Kitchen Cabinetry & Joinery Sydney

Good cabinetry is the part of a kitchen you touch every day — the doors that close softly, the drawers that glide and the pantry that contains the clutter — so dimensions, hardware and installation details need to be considered together.

What the service covers

Kitchen cabinetry, planned around the room.

Cabinetry is the core of any kitchen — it sets the storage, the proportions and the finish of the whole room. H&R Kitchens plans kitchen cabinets and joinery for homes across Sydney, from doors, drawers, pantries and overheads to integrated appliance cabinetry and soft-close hardware, all made to measure whether it is a full kitchen or a cabinetry-only replacement.

Cabinetry from our workshop

Cabinets, drawers, pantries and panels are made to measure in our workshop and fitted by H&R, for a whole kitchen or a cabinetry-only replacement that keeps a layout that still works.

Price guide

What shapes the cost of kitchen cabinetry.

The main cost drivers are the number and size of the cabinets, the length of the run, the door style and finish, the quality of the hinges and runners, and how much integrated or appliance cabinetry you want — pantries, tall units and concealed bins add to it. We go through these choices at the measure, so the written quote lists the cabinets, finishes and hardware you have chosen.

A short run of new or replacement cabinets (1–3 metres)

Cabinetry for a whole kitchen in melamine
$12,000–$25,000
Cabinetry for a whole kitchen in 2-pac

Typical Sydney prices, supplied and installed, at about $1,200–$2,800 per metre of cabinetry. A planning guide rather than a quote. Reviewed October 2026.

Planning the cabinetry

Plan every cupboard and drawer around what it holds.

Cabinet dimensions, internal storage and hardware decide how well the kitchen works day to day.

Cabinet dimensions and layout

Plan cupboard and drawer dimensions around the room and the appliances. Tall pantry storage, corner access and clear preparation areas need to work together.

Drawers, cupboards and pantry storage

Choose storage by what it needs to hold: deep drawers for cookware, accessible shelves for food and space for everyday appliances. Keep frequently used items close to their work zone.

Fronts, finishes and hardware

Door profiles, board finishes, hinges and drawer runners affect both the appearance and daily use of the kitchen. Confirm those details with the benchtop and appliance specification.

Before you enquire

Kitchen cabinetry questions.

Answers on build times, cabinet-only replacements, door styles and soft-close hardware.

How long does custom kitchen cabinetry take to make and install?

Cabinetry is usually made in our workshop in about 4–8 weeks once the design is confirmed, then usually takes a day or two on site to install. The exact timeline depends on the number of cabinets, the finish and any appliance integration. You get a realistic schedule with your quote.

What is included in kitchen cabinetry and joinery?

It covers the cabinet-making core of the kitchen: doors, drawers, pantries, overhead and tall cabinets, island and appliance cabinetry, plus the soft-close hinges, runners and handles. The cabinetry is made to measure and can be planned as a standalone job or part of a full kitchen.

Can you replace just the kitchen cabinets and keep the rest?

Yes. If the layout still works, we can replace the cabinetry on its own and keep your existing benchtop, splashback or appliances where it makes sense. A cabinetry-only upgrade is a faster, lower-cost way to refresh a tired kitchen.

What cabinet door style and finish should I choose?

Shaker doors suit classic and Hamptons-style kitchens, flat-panel and handleless profiles suit a contemporary look, and finishes range from painted and laminate to timber veneer. We help you weigh durability, cleaning and look against your benchtop and the rest of the home.

Are soft-close hinges and drawers standard?

Soft-close hinges and runners can be specified so doors and drawers close quietly. Heavier drawers and pull-out pantries may need higher-rated runners for the loads they carry; the selected hardware should be recorded in the quote.

Which parts of Sydney do you make kitchen cabinetry for?

Kitchen cabinetry can be made for homes across Sydney, either as a cabinet replacement or a full kitchen. Give us your suburb and a photo of the current cabinets so we can confirm the area and the right starting point.
