Home Renovations Birregurra
Updating an older home is about more than new finishes. Pacific Edge Homes takes on selected kitchen, bathroom and laundry renovations in Birregurra, and we aim to give you rooms that work for modern life while still suiting the house they are in.
Character homes and practical rooms in Birregurra
Birregurra is a small township on the western bank of the Barwon River, about 18 kilometres east of Colac, with the Otway Ranges rising to the south. It is part of the Colac Otway Shire. If you want a renovation that respects the age and style of the house, we talk through details such as ceiling heights, window positions and existing joinery before we suggest a layout.
Older houses also bring practical questions. Wet areas may have been added or moved over the decades, floors can be out of level, and pipes and wiring may need attention before new cabinetry or tiles go in. If the property is covered by a heritage overlay, some work may need planning approval from the council, so it is worth checking early.

How a regional renovation runs
Birregurra is a fair distance from Melbourne, so we gather as much detail as we can before the site visit. A project generally runs like this.
- Call or send photos. Tell us about the room and send photos so we can discuss scope and rough options.
- Site visit. We arrange a visit to measure, check the existing services and confirm what is involved.
- Written quote. You receive a written quote that sets out what is included before anything is booked.
- Planned site work. Trades are scheduled in sequence, and materials are confirmed ahead of time.
- Handover. We walk through the finished work with you and explain care of new finishes.
One Melbourne team, start to finish

Renovating in Birregurra: common questions
Will you take on a project in Birregurra?
We take on selected projects in Birregurra and nearby towns. Contact us to confirm availability before planning around particular dates.
Can a new kitchen suit an older house?
Yes. Door styles, benchtop edges, handles and colours can all be chosen to sit comfortably with the rest of the home. Read about our kitchen renovations.
What if the bathroom floor is uneven?
Uneven floors are common in older houses. We check the floor during the site visit and allow for levelling in the quote, because tiles and a shower base need a flat, sound surface.
Could there be asbestos in an older Birregurra home?
If the house or any extension was built before 1990, it is possible. Asbestos Victoria explains how to find and identify asbestos, and testing before demolition is recommended.
Do I need a permit as well as council approval?
They are different things. A building permit covers building work, and the Building and Plumbing Commission explains when one is required. Planning approval from the council can apply separately, for example where an overlay affects the property.
