What Our Clients Say
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 Pascoe Vale Homes
Pascoe Vale has a mix of interwar bungalows, post-war brick and weatherboard homes and newer townhouses, generally on wide suburban blocks with established gardens. The original kitchen in these homes is usually a separate room with a small meals area, a single window over the sink and limited cupboard space, often with the laundry or back door leading off it.
That shapes most Pascoe Vale kitchen renovations: removing walls to join the kitchen with living and dining areas, designing an island and pantry that work for a busy family, updating old wiring and plumbing behind the walls, and adding doors to the backyard. Most interior kitchen work doesn’t need a planning permit from Merri-bek City Council, and our licensed trades provide compliance certificates.

Before You Start
Before You Renovate a Kitchen in Pascoe Vale
Layout
Kitchen and Meals Room
The typical 1950s Pascoe Vale kitchen opens into a small meals area, with a formal lounge on the other side of a wall. Removing that wall, or widening the opening, creates the open-plan space most families now want. If the wall carries roof or ceiling load, a beam and a building permit are generally needed, and we include them in the quote.
Access
Laundry and Back Door Traffic
In many post-war Pascoe Vale homes, the back door and laundry lead straight off the kitchen, so the family walks through the cooking area to reach the yard. Moving the laundry or the back door during the renovation can free a whole wall for benches and storage. We look at how the house is used before we draw a layout.
Outdoor
Opening to the Backyard
Pascoe Vale blocks often have generous backyards, but the kitchen usually has just one window over the sink. Replacing a wall with sliding or stacking doors connects the kitchen to outdoor living. The floor of these homes is often raised above the yard, so a deck or landing outside is usually planned at the same time.
Electrical
Wiring in Post-war Homes
Kitchens in 1950s homes were built for a fridge, an upright stove and not much else. Original wiring, ceramic fuses and small switchboards are still found in parts of Pascoe Vale. A new kitchen with an induction cooktop, oven and dishwasher often needs new circuits and safety switches. Our licensed electricians provide a Certificate of Electrical Safety.
Storage
Townhouse Kitchens on Subdivided Blocks
Newer townhouses in Pascoe Vale often have open-plan kitchens that are short on storage and bench space. A renovation might extend the island, add a walk-in pantry under the stairs or replace builder-grade cabinets. If the townhouse is part of an owners corporation, we check whether approval is needed for the works.

Kitchen Renovations MelbourneCan the wall between my kitchen and lounge come out in a 1950s Pascoe Vale house?
Usually, yes. In post-war brick homes this wall often supports ceiling joists, so a beam may be needed and the work generally needs a building permit. We check the roof and ceiling framing at the first visit and include engineering and permit costs in your detailed fixed-price quote, so there are no surprises later.
Do I need a permit from Merri-bek for a kitchen renovation?
Interior kitchen work generally doesn’t need a planning permit. A building permit may be needed for structural changes such as removing a load-bearing wall. Few Pascoe Vale homes are in a Heritage Overlay, but we still check your property’s planning controls with Merri-bek City Council before work starts.
Can I switch from a gas cooktop to induction?
Yes. Many Pascoe Vale homes still cook on gas, and switching usually means a dedicated circuit for the cooktop and sometimes a switchboard upgrade. A licensed plumber caps the old gas line safely. We plan this during the design so the electrical work is ready when the new kitchen goes in.
Can I keep the kitchen where it is and just update it?
Yes, and it often keeps the cost down. Keeping the sink and cooktop in place avoids moving plumbing and gas, while new cabinets, benchtops, splashback and lighting can transform the room. In compact post-war kitchens, smarter storage such as deep drawers and corner fittings makes a big difference.
Will updating my kitchen help when I sell or rent out my Pascoe Vale home?
Pascoe Vale attracts families and renters looking for a house with a yard close to the Craigieburn line. Post-war kitchens here are often small and closed off, with original cabinets or a 1980s update. A practical refresh with new benchtops, doors, a rangehood and reliable appliances tends to suit local buyers better than knocking out walls. If leasing, confirm the stovetop, sink and food preparation area meet Victoria’s rental minimum standards.
