How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Newcastle?
A kitchen renovation in Newcastle typically ranges from $30,000 for a straightforward refresh to $80,000 or more for a full custom fitout with stone benchtops and new appliances. Cost depends on kitchen size, joinery finish, benchtop material, appliances, and any structural or plumbing changes. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after an initial consultation.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
A full kitchen renovation typically takes four to eight weeks on-site once work begins. Custom cabinetry and stone benchtop lead times can extend this, so we plan scheduling around material delivery windows before trades mobilise.
Do you supply the cabinetry and benchtops?
We can handle full supply — cabinetry, benchtops, splashbacks, handles, and appliances — or work with materials you've already selected. We have established relationships with local joinery suppliers and stonemasons in the Hunter region, which typically means better lead times and pricing.
Will I need council approval?
Most kitchen renovations are classified as exempt or complying development and don't require a DA. If structural changes, plumbing relocations, or alterations to load-bearing walls are involved, a CDC or DA may be needed. We'll advise during the quoting stage and manage any submissions on your behalf.
