Home Renovations Black Hill
If your kitchen or bathroom was last updated decades ago, there is often more to the job than new tiles and cabinets. Pacific Edge Homes takes on selected renovations in Black Hill, and we start by finding out what is behind the existing walls and floors before we price the new work.
Updating older homes in Black Hill
Black Hill is about 2 km north-east of central Ballarat, within the City of Ballarat, and takes its name from the hill that was mined for gold from the 1850s. If your house has been through a few owners and a few rounds of patch-up work, it is worth planning the renovation around what is actually there rather than what the last update left on the surface.
In an older bathroom or laundry, that can mean worn-out membranes, uneven floors or old wall sheeting. If the home was built or renovated before 1990, some materials may contain asbestos, so we recommend testing before demolition where there is any doubt. Finding these things early keeps the quote realistic and avoids surprises halfway through.

How a regional renovation runs
With older homes, the inspection matters most. This is how we take a Black Hill project from first call to handover.
- 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.

Our team has 30 years of combined experience, and Pacific Edge Homes has been in business for 10 years, with 1,000 completed projects. The same team manages your renovation from the first conversation to the final handover. More about us

Renovating in Black Hill: common questions
Can you take on a renovation at my Black Hill address?
Possibly. We take on selected projects in Black Hill and nearby suburbs. Contact us with your address and the scope so we can confirm availability.
What if you find damage once the old bathroom is removed?
We inspect before quoting to reduce the risk, but hidden damage can still turn up in older homes. If it does, we explain what we found and agree any extra work with you before going ahead. Learn more about our bathroom renovations.
Could there be asbestos in my house?
If it was built or renovated before 1990, it may. Asbestos Victoria has guidance on finding and identifying it. We recommend testing suspect materials before any demolition.
Can uneven floors be fixed during a renovation?
Often, yes. Floor preparation is part of the scope for tiling and timber floors, and we assess it at the site visit.
Will I need a building permit?
It depends on the work. The Building and Plumbing Commission explains when a permit is required, and we will point it out if your plans are likely to need one.
