we specify corrosion-resistant hinges, runners and fixings that stand up to salt air. Benchtops are chosen for hard wear - a seamless high-pressure laminate or a stainless top over the trough shrugs off bleach and detergent - and, like all our benchtops, they use compliant materials only, never banned engineered stone.

Why Hastings homeowners choose us for laundries

The Hastings valley was opened up for its timber - Wauchope grew as a timber town on the river, and the Timbertown heritage attraction still marks that milling history - so it is fitting that the region is served by makers who work timber and board rather than assemble boxes. Owner Steve Smith has more than 12 years cabinet-making across Port Macquarie and the Hastings, and he measures, builds and installs each laundry himself. A lot of our laundry work is in established homes: the 2021 Census recorded a median age of 47 in Port Macquarie, well above the national figure, and retirees and downsizers renovating older houses frequently find the original laundry is a cramped afterthought with a single tub and no storage. Rethinking that space with full-height cupboards and pull-out storage is one of the highest-value small renovations we do. In the rural homes and acreage around Wauchope, Kew and Telegraph Point, the laundry also doubles as a boot room and utility space, so hard-wearing, practical joinery matters more than show. We are fully insured with $20 million public liability cover and hold a current NSW Contractors Licence, and because we are based on the Mid North Coast, any adjustment or warranty question is handled locally and quickly, not passed to a call centre. It is the kind of local backup a room used every day deserves.

What a custom laundry costs

Laundries are smaller than kitchens, so they are one of the more affordable ways to add real function and storage, but every quote is drawn from your own measurements and the figures below are indicative guides only. A compact laundry with a base cabinet, a benchtop over the trough and a single overhead or broom cupboard, in laminate, typically falls in the region of $2,500 to $4,500 supplied and installed. A mid-sized laundry with a full run of base and overhead cabinets, a tall utility tower, soft-close drawers and a durable benchtop generally runs around $5,000 to $8,000. A large walk-through laundry, or a laundry-and-mudroom combination in a bigger Thrumster or Sancrox home with extra cabinetry, hampers and a premium benchtop, can sit from $9,000 upwards. The main cost drivers are the amount of cabinetry, the benchtop material and the number of drawers versus fixed shelves. Because engineered stone is banned, any stone benchtop is supplied in a compliant surface - natural stone through licensed stonemasons, porcelain or sintered stone - while laminate and stainless remain the most practical and economical laundry tops. You get a fixed written quote after measuring, and we are happy to phase the work or trim the specification to suit your budget.

Port Macquarie Custom Cabinets

Custom laundry or flat-pack?

Flat-pack laundry cabinets are sold locally through Bunnings Kaboodle, and they suit a simple, square room on a tight budget - but they come in fixed cabinet widths, so in a real laundry full of plumbing they rarely land neatly. A laundry is riddled with penetrations - trough waste, hot and cold taps, the washing-machine outlets, sometimes a hot-water unit - and custom cabinetry lets us scribe panels around every one of them and cut the benchtop openings to the millimetre, where a flat-pack box leaves you filling gaps or notching with a jigsaw. If you had your heart set on IKEA, there is no store within reach: the nearest is IKEA Tempe in Sydney, about 391km and roughly four and a half hours south down the M1, so it is either a long round trip or freight delivery and self-assembly, with the warranty sitting hundreds of kilometres away. With a locally made laundry you get the substrate and hardware specified for a wet coastal room, a benchtop in a compliant material, and one local maker who measures, builds, installs and stands behind the job. For a room used every single day, that fit and that local backup are worth far more than a flat-pack saving.

The Process

3 Step Process For Your Laundry Cabinets Needs

Consult & Measure On Site

It starts with a conversation and a free on-site measure anywhere across Port Macquarie and the Hastings. We check the room for out-of-square walls, floor fall, plumbing and power, and assess its moisture and salt exposure, so the design is grounded in your actual space rather than a standard module. Bring your ideas, photos or plans and we will talk through what is realistic for your home and budget.

Design & Written Quote

From those measurements we draw your cabinetry and give you a clear, itemised written quote covering door style, finish, hardware and a compliant benchtop, with a realistic timeline. Nothing is hidden and there is no obligation. We help you weigh options, from laminate versus natural stone to slab versus Shaker doors, so you can make a confident decision before anything is built.

Make & Install Locally

Once you approve and pay a deposit, your cabinets are made to order in our local workshop, boxes glued and dowelled square with edges heat-sealed. We book install to suit your build or renovation program, scribe and pack cabinetry level to about 2mm, then coordinate benchtop templating and trades. You end up with joinery genuinely made for your home, backed locally rather than freighted in a box.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about our Laundry Cabinets In King Creek

Can you fit a laundry into a small or awkward space?

Yes. A lot of Port Macquarie units, villas and older cottages have tiny laundries, and custom cabinetry is the best way to use them fully. We can build a narrow European-style stacked washer-and-dryer tower with storage around it, scribe cabinetry into an odd nook, and add pull-out and full-height storage so even a small room holds everything you need.

What benchtop is best for a laundry?

For a hard-working wet-area room, a seamless high-pressure laminate or a stainless-steel top is usually the most practical and economical choice, as both handle bleach, detergent and constant water well. If you want stone, we supply compliant options only - natural stone through licensed stonemasons, porcelain or sintered stone - and never banned engineered stone.

Do you build laundries in flood-prone areas?

Yes. For homes on the low Hastings and Camden Haven river flats around Wauchope and Telegraph Point, we can build raised or removable kickboards so that if water does get in, the cabinet base can be dried out and salvaged rather than replaced. We also build the carcasses from moisture-resistant board and seal the cut-outs, though no cabinet is waterproof.

Will you match the laundry to my kitchen?

Yes. Many clients renovate the kitchen and laundry together, or want the laundry to carry the same doors, handles and benchtop for a continuous look through the home. We can match finishes exactly, or deliberately choose a more hard-wearing, practical specification for the laundry while keeping the same colour palette.

Do you install the trough and appliances?

We build the cabinetry to house your washing machine, dryer and trough, and we fit the trough into the benchtop. We coordinate with your plumber and electrician for the final connections. We can supply the trough and tapware or fit units you have chosen, so the finished laundry is ready to use.

Which areas do you cover?

We cover Port Macquarie and the wider Hastings, including Wauchope, Lake Cathie, Laurieton, Bonny Hills, Sancrox, Thrumster, North Haven, Lighthouse Beach, Settlement City, Kew and Telegraph Point. Being local means we measure on site, install ourselves and can return quickly for any adjustment.
