Home Renovations Old Toongabbie - Mitro Team Projects

If your bathroom is long overdue for an update, you’re not alone. A lot of homes across Seven Hills were built in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, and many of those original bathrooms are still in place, complete with ageing tiles, failing waterproofing, cramped layouts, and fittings that have well and truly had their day.

We’re Mitroteam Projects, a local Sydney building team with over 20 years of construction experience. Founded in 2012 by brothers Marin and Goran Mitrovic, we handle bathroom renovations across Seven Hills and Western Sydney from start to finish, including demolition, waterproofing, tiling, plumbing, vanities, and all the finishing details.

We’re fully licensed and insured, we offer free quotes, and we don’t do surprise costs.

Bathroom Renovations in Seven Hills

Old Toongabbie is one of the earliest settled areas in New South Wales, and the housing stock reflects that history. Many homes across the suburb are well established, and while they’re solid and well-located, a lot of them haven’t been updated in decades. Dated kitchens, older bathrooms, closed-off floor plans, and limited storage are things we hear about regularly from homeowners in the area.

We’re Mitroteam Projects, a local Sydney building team founded in 2012 by brothers Marin and Goran Mitrovic. With over 20 years of combined construction experience, we work with Old Toongabbie homeowners on renovations, extensions, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, open-plan conversions, and second storey additions.

If your home isn’t working as well as it should be, we’ll help you change that, without the stress, and without any hidden costs along the way.

Why Homeowners Are Choosing to Renovate

Old Toongabbie has one of the higher owner-occupancy rates in Western Sydney, which tells you something about the people who live here. Most of them aren’t looking to sell and move on. They’re invested in the suburb and want their homes to reflect that.

The most common reasons we hear for renovating in Old Toongabbie:

The existing layout is outdated and doesn’t suit how the family lives
Kitchens and bathrooms need a proper update
There’s not enough room for a growing household
The home feels closed off with poor natural light
Homeowners want to improve the property’s value over time
Outdoor areas are underutilised or in poor condition

Because Old Toongabbie is a smaller suburb, many blocks are also a reasonable size, which makes rear extensions and alfresco additions a practical option for homeowners who need more space.

Types of Homes We Renovate

Old Toongabbie has a fairly consistent housing character compared to some of its neighbouring suburbs. Here’s what we commonly work on:

Established Brick Homes

The majority of homes in Old Toongabbie are established brick properties, many built from the mid-twentieth century onwards. These homes are structurally solid but often need layout reconfiguration, kitchen and bathroom modernisation, flooring replacement, and improvements to insulation and natural light.

Fibro and Older Construction Homes

Some older properties in the area may contain asbestos in walls, ceilings, or eaves. We carry out testing before any demolition or structural work starts and manage safe removal as part of the project.

Single-Level Family Homes

Single-level homes are common in Old Toongabbie and are well suited to rear extensions, open-plan conversions, and kitchen and bathroom upgrades. Many homeowners also add a second storey when they need more bedrooms without sacrificing backyard space.

Duplexes and Older Units

Duplex and older unit properties in the area commonly need storage improvements, kitchen and bathroom updates, better lighting, and modern finishes throughout.

Renovation Considerations We Plan Around in Old Toongabbie

Every suburb has its own building conditions, and Old Toongabbie is no different. Here are the key things we factor in during the planning stage.

City of Parramatta Council

Unlike neighbouring Toongabbie, which spans three council areas, Old Toongabbie falls entirely under the City of Parramatta. This simplifies the approval process, as there’s one clear set of planning rules and one council to deal with. We know the Parramatta planning framework well and can help you navigate it as part of your project.

Asbestos

Homes built before the late 1980s may contain asbestos materials in walls, ceilings, eaves, or floor coverings. Testing and safe removal needs to happen before any building work starts. We take care of this as part of the renovation process.

Older Plumbing and Electrical

Many established homes in Old Toongabbie have plumbing and electrical systems that are well past their best. These often need to be brought up to current standards as part of a renovation, and we include this assessment in our quoting process.

Structural Wall Removal

Opening up closed-off floor plans typically involves removing internal load-bearing walls. This requires proper structural engineering and support beam installation. It’s standard work for us, but it has to be done correctly.

Drainage and Stormwater

Older properties can have stormwater drainage that needs upgrading during extensions or structural renovations. We assess drainage early so it doesn’t become an issue once work is underway.

Renovation Approvals We Can Help You With

Old Toongabbie falls under the City of Parramatta, which means all development applications and complying development certificates go through Parramatta Council.

Some renovations can proceed under a Complying Development Certificate, which is a faster approval pathway. Others require a full Development Application depending on the scope and nature of the work.

Factors that typically determine which approval pathway applies include:

The size and type of work being done
Property zoning
Heritage considerations
Building setbacks and site coverage
Whether structural changes are involved

Projects that commonly need council approval include extensions, second storey additions, structural renovations, granny flats, and significant changes to the external appearance of the home.

We help homeowners work out which approval pathway applies and manage the process from there.

Kitchen Renovations Old Toongabbie

Kitchens are one of the most common renovation projects we take on in Old Toongabbie. Older kitchens in the area tend to be compact, separated from the living areas, and lacking in bench space, storage, and practical layout.

We design and build kitchens that are practical for everyday use, from the layout through to the finishes. Common work includes new cabinetry, stone benchtops, island benches, appliance upgrades, improved lighting, and flooring replacement.

A lot of homeowners also take the opportunity to remove the wall between the kitchen and living areas to open up the space and get better natural light moving through the home.

Bathroom Renovations Old Toongabbie

Older bathrooms in Old Toongabbie often have ageing waterproofing, dated fittings, poor ventilation, and minimal storage. Getting a bathroom done properly from the start makes a real difference to how the home functions and what it’s worth.

We manage bathroom renovations from demolition through to the final installation, including waterproofing, tiling, plumbing, custom vanities, fixtures, and ventilation. Everything is completed to a standard that lasts.

Home Extensions Old Toongabbie

For homeowners who need more room, a ground floor extension is often the most practical way to get it without moving. A well-designed rear extension can add open living areas, a larger kitchen, extra bedrooms, a home office, or a covered outdoor entertaining area.

Second storey additions are also increasingly popular in Old Toongabbie, particularly for families who want more bedrooms without losing backyard space. We design extensions that work with the existing home rather than looking out of place alongside it.

How Our Renovation Process Works

We keep things clear and straightforward so you know what to expect at every stage.

Consultation. We talk through your renovation goals, your budget, and what the property currently needs.
Site inspection. We come out and look at the property in detail to identify any structural, site-specific, or compliance considerations.
Planning and design. We develop layouts, inclusions, and construction plans based on your project scope.
Approvals. Where needed, we prepare and submit plans for CDC or DA approval through the City of Parramatta.
Construction. Our team manages the full build, including all trades, from start to finish.
Final handover. We do a full walkthrough with you to make sure everything is right before we hand the project over.

You’ll deal directly with our team throughout. No going through a middleman, no chasing people down.
