Renovations in Mitcham

Serving Mitcham 5062 & the City of Mitcham area · Adelaide's southern foothills
Older-home renovation specialists in Mitcham
The village heart of Mitcham and the streets climbing into the southern foothills hold some of Adelaide's most characterful housing — bluestone and sandstone cottages, symmetrical villas and solid mid-century homes shaded by established gums. They're wonderful homes to live in, and rewarding to renovate, but the wet areas often haven't been touched in decades.
That's where Spriggs & Co. come in. We strip back tired bathrooms and laundries in older Mitcham homes, re-waterproof and re-tile them properly, and rework layouts that no longer suit the way the house is used. As licensed plumbers (Licence No. 284188) we deal with the ageing pipework and drainage behind the walls, and Hayley designs finishes that suit a stone home in a leafy foothills setting.

Renovating an older home in the foothills
Re-waterproofing done right
Older bathrooms often have failed or non-existent waterproofing. We strip back to the substrate and waterproof to current standards — the single most important step in a lasting bathroom.
Sloping foothills blocks
Mitcham's foothills sites can slope, which affects drainage falls and how services run. We plan the plumbing around the site rather than fighting it.
Stone homes, sympathetic finishes
A bathroom in a bluestone cottage should feel considered, not jarring. Hayley chooses tiles, timber and tapware that suit the age and setting of the home.

Home, bathroom and kitchen renovations in Mitcham
A renovation in Mitcham can be anything from one tired ensuite to a stone cottage that needs its bathroom, laundry and kitchen brought up to date in one go. We take on both, and the plumbing, waterproofing and gas work is done by our own licensed team either way.
Bathroom renovations are the most common starting point. In an older Mitcham home that usually means stripping the room back to the substrate, replacing ageing pipework, re-waterproofing to current Australian Standards and re-tiling, with Hayley planning a layout and finishes that suit the house. Most complete bathrooms take around 3–4 weeks on site.

Renovating in Mitcham — your questions answered
Do you renovate older stone cottages and villas in Mitcham?
Yes — older homes are a speciality in the 5062 area. Bluestone and sandstone cottages, villas and mid-century homes all renovate well, and we understand the older construction and plumbing behind them, so the work is planned properly rather than improvised on site.
Can you re-waterproof and re-tile a bathroom in an older Mitcham home?
That's core work for us. Many older bathrooms have failed or missing waterproofing, so we strip back to the substrate, waterproof to current Australian Standards and re-tile — the step that determines whether a bathroom lasts decades or leaks within a few years.
Our Mitcham home is on a sloping foothills block — are there drainage considerations?
There can be, and we plan for it. Sloping sites affect drainage falls and how waste and services run. Because we're licensed plumbers, we design the plumbing around the site from the start so the finished bathroom, kitchen or laundry drains and performs correctly.
Which foothills and southern suburbs do you cover besides Mitcham?
We work throughout the City of Mitcham and surrounds — Torrens Park, Kingswood, Hawthorn, Blackwood, Colonel Light Gardens, Lower Mitcham and Netherby among them. Reach out and we'll confirm we cover your area.
Do you take on whole-home renovations in Mitcham, or just bathrooms?
Both. Many Mitcham projects start with the bathroom, but we also renovate kitchens and laundries and take on larger multi-room renovations. Hayley's 20+ years of design experience means a bigger job is planned and run as one project, with one point of contact.
How long does a kitchen renovation in Mitcham take?
Most kitchen renovations take around 3–5 weeks on site, depending on cabinetry lead times, stone templating and the scope of works. We give you a realistic schedule before work starts and coordinate every trade so the job keeps moving.
Do you renovate bathrooms in Blackwood and the Mitcham Hills too?
Yes. Blackwood and the hills suburbs around it are part of the City of Mitcham area we cover. Our Blackwood page explains what renovating on a sloping hills block involves.
