    Our Kitchen Renovation Services

    Full Kitchen Renovation

    A full kitchen renovation involves removing the existing kitchen and rebuilding the space from scratch. This is the best option when you want to change the layout, upgrade all appliances and install new cabinetry and benchtops.

    Our full kitchen renovation scope includes kitchen demolition and waste removal in Melbourne, layout redesign and space planning, custom or flat-pack cabinetry supply and installation, kitchen benchtop installation in Melbourne (stone, laminate, timber or engineered), kitchen splashback installation in Melbourne (tile, glass panel or stone), kitchen plumbing in Melbourne (sink, dishwasher, gas connections), kitchen electrician services in Melbourne (lighting, power points, rangehood wiring), kitchen flooring in Melbourne, and painting.

    The kitchen renovation cost in Melbourne for a full renovation typically ranges from $20,000 to $50,000 depending on size, materials and appliance choices.

    Melbourne townhouses, units and older homes often have compact kitchens. A small kitchen renovation in Melbourne focuses on maximising storage, improving workflow and creating the feeling of more space.

    We achieve this through smart cabinet configurations, lighter colour palettes, reflective splashbacks, under-cabinet lighting and space-efficient appliances. Small kitchen renovations start from $12,000.

    Looking for cheap kitchen renovations in Melbourne? A budget-friendly approach keeps the existing layout and replaces visible elements only. Costs start from $7,000.

    Not every kitchen needs a full rebuild. A kitchen makeover in Melbourne keeps the existing layout and focuses on replacing visible elements to give the room a fresh, modern look at a fraction of the cost.

    A kitchen makeover typically includes kitchen cabinet replacement (resurfacing or new doors and drawer fronts), new benchtops (overlays or replacement), new splashback, updated handles and hardware, new tapware and sink, and fresh paint.

    Kitchen makeovers in Melbourne start from $7,000 and take 1 to 2 weeks to complete.

    If your cabinets and benchtops are the main issue, we replace them without a full renovation. Our kitchen benchtop installation service in Melbourne covers stone (Caesarstone, Essastone, natural granite), laminate, timber and engineered stone benchtops. Kitchen cabinet replacement includes custom or flat-pack options in a range of finishes.

    Removing the wall between a closed kitchen and living area is the most popular layout change in Melbourne homes. An open plan kitchen renovation in Melbourne creates a spacious, light-filled living zone where the kitchen flows into the dining and entertaining areas.

    Open plan conversions require structural assessment. Removing a non-load-bearing wall costs $1,000 to $3,000. Removing a load-bearing wall with steel beam support adds $5,000 to $15,000.
