Sweet Homes buys and fits the agreed products and materials for every job. We do not fit items bought or supplied by customers. Please allow at least four weeks from your first enquiry before construction can start. We agree your dates and costs with you before work starts.
A few details to get started.
Brunon and his team were on time every day. The site was always left tidy overnight and Brunon was always happy to chat and explain what they were doing.
He turned up on time, was courteous and completed the work to a high standard on the day stated, at the price stated. Very happy customer, will hire him again.

A place for the jobs that fill your day
Where will you fold the washing, and what needs to stay within reach? Your utility space has to work with the rooms around it, as well as the drainage and ventilation available.
Where the utility shares space with cooking, consider planning a compact kitchen.
When planning appliances, services and laundry storage, read planning a utility or laundry room.
In a tenement, the route through your shared close and the old floorboards around the work matter too. Tell us if the washing has to fit around school mornings, pets or someone working in the next room. Those details belong in the conversation before the scope is agreed.

What customers say
The guys did an incredible job putting up some weight bearing shelving in my property and have transformed what felt like a small cupboard to a bit more of a utility space. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough

Bring the washing into one run
Small moments, thoughtfully considered
The room, organised
Your choices, brought together.
We check the waste route and services before fixing the appliance positions. The quotation records the appliances we supply and fit, including any models you’ve chosen, alongside the connections, storage, finishes and making good included in the work.
Before fixing appliance positions, read about rewiring during a refurbishment.
Design, engineering and permissions
The agreed investigation checks waste routes, supplies, electrics, ventilation, floor, walls and access. Any certificates come from the subcontractors who carry out the work. Architectural design, engineering and approvals, where required, remain with your appointed professionals; the project-specific design determines the final drainage and ventilation arrangements.
Planning the budget
Utility-room starting budget
From £6,000+
Including VAT
This is a broad starting point, not a quotation or a price promise for a particular design. A written quotation follows assessment of the property, agreed scope and specification. The measured room determines the appliance arrangement, services and finishes included.

What is included?
We supply and fit the agreed appliance arrangement, service alterations, storage, worktop, lighting, decoration and making good. The quotation lists included appliances, connections and electrical alterations, and whether flooring or decoration extends beyond the utility space. We do not offer labour-only or fit-only work.
How long does the work take?
The measured scope and service routes determine the programme. We agree the work, access and installation sequence before starting; the project contract identifies the change approval, handover checks and snagging route for that scope.
Could a cupboard become a utility space?
Sometimes. A workable waste and water route, electrical provision, ventilation, appliance clearance and servicing access are needed. Where appliances are stacked, the selected models and manufacturer’s stacking arrangement must allow it. The layout should leave equipment serviceable.
It is also worth weighing the laundry space against the storage you would lose. A fitted cupboard may make better use of the space than a separate room; the right choice depends on how you use your home.
What happens if the work changes?
If an agreed detail needs to change, we record the proposed work, cost and programme effect and obtain agreement before carrying out the changed work. The project contract sets out the process for the agreed scope.
How do we start?
Send your enquiry by form or email. We arrange a follow-up call to talk through the project. If a site visit is useful, we arrange it afterwards and agree any fee beforehand. The programme and start date are agreed for the measured project after the quotation is accepted.
What happens at handover?
The project contract identifies the handover checks, snagging route, workmanship terms and aftercare for the agreed scope. Any certificates for the work come from the subcontractors who carry it out.
Planning a useful laundry space
What if we need work urgently?
We do not start construction within four weeks of the first enquiry. The call, property assessment where needed, quotation, your decision and preparation come first. The actual start and programme are agreed for your project. If you need urgent help, contact an emergency tradesperson.
How do laundry and ventilation choices work together?
The drying method, laundry moisture, background air supply and extract route need planning together. Where design input is needed, ask the professional responsible for ventilation to compare mechanical extraction with any proposed passive stack, which uses natural air movement through a vertical duct. The chosen system must suit the room and the guidance applicable to the work. Do not treat a window or an existing duct as proof that the planned drying load is addressed.
Can the utility include a sink?
A sink can be included where the agreed layout, worktop, water supply and waste route allow it. Establish those connections before fixing the cabinet and appliance arrangement; the written quotation identifies the work and products included.
Current Scottish guidance provides for intermittent mechanical extract ventilation in a utility room, with a compliant passive-stack system as an alternative. The final arrangement depends on the existing building and the project-specific design.
Project responsibility
Who manages the work
Brunon oversees project programmes across Edinburgh and is typically available by phone or email. The staff assigned to your job handle the day-to-day site work independently within the agreed scope, with the responsible contact confirmed before work starts.
Fully insured: £2 million public and products liability and £10 million employers' liability.
Our Christmas offer
Dinner is on us.
Book your renovation with us by 15 December 2026 and, while the work is under way, your first £50 of dinner is on us.
A Christmas present that arrives when you need it most. Picture it. The kitchen is down to bare walls, the hall smells of fresh plaster, and nobody wants to cook. So don't. Get a table somewhere warm, order something you would never make at home, and let someone else do the washing up.
Book by 15 December 2026. Your works can start later.
