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 Wallan Homes
Wallan is a growing township beside the Hume Freeway about 45 km north of Melbourne, mixing older brick and weatherboard homes near the town centre with large new estates and acreage properties on the rural fringe. Estate homes usually have open-plan kitchens that are only a few years old but built to a budget, while older homes often have a separate kitchen with original cabinets.
Common Wallan kitchen projects include upgrading builder-grade estate kitchens with better storage, stone benchtops and a butler’s pantry, opening up kitchens in older homes, and improving the link to the alfresco or backyard. Many families also want a large walk-in pantry and a bench layout suited to cooking for a crowd. Most interior kitchen work doesn’t need a planning permit, and we confirm any building permit requirements with Mitchell Shire Council before structural changes.

Before You Start
Planning a Kitchen Renovation in Wallan
Storage
Builder-Grade Estate Kitchens
Many kitchens in Wallan’s newer estates were built from a standard package, with thin laminate doors, few drawers and a small pantry. Replacing the cabinetry while keeping the plumbing and appliance positions is often enough to make the kitchen far more practical. We check what is worth keeping at the first visit.
Layout
Older Township Kitchens
Homes in Wallan’s older streets, many from the 1970s and 1980s commuter growth, usually have a closed kitchen beside a separate meals or lounge room. Opening a wall, if the roof structure allows, can create the open kitchen and family area most owners now want. A load-bearing wall needs a beam and a building permit.
Insulation
Heating an Open-Plan Room
Wallan winters are noticeably colder than inner Melbourne, so a large open kitchen and living area needs to be easy to heat. Insulating external walls while they are open, double glazing a large window and keeping the kitchen out of the main draught path from sliding doors all help.
Electrical
Bottled Gas and Rural Supply
Some rural properties around Wallan cook on bottled gas, while estate homes may be all-electric. That affects whether a gas cooktop, induction or a mix is the better choice. Our licensed plumbers and electricians handle gas lines, new circuits and compliance certificates for whichever you choose.
Estates
Estate Rules and External Changes
Estates such as Wallara Waters have design and siting guidelines for what is built on each lot. A kitchen inside the house is not usually affected, but a new window, a servery to the alfresco or an extension may need to meet those guidelines as well as council rules. We check before design is final.

Will Wallan estate guidelines affect my kitchen renovation?
Usually not for work inside the house. Estate design and siting guidelines in Wallan mostly control what is built and seen from outside. If your kitchen plan includes a new window, external door or extension, it may need to meet them as well as Mitchell Shire Council and building rules. We check your title and guidelines.
Is induction or gas better for a Wallan kitchen?
It depends on what your property has. Some newer homes are all-electric, and induction is fast, easy to clean and avoids gas bottles. If you already have gas and prefer it, our licensed plumbers can relocate or connect a gas cooktop. We can install either.
Can you add a butler’s pantry to our estate home?
Often, yes. A butler’s pantry can sometimes come from part of a large laundry, a walk-in pantry or the space behind the main kitchen wall. It needs good lighting, power for appliances and, if there is a sink, plumbing. We check the floor plan and slab before suggesting where it goes.
Should we redo the kitchen in our Wallan home before selling or leasing?
For a near-new estate home, small changes such as new handles, a better splashback and lighting may be enough. In an older Wallan township home, worn cabinets, poor storage and unreliable appliances are likely to put off buyers and tenants. Start with anything broken or unsafe, then decide whether a refresh or a full renovation makes more sense.
