Kitchen renovations
Kitchen renovations for Vaucluse homes.
Vaucluse combines large houses in garden settings with older period homes and a good share of apartments, so the access and approval checks differ from one street to the next.
In the larger houses the kitchen is often the centre of an open living and entertaining area, so island scale, appliance integration and a butler's pantry are planned with the whole room. In apartments, the building's strata process and access shape the job.
Butler's pantries and sculleries
A scullery planned with the main kitchen keeps appliances, preparation and storage out of sight while the island stays clear for entertaining.
Apartment kitchen renovations
Accurate cabinet widths and full-height storage for a fixed room, with installation following the building's approved access.

I highly recommend H&R Kitchens to anyone looking for exceptional service and high-quality workmanship. From start to finish, the entire experience was professional, smooth, and stress-free. The staff were incredibly friendly, approachable, and helpful, and the level of customer service was outstanding throughout the whole process. Their pricing is very fair and reasonable, especially considering the excellent quality of their work and attention to detail. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in delivering a high standard of service. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with H&R Kitchens and couldn’t be happier with the quality, service, and value they provided. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and trustworthy kitchen company.

How it works
How a Vaucluse kitchen renovation runs.
01
Measure and plan
We measure on site, then settle the layout, storage, surfaces and appliances with you. Usually about 2–6 weeks.
02
Made in our workshop
Your cabinetry is made to the confirmed measurements before the old kitchen comes out. Usually about 4–8 weeks.
03
Removal and installation
We remove the old kitchen and install the new cabinetry, with the plumbing and electrical work sequenced around it. Usually about a week on site.
04
Benchtops, splashback and handover
Stone and porcelain benchtops are templated once the cabinets are fixed, then the splashback and final adjustments follow. Usually about 1–2 weeks.
Before you enquire
Kitchen renovation questions for Vaucluse.
Do I need council approval to renovate a kitchen in Vaucluse?
It depends on the property and the work. Replacing internal cabinetry is different from structural changes or work on a heritage item or in a conservation area, so check the property with Woollahra Council or a planning certificate before the design depends on it.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost?
As a planning guide, a smaller replacement with limited layout changes typically costs around $25,000–$35,000, a more involved renovation with upgraded cabinetry and finishes $35,000–$60,000, and complex, high-specification work $60,000–$100,000 or more. The layout, the amount of cabinetry, the benchtop and splashback materials, appliances and any plumbing or electrical changes make the difference. Your written quote is based on your measured room.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
A typical full kitchen renovation takes about 10–14 weeks from the first measure to handover. Most of that is design and making the cabinetry in our workshop; you are usually without a working kitchen for about 2–4 weeks while the old kitchen comes out, the new one goes in and the benchtops and splashback are fitted. Your quote includes a schedule for your kitchen.
Can you change the kitchen layout or add an island?
Often, yes. We check the room, the walkways and where the plumbing, gas and power run, then show you what moving the sink or cooktop, or adding an island, would involve before you decide.
Do you make the kitchen yourselves?
Yes. H&R Kitchens designs the kitchen with you, makes the cabinetry to your measurements in our Guildford workshop and installs it, so one team is responsible from the measure to the final adjustment.
