Home Renovations Soldiers Hill
Soldiers Hill sits just north of the Ballarat CBD, and it is the kind of area where a renovation often has to balance new function with an older house. Pacific Edge Homes takes on selected kitchen, bathroom and laundry projects here, planned carefully from the first visit.
Modern rooms in older Soldiers Hill houses
Soldiers Hill is directly north of central Ballarat and part of the City of Ballarat. If you own a Victorian or Edwardian era house, the goal is usually a kitchen or bathroom that works like a new one without looking out of place next to the original rooms. That affects choices such as tile size, cabinetry style, skirting details and where new plumbing can run.
Older houses also tend to have timber floors, lath-and-plaster walls and wet areas that have been altered over the years. We check the floor structure and existing services at the site visit, so the quote reflects the house as it is. If your home is in a heritage overlay, it is worth checking with the council early, as some external changes may need a planning permit.

Renovating in Soldiers Hill: common questions
Do you renovate period homes in Soldiers Hill?
We take on selected projects in Soldiers Hill, including older homes. Get in touch with your address and a few photos so we can confirm availability.
Can a new bathroom suit the style of an older house?
Yes. Tile choice, tapware and vanity style make a big difference. We talk through options that suit the house before finalising selections. Our bathroom renovation page has more detail.
Is my house likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built or renovated before 1990 may contain it, particularly in old wet-area sheeting or floor coverings. Asbestos Victoria explains how to find and identify it, and testing before demolition is recommended.
Do I need a building permit for an internal renovation?
Some internal work is exempt and some is not. The Building and Plumbing Commission explains when a building permit is required, and we will flag anything that is likely to need one.
Can you lay new timber floors in an older house?
We can assess them at the site visit and quote timber flooring for the rooms you want done, either as part of a renovation or as a separate job.
What do you need from me for a Soldiers Hill quote?
Use the form on this page or call (03) 7065 0017. Include your postcode (3350), the rooms involved and photos of both the room and the rest of the house, so we can match the style.
