The heart of the homeKitchen renovations
A kitchen that works as hard as you do and ages beautifully doing it — handmade cabinets, solid worktops and storage planned around your cooking.
Function first, beauty built in
We start with how you cook: where you chop, where the pans live, who empties the dishwasher. Then we build cabinetry that puts everything within reach — deep dovetailed drawers, pull-out larders, bins and boards exactly where your hands expect them.
Cabinet fronts are solid timber or birch-ply with timber lippings; worktops are staved oak, walnut or ash, oiled to shrug off daily life.
A complete kitchen, carefully sequenced
- Design visit, measured plan and 3D views of your new layout
- Handmade cabinets with dovetailed drawers and soft-close hardware
- Staved solid-timber worktops, upstands and windowsills
- Appliance integration, lighting coordination and honest trade scheduling
- Temporary cooking setup so you are never without a kitchen
- Food-safe oil finish, care kit and five-year workmanship warranty
How a kitchen refit runs
Design
Weeks 1–3: measure, layout options, appliance list and a fixed quote.
Build
Weeks 3–7: cabinets made in the workshop while strip-out is scheduled.
Install
Weeks 7–10: two-to-three-week fit with electrics, plumbing and plastering sequenced.
Season
Worktops oiled three times, snag list cleared, care routine explained.
Kitchen FAQs
Very well, when finished properly. We saturate worktops with food-safe hard oil, and show you the two-minute monthly top-up that keeps them sealed. Trivets and common sense do the rest — and unlike stone, scratches sand out.
Compact kitchens from around $18,000; typical family kitchens run $28,000–$55,000 including worktops, fitting and coordination of electrics and plumbing. The fixed quote itemises it all.
Happily. We build to architects' drawings every month — and we will flag the small cabinetry clashes that drawings often miss, before they cost you money.
