Building a Natural Timber bench in Laundry, along with cabinet and cupboards

Job description

Natural Timber Benchtops Tawa, Wellington

Published on 9th July 2025

In our existing laundry space we have our Front Loading Washing Machine on the left, a Super Tub in the middle, and a Front Loading Dryer on the right. Above them we have some small cupboards. What we are wanting to do is remove the Super Tub, and create a central cupboard which covers the plumbing, and a full width Laundry Bench which goes over top of the Washing Machine and Dryer, with a sink in the centre, and mixer tap. We are thinking Natural Timber for this, however may opt for something White also. Above this, we want to replace the small cupbards we have on the wall, with taller ones which may reach the roof, or close to it, offering more storage. To the right, potentially a small hanging area above the bench. To the left of all this is our hot water cupboard, and to the right is the back door and small window (above the dryer). I have a sketch drawn up, however its only a guide as to the idea. These were done a year or more ago. They show drawers under the sink, however likely best to be a cupboard due to the space the sink itself and piping will take up. Room for suggestions, all welcome. Unsure how square the walls are, so this will need to be measured etc.

"Amazing to work with, great communication, a true eye for detail, and a professional in all respects. Highly recommended and would not hesistate to do more work with him. Thank you, we are very happy with the work you did for us! Handled the plumber and the engineered stone benchtop maker, so all of that was organised. Easy and hassle free. Love it."
