5.0 out of 5 stars, based on 25 reviews
Outstanding Service
“Tony and Milan redid my tired old-looking floor and skirting in the whole kitchen area. Their attention to detail, prompt, friendly, value for money and service is A+. It's good to see that they take your job as if it's their own home they are renovating. LOVE YOUR WORK GUYS AND THANK YOU. I highly recommend.”
Kitchen and outdoor renovations
“Fantastic service and fantastic price. We had our outdoor area fully tiled and our kitchen renovated. They talked me through the process step by step, did what they promised in the time they promised, were always on time and so very friendly. They even went out of their way with additional extras, running around Melbourne buying everything I needed to take the pressure off me. Would recommend you give them a try. The pricing is very reasonable and affordable, and nothing was too big for them to do. Father and son service, fantastic team.”

Renovating Kitchens in Epping Homes
Epping combines older brick veneer homes from the 1970s and 1980s in its southern streets with newer estate houses and townhouses further north. The older homes often have a closed kitchen with laminate benches and a small meals area, while the newer houses usually have an open plan kitchen that is now wearing out or lacks storage for a busy household.
That shapes most of our Epping kitchen renovations: removing walls to open older kitchens to the family room, adding island benches and walk-in pantries, replacing worn laminate with stone or engineered benchtops, and improving lighting and power for modern appliances. Most interior kitchen work doesn’t need a planning permit from the City of Whittlesea, and all plumbing, gas and electrical changes are done by licensed trades.

Before You Start
Before You Renovate a Kitchen in Epping
Layout
Closed Kitchens in the Older Streets
The brick veneer homes in Epping’s older streets often have a kitchen closed off from the lounge, with a small meals area and laminate benches. Removing part of the wall to the family room is the change most owners ask about. If the wall carries roof load, it needs a beam and a building permit, which we arrange.
Storage
Storage Where Space Is Tight
Epping kitchens, both older and newer, rarely have enough storage. Deep pot drawers, a walk-in pantry with custom shelving and overhead cupboards to the ceiling make a big difference. Our Epping Kitchen Renovation project used three sets of pot drawers, a walk-in pantry and a concealed bin cupboard to solve exactly this.
Design
Breakfast Bars and Islands
A breakfast bar or island gives Epping families somewhere to eat and work without a separate dining table. Where the room is narrow, a peninsula off the main bench can work better than a freestanding island. We check walkway widths so the kitchen still flows.
Electrical
Old Wiring and Gas Lines
Kitchens in Epping homes from the 1970s and 80s may have old wiring, too few power points and a gas cooktop on an ageing line. Our licensed electricians and plumbers update what is needed while the walls are open, and the finished work comes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety and a plumbing compliance certificate.
Budget
Newer Kitchens in Epping North
Kitchens in Epping North homes built in the 2000s are usually open plan already, but the original cabinetry and laminate tops are often worn. If the layout works, replacing doors, benchtops and appliances while keeping plumbing in place is an efficient way to modernise the room.

Can I see a kitchen you have done in Epping?
Yes. Our Epping Kitchen Renovation project has a two-tone colour scheme, an olive quartz stone benchtop, a walk-in pantry and a 900 mm waterfall-edge breakfast bar. The photos are on the project page, and we are happy to talk about how a similar approach could suit your Epping home.
Do I need a permit to open up my kitchen?
A planning permit from the City of Whittlesea is generally not needed for internal work. Removing or altering a load-bearing wall does need a building permit and an engineered beam. We check the structure at the first visit and organise the permit before work starts.
Should I choose stone or laminate benchtops?
Stone or engineered stone benchtops are popular in Epping kitchen renovations because they are hard wearing and suit both older and newer homes. Laminate is cheaper and has improved a lot. We show you samples and price both options in your quote.
How long does a kitchen renovation take in Epping?
Once cabinetry is made, the work on site usually takes two to four weeks. Older homes can take longer if we find wiring or plumbing that needs replacing. We keep you informed and give a clear timeline in your fixed-price quote.
Should I redo the kitchen in my Epping home before I sell or rent it?
In older Epping houses, kitchens are often original or 1990s updates with laminate tops and limited bench space, while homes in Aurora are newer and usually just need a tidy up. Families buying in Epping often want storage, a pantry and space to eat. Replacing benchtops, adding pot drawers and updating appliances can change the room without moving plumbing. For leasing, check the stovetop, sink and preparation area against Victoria’s rental minimum standards.
