Home Renovations Jan Juc
Living close to the coast changes what a kitchen, bathroom or laundry has to cope with. Pacific Edge Homes is a Melbourne-based team that takes on selected renovations in Jan Juc, and we choose finishes and plan ventilation with the coast in mind.
Wet areas and finishes for a coastal Jan Juc home
Jan Juc sits on the Bass Strait coast just west of Torquay, across Spring Creek, in the Surf Coast Shire. Salt air and sea moisture are part of life here, and they tend to show up first in bathrooms and laundries as corroded fittings, mould on ceilings and grout that never quite dries.
When we plan a wet-area renovation in Jan Juc, we look at how steam and moisture leave the room as closely as at the tiles and tapware. A properly ducted exhaust fan, a sound membrane under the tiles and fixtures suited to coastal conditions go a long way. Sand traffic is worth thinking about too, so tell us if the laundry is the first room people walk into after the beach.

Renovating in Jan Juc: common questions
Are you able to take on a renovation in Jan Juc?
Yes, we take on selected projects in Jan Juc and around the Surf Coast. Contact us first so we can confirm availability for the work you have in mind.
How do you deal with mould in a coastal bathroom?
Mould usually means moisture is not leaving the room. Along with new tiling and a fresh membrane, we look at exhaust fan placement and ducting so the room dries out properly. Our bathroom renovation page covers the full process.
Which flooring suits a house near the beach?
Tiles are the easiest to keep clean where sand and wet feet come through. Timber and carpet can work well in living areas and bedrooms. We can talk through the options, and our tiling page has more detail.
Will I need a building permit?
That depends on the scope. Replacing fittings in the same position usually does not, but structural changes may. The Building and Plumbing Commission explains when a permit is required.
Is asbestos likely in an older beach house?
Homes built before 1990 may contain it, for example in fibre-cement sheeting or old vinyl floors. Asbestos Victoria has guidance on identifying it. Testing before demolition is the sensible step.
