Houses — 81.5% of Cherrybrook
Big houses, more than one bathroom.
71.8% of Cherrybrook dwellings have four or more bedrooms — the highest share of any suburb we service — and households average 3.1 people. That combination means most enquiries here are about two or three rooms, not one.
Three bathrooms is normal here
Main, ensuite and often a powder room. Quoting them as one project is cheaper than three separate visits over five years.
Slab, so plan the layout early
Most Cherrybrook housing is 1980s onward on slab. Moving a waste means cutting concrete, so the layout is settled before demolition.
Ensuites carry the value
In a four-bedroom house the ensuite is used twice a day. It is usually where the extra budget earns its keep.
You keep a working bathroom
With more than one room we sequence the programme so the family is never without somewhere to shower.

flats or apartments — 74 dwellings in total
Strata — 1,023 townhouses and villas
In Cherrybrook, strata means townhouses.
This is the fact that catches people out. Only 74 dwellings in the whole suburb are flats or apartments — but 1,023 are semi-detached, row or terrace houses, townhouses and villas. Most of those are strata-titled, so the approval process applies even though you have your own driveway.
It looks like a house. It isn't.
Own front door, own courtyard, own garage — and still an owners corporation whose written approval you need before demolition.
Upstairs bathrooms need care
Two-storey townhouses put the main bathroom over living space. Membrane detail and the fall to the waste get extra attention.
Small schemes, quick decisions
A ten-lot complex is easier than a hundred-lot tower. A clear scope usually gets approved without a special meeting.
Shared walls, agreed hours
Demolition noise carries through a party wall. We agree the working hours with the committee and stick to them.

Cherrybrook questions
Family homes and townhouses.
We have three bathrooms. Should we do them all at once?
If they all need doing, generally yes. Site protection, rubbish removal, trade call-outs and delivery are shared rather than paid three times, and the finishes stay consistent across the house. We sequence it so one room is always usable. The saving sits in the mobilisation, not the tiles.
I live in a townhouse. Do I need owners corporation approval?
If the property is strata-titled, yes — having your own front door and garage makes no difference. Waterproofing and floor penetrations generally affect common property, so written approval is normally required before work starts. In Cherrybrook this applies to well over a thousand dwellings, so it comes up constantly.
Our house is on a concrete slab. Can we still change the layout?
Within limits. Moving a basin or shower is usually fine because supply pipework is flexible. Moving the toilet means relocating the waste, which on a slab means cutting and reinstating concrete — possible, but priced accordingly. We establish exactly what you have at the first visit so the design is realistic.
The main bathroom is upstairs over the living room. Is that a risk?
It is the reason waterproofing detail matters more in a two-storey house. We strip back, prepare the substrate properly, install the membrane to the wet area standard and provide certification on completion. Tiling over an existing membrane on an upstairs bathroom is not something we will do.
Which council covers Cherrybrook?
Cherrybrook falls mainly within Hornsby Shire Council. Because suburb boundaries and council boundaries do not always align, we confirm the correct council for your address before advising on any approval that may be needed. Internal bathroom work that does not alter structure is generally exempt development in NSW regardless.
