Kitchen Renovation
Full kitchen replacement for Bateman homes, including the electrical upgrade that most 1970s kitchens need.
Bateman was largely built out in the 1960s and 1970s, and the suburb still has a lot of its original housing. That means a kitchen with a servery, a laminate bench, and cabinets that have survived forty years of family use. When those kitchens come out, the room underneath is usually better than expected — but the wiring behind the walls rarely is.
We work with two groups in Bateman, and they want opposite things. Owner-occupiers are usually renovating once, for the long term, and want the bench, the drawers and the splashback to still look right in fifteen years. Landlords want something that survives tenants, cleans easily and does not push the rent past what the street supports.
Access matters more here than people expect. Streets near the hospital and the university are busy during the week, and a skip or a delivery truck parked in the wrong place can hold up a whole morning. We plan deliveries and waste removal around the time of day rather than assuming the street will be clear.

New cabinetry sized to the room, with the storage planned around a family rather than a display home.
Installation of cabinets you have supplied, or ours, finished to the ceiling line and the existing floor.
Stone benchtops with the join placed away from the main sight line, and the sink and cooktop cut-outs aligned.
Hybrid flooring through the kitchen and meals area, laid to handle a household rather than a showroom.

Tell us whether you are renovating to live in or to rent out, and roughly what the house is worth on the street. It changes the sensible specification, and there is no point quoting stone into a rental that will not return it.
