Kitchen and bathroom renovations in Auckland
Builder-led, not retailer-led. We take on kitchens and bathrooms where the layout, the services or the structure are changing - walls moving, plumbing and wiring relocating.
If your kitchen is a straight swap into the same footprint, a kitchen company will do it more cheaply than we will. If walls or services are moving, that is our work.

A kitchen that only needs new doors and a benchtop is a cabinetmaker's job. We take on the ones where walls, plumbing, electrical or the ceiling are changing.
- Layout changes, including removing or forming walls
- Relocating plumbing, gas, extraction and power
- Structural work over openings and to island positions
- Flooring, linings, ceilings and the junctions into adjoining rooms
- Coordinating the cabinetmaker, benchtop supplier and appliance fit-out
Bathroom renovations
Bathrooms are small rooms with a lot going on behind the lining. Most of the cost and all of the long-term risk sits in the parts you never see again once it is tiled.
- Full strip-outs, including framing repairs where there has been a leak
- Waterproofing to current standards, with the paperwork to prove it
- Moving wastes, re-setting falls and re-plumbing
- Tiling, ventilation, underfloor heating and fixture installation
- Ensuite additions where the layout and drainage allow it
What has to be decided before we can price it properly
01
Layout
Whether anything is moving, and whether a wall is structural.
02
Services
How far plumbing, waste and power have to travel from where they are now.
03
Cabinetry and fixtures
Who is supplying them, and roughly what level of product you are working to.
04
Finishes
Tile size and type change the labour more than most people expect.
05
Waterproofing scope
Wet area extent, and whether existing substrate can be reused.
06
Hidden condition risk
In an older bathroom, we assume something will be found and we tell you how that is handled.
Living with the work
Losing a kitchen or the only bathroom is the part people worry about, and reasonably so. At the site visit we work out the sequence with you: what gets done first, how long each room is out of action, and whether a temporary setup is worth putting in.
Where a household has two bathrooms, we stage the work so one stays live. Where there is only one, we compress the wet trades and tell you the dates up front rather than as they happen.
