What actually drives a kitchen renovation
A kitchen is the most mechanical room in the house. Behind the doors there is plumbing, drainage, power, gas or induction circuits, ventilation and often a structural wall, and the order those are handled in decides whether the job runs three weeks or seven. We set the layout first, because every trade after that is working to it. Once the layout is locked, cabinetry goes into production while demolition and rough-in happen on site, so you are not waiting two weeks for doors after the room is already stripped.
The question we get asked most is about benchtops, and the answer has changed. Engineered stone was banned across Australia on 1 July 2024 because of the silicosis risk to the people cutting it, so it is no longer an option on any job, ours included. What we use instead is natural stone such as granite, marble and quartzite, porcelain and sintered surfaces, solid timber for islands and butler's pantries, and high-pressure laminate where the budget is better spent elsewhere. Porcelain in particular has become the practical replacement for most kitchens: it handles heat, it does not stain, and it comes in slabs large enough for a waterfall island.
Storage is where a renovation is won or lost. Drawers beat cupboards for anything below bench height, because you can see what is at the back without kneeling. A pantry with adjustable shelving outlasts a fixed one. Appliance garages keep the benchtop clear. We plan all of it around how you actually cook rather than around a showroom layout, and the cabinetry is made to your room, so there are no filler panels pretending to be joinery.
The other thing worth getting right is ventilation. An undersized rangehood recirculating through a filter does very little; a properly sized hood ducted outside keeps grease off your cabinetry and moisture out of the ceiling. If the kitchen is in an apartment, ducting has to work with the building, which is something we check before quoting rather than after.
Kitchen Renovations — questions, answered
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
A typical kitchen is 3–5 weeks on site depending on cabinetry lead times and any wall or structural changes.
Do you make custom cabinetry?
Yes — cabinetry and joinery are made to your layout, with a choice of finishes, handles and stone.
Can you move plumbing and add power?
We manage licensed plumbing and electrical, so islands, new sinks and extra power points are no problem.
Which areas do you cover?
All of Sydney, including the lower north shore, eastern suburbs and inner west.
Can we still get engineered stone benchtops?
No, and nobody can. Engineered stone was banned nationally on 1 July 2024 because of the silicosis risk to stonemasons. We use natural stone, porcelain and sintered surfaces, timber or laminate instead. Porcelain is the closest match for most kitchens and comes in slabs big enough for a waterfall island.
Can we stay in the house during a kitchen renovation?
Most clients do. We set up a temporary kitchen with the fridge, microwave and kettle somewhere else in the house before demolition. You will be without a sink and oven for the bulk of the job, so plan for takeaway and simple meals for three to five weeks.
What actually drives the cost up?
Three things, in order: moving plumbing or structural walls, the benchtop material, and appliances. Cabinetry is usually more predictable than people expect. We quote all of it itemised so you can see where the money sits and decide what matters to you.
Do you handle appliances, or do we buy them?
Either. Most clients buy their own and we install them, which is usually cheaper. Tell us the models before cabinetry goes into production, because appliance dimensions decide cabinet sizes and a late change is an expensive one.
