Your Local Wellington Laundry Renovation Experts
The laundry is usually the hardest-working room per square metre in the house, and the first one to get squeezed out during a renovation budget. Southern specialises in making Wellington laundries work harder — more storage, better ventilation, proper drying, and zero water leaks.

Washing Machine Installation Wellington
A new washing machine needs hot and cold water connections, a drain standpipe, and a dedicated power outlet. Get any of those wrong and you’re cleaning up a flood. We install washers as part of a renovation, as a standalone job, or when you’re bringing in a new appliance.
- New isolation taps and hoses (old hoses are the #1 cause of laundry floods)
- Proper standpipe or floor-waste drain connection
- Anti-vibration levelling
- Water pressure check if it’s a front-loader
- Test run before we leave
Dryer Installation — Vented, Condenser & Heat-Pump
A badly-installed dryer is a mould factory. Wellington’s damp winters mean dryer moisture needs a proper exit — either through an exterior wall duct, or via a condenser / heat-pump dryer that captures water internally.
- Vented dryers — we cut and flash an exterior wall vent to code
- Condenser dryers — plumbed waste option available
- Heat-pump dryers — most energy-efficient, slower cycle, can go anywhere
- Wall-mount brackets for stacking dryer over washer
We also retrofit existing laundries with proper ventilation — an extractor fan plus a humidity-sensor switch means the laundry stays dry when you’re not there.
Small-Space Laundry Design
Most Wellington laundries are small — sometimes just a closet in a hallway. We specialise in making small laundries functional:
- Stacked washer + dryer — halves the floor footprint
- Bi-fold or sliding doors — no door swing into the room
- Wall-mount ironing board — folds flat when not in use
- Pull-out drying rack over the benchtop
- Floor waste drain under the washer — catches any leak before it hits flooring
- Full-height cabinetry to the ceiling — maximise vertical storage
