Renovations across City Beach, Floreat, Scarborough, Claremont, Subiaco and Leederville
City Beach, Floreat, Scarborough, Claremont, Subiaco and Leederville are among Perth's most established suburbs, with a mix of character Federation homes close to the city and larger post-war blocks nearer the coast.
Subiaco and Leederville are known for Federation-era character bungalows and cottages close to the city centre, many with original detailing worth preserving. City Beach and Floreat feature larger blocks with a strong stock of 1950s–60s homes, some architect-designed, now increasingly being renovated rather than knocked down. Claremont and Scarborough sit somewhere between the two, with a mix of character homes and more recent builds.
In Subiaco and Leederville, the most common job is a bathroom renovation that respects the home's Federation character while bringing the functionality up to modern standard. In City Beach and Floreat, we're more often asked to modernise a well-built but dated 1950s–60s bathroom without losing the generous room proportions those homes are known for.

Common Bathroom Styles
Character homes in Subiaco and Leederville often suit a period-appropriate palette — classic subway tiling, brass or matte black fixtures — while City Beach and Floreat renovations tend toward a cleaner, more contemporary coastal look that suits the larger room sizes typical of that housing stock.
Property Notes
Character homes with heritage or streetscape overlays may need design sign-off for any street-visible changes, which we build into the project timeline. Established blocks in City Beach and Floreat sometimes have older plumbing stacks that are worth assessing before a full bathroom rebuild.
Council & Approvals
Parts of Subiaco and Claremont carry heritage or character-protection overlays that can affect approvable changes to street-facing facades and rooflines — we check this at the design stage for character homes. Coastal suburbs like City Beach and Scarborough have generally more straightforward approval pathways for internal renovation work.

FAQs
Western Suburbs — common questions
Can you renovate a Subiaco or Leederville character home without losing its street appeal?+
Yes — where a heritage or character overlay applies, we design internal renovations to work within it, and factor any street-facing approval requirements into the project timeline from the start.
Are City Beach and Floreat homes harder to renovate because of their age?+
Not harder, but older plumbing and electrical often need assessing alongside the cosmetic renovation — something we check during the initial visit so it's accounted for in the quote rather than discovered mid-job.
Do you work on beachside properties in Scarborough?+
Yes, including properties with the salt-air exposure considerations that come with being close to the coast — we select fixtures and fittings that hold up to it.
