How we help
Custom cabinetry and kitchen renovation expertise tailored to Melbourne homes
We map your kitchen scope, timeline and budget to the independent renovator most likely to deliver the result. The renovator handles the design, the fixed-price written quote, the contract and the build itself end to end.
Custom cabinetry and joinery
Period terraces, Edwardians and bungalows across Melbourne suit made-to-measure joinery rather than a flat-pack run. A cabinetmaker can review your brief and explain whether their finish style fits your home.

Small and apartment kitchens
Owners corporation documentation, compact layouts, acoustic underlay and clever storage. The renovator handles apartment work across Richmond, Brunswick, Footscray and the inner city.

Frequently asked
Common kitchen renovation questions in Melbourne
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Melbourne?
Most Melbourne kitchen renovations land between $25,000 and $60,000 fully fitted. A budget refresh (door fronts, benchtop, splashback, no layout change) typically starts around $12,000 to $30,000, while premium renovations with natural stone, custom joinery and a butler's pantry can exceed $80,000. Figures are indicative only - the renovator you engage provides a written fixed-price quote.
How long does a kitchen renovation take in Melbourne?
Allow roughly 6 to 12 weeks from contract signing to handover for a mid-range full renovation. Cabinetry and stone fabrication take around 4 to 6 weeks as a lead-in, on-site work runs 2 to 4 weeks, and finishing adds 1 to 2 weeks. Lead times on cabinets, stone and appliances drive the front half of the project.
What is a butler's pantry and is it worth it?
A butler's pantry is a secondary prep and storage room behind the main kitchen, often with a second sink and bench. It keeps the main kitchen clear for entertaining and is one of the most-requested features on larger Melbourne renovations. Whether it suits depends on your floor plan and budget - the renovator can model it at the design stage.
Are soft-close drawers and doors standard?
Most quality Melbourne kitchen renovations include soft-close runners and hinges (such as Blum or Hettich) as standard. Confirm the hardware brand and whether soft-close is included in the base price when you compare quotes.
Do you do small and apartment kitchen renovations?
Yes - compact galley, single-wall and apartment kitchens are a common request across inner Melbourne. Your renovator can plan storage and bench space for tight footprints, including owners corporation requirements where they apply.
