Kitchen Renovations in Wollongong & the Illawarra
Tired benchtop or a full strip-out down to the studs — we'll sort your kitchen without the runaround. Wollongong & the Illawarra, fair pricing.
What Kitchen Renovations Covers
Benchtop & Cabinet Refresh
Not every kitchen needs to be gutted. If the layout still works but the surfaces are dated, chipped, or just not your style anymore, we'll swap out the benchtop, reface or replace the cabinet doors, and update the hardware — usually done in days, not weeks.
Full Strip-Out Renovations
Taking a kitchen back to the studs — new cabinetry, benchtops, splashback, plumbing and electrical coordination, the lot. We manage the sequence so trades aren't tripping over each other.
Custom Cabinetry
Built to your space, not a flat-pack size. Pantries, island benches, corner solutions — if it needs to fit an awkward Illawarra floorplan, we'll make it fit.
Appliance Installation Coordination
Ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, dishwashers — we coordinate the cutouts, connections and handover so your new appliances are ready the day the kitchen's finished.

Kitchen Renovations Pricing — What Affects the Cost
There's no honest single number — here's what actually moves the price.
Scope — a benchtop/cabinet refresh is a different job (and budget) to a full strip-out
Size — a small galley kitchen and a large open-plan kitchen aren't priced the same
Materials — laminate vs. natural stone, Bunnings-tier cabinetry vs. fully custom joinery
Condition — what's behind the walls matters, old wiring or plumbing adds cost nobody can quote until it's uncovered
Appliances — supplying new appliances vs. reinstalling your existing ones

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in the Illawarra?+
It depends entirely on scope and size — a benchtop/cabinet refresh is a very different job to a full strip-out. As a rough guide: a refresh typically runs $8,000–$16,000, a partial renovation $16,000–$28,000, and a full strip-out from $28,000–$45,000+ depending on finish level.

Should I refresh my kitchen or do a full renovation?+
If the layout works and you're just tired of how it looks, a refresh gets you most of the visual change for a fraction of the cost. A full renovation makes sense if the layout doesn't suit how you use the kitchen, or if plumbing/electrical issues need addressing anyway.
What benchtop material should I choose?+
Laminate is the budget-smart option and has come a long way. For a step up, natural stone, sintered stone or porcelain give a premium look and better heat/scratch resistance. Engineered quartz has been banned in Australia since mid-2024.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?+
A refresh can be a matter of days. A full strip-out renovation is typically several weeks, depending on scope, material lead times, and what's uncovered once the old kitchen's out.
Do I need to move out during the renovation?+
Usually not, though you'll be without a working kitchen for part of the job. We'll talk you through what to expect for your specific scope during the quote.
Can you work with my existing appliances?+
Yes — we coordinate around keeping your existing appliances if that's the plan, or supplying and installing new ones if you're upgrading.
