Kitchen Renovations Sydney

A kitchen with room to cook, gather and get on with everyday life. Plan your renovation with direct builder involvement, from a single room to a more open home.

Speak directly with Scott · Single-room renovations welcome

Make everyday life easier, starting with the kitchen.

Perhaps the benchtop disappears under appliances, two people cannot cook comfortably, or the kitchen feels shut away from the family. A successful renovation starts with those frustrations, then brings the layout, storage and building work together.

Elite Additions undertakes kitchen renovations in Sydney as standalone projects and as part of larger home renovations. Scott brings 20 years of building experience and coordinates the agreed work with cabinetry suppliers and specialist trades. You can come to us with plans or an idea you want to explore.

A kitchen renovation shaped around your home.

Rework the existing room

Resolve the placement of appliances, preparation space, drawers and pantry storage. Keeping a workable layout can help focus the budget on cabinetry, finishes and the details you use every day.

Open up the living space

Connect the kitchen with dining or living areas where the building allows. Wall openings, beams, changed windows and floor levels need to be considered with the cabinetry design.

Coordinate adjoining rooms

Plan a pantry, laundry or nearby bathroom alongside the kitchen. If an extension is on the horizon, consider the final layout before installing work that may need to move later.

The agreed scope can include strip-out, carpentry, cabinetry coordination, plumbing, electrical work, lighting, benchtops, splashbacks, flooring and finishes. We identify what is included, what you supply and what needs further investigation.

Kitchens within real Elite Additions projects.

These examples formed part of larger renovations. Explore the full projects to see how the kitchens connect with the rest of each home.

Kitchen renovation at the Warrawee home by Elite Additions

Warrawee: opening up a workers cottage

A new open-plan kitchen was part of a wider renovation that reworked the living and dining areas, reinforced structural beams and levelled floors. The owners describe the finished home as brighter and more open.

Kitchen and dining area in the Castle Hill home renovation by Elite Additions

Castle Hill: kitchen, dining and more space

Kitchen and dining alterations were coordinated with a new family room, bathroom and laundry work. The project involved an external cabinetmaker working to Elite’s specifications alongside the architect and engineer.

What affects the cost of a kitchen renovation?

The useful starting point is the complete scope, not the price of the cabinets alone. Room size matters, but changing services or opening a structural wall can have a greater effect than adding another cupboard.

Decisions that shape the price

  • Keeping or changing the layout and plumbing positions.
  • Cabinet construction, internal fittings, drawers and pantry storage.
  • Benchtop material, size, joins and splashback treatment.
  • Appliance selections, lighting and electrical requirements.
  • Wall openings, flooring transitions and repairs to the existing building.

Make quotes easier to compare

Check demolition and disposal, trade work, installation, finishes, allowances, exclusions and GST. Clarify which appliances and fittings you will supply, and how changes or concealed conditions will be handled.

Tell Scott your working budget and priorities early. The scope can then be assessed against the home and the outcome you want.

Plan the work before the kitchen comes out.

01 / Understand the room

Discuss how you cook, store food and move through the space. Review measurements, access, the existing building and any drawings you already have.

02 / Resolve the details

Bring the layout, cabinetry, appliances and services together. Establish the required design or approval work, selections, scope and construction sequence.

03 / Coordinate the build

Arrange the agreed building work and specialist trades around the installation sequence, with Scott as your main point of contact.

Cabinetry manufacture, appliance availability and benchtop templating affect timing as well as the work on site. Plan temporary cooking arrangements and access through the house before demolition. If you need help developing the wider layout, explore our design services.

North Shore & northern suburbs

Your suburb does not decide what is permitted at your address. The existing building, proposed work and any property-specific constraints need to be considered together. Explore our service areas.

Kitchen renovation questions.

Do you take on a kitchen renovation without an extension?

Yes. Standalone kitchen renovations are welcome. Tell us the suburb, what you want to change and whether the layout will stay in place or need building alterations.

Can you remove a wall to create an open-plan kitchen?

We can assess the proposed opening and coordinate structural building work where it forms part of the agreed scope. Whether a wall is load-bearing, how it is supported and what approvals apply must be established before it is removed.

Can we stay at home while the kitchen is renovated?

It depends on the work, access and how safely the construction area can be separated. Discuss cooking, washing up, service interruptions, children and pets before agreeing the programme. A wider renovation may call for different arrangements.

Do we need council approval?

Some minor internal renovations may be exempt if they meet the applicable criteria. Structural changes, heritage constraints and the wider proposal can change the pathway. Check your project before work starts; the NSW Planning Portal explains the approval options.

What if our home is in a strata scheme?

Tell us at the start. Kitchen renovations require strata permission, and structural or other major work has a different process. Share the scheme’s by-laws and speak with your strata manager; see the NSW strata renovation guidance. We assess the building and project requirements before confirming suitability.

Can we renovate the kitchen and bathroom together?

Yes, we can discuss a coordinated scope for both rooms, including the order of work and how you will use the home during construction. Explore our bathroom renovations or whole-home renovation options.

Tell Scott what your kitchen needs to do.

Share your suburb, the room you want to change, your preferred timing and whether you have plans. You can start with a clear brief or a few ideas that need working through.
