How long is my kitchen out of action?

For a typical renovation, two to four weeks from demolition to completion, provided materials are ordered ahead of time. We'll set up a temporary kitchen arrangement with you before we start.

Can I keep my existing layout to save money?

Yes, and it's often the smartest move. Keeping plumbing and gas where they are saves real money. We'll tell you honestly whether a layout change is worth it for your space.

Do you supply appliances or can I use my own?

Either. We can supply and install appliances as part of the package, or work around appliances you've already purchased. We'll just need the specifications during the design phase.

Do I need council approval for a kitchen renovation?

Almost never for a like-for-like renovation. If the project involves structural changes like removing a wall, approval may be needed, and we handle that process for you.

The kitchen carries more of daily life than any other room in the house. When it doesn't work, you feel it every single day. A kitchen renovation with Summerley starts with how you actually use the space: where you prep, where the kids do homework, where everyone ends up when you have people over.

With 45+ years of combined experience across building and kitchen fitting, we handle the full scope. Benchtops, cabinetry, splashbacks, plumbing, electrical, flooring and lighting, all coordinated by one team. You're not chasing a cabinet maker, a plumber and an electrician who've never met.

We'll also be honest about what your space can and can't do. Sometimes moving a wall transforms a kitchen. Sometimes it's wasted money. We'll tell you which is which before you commit.

How it works

The process, step by step

Scope and design

We visit your home, measure the space, and talk through how you use it. Then we design a layout that works, with finishes and appliances selected to suit your budget.

Quote and planning

A detailed, itemised quote with a realistic timeline. We order cabinetry, stone, and appliances before demolition starts so your kitchen isn't out of action longer than it needs to be.

Demolition and trades

The old kitchen comes out, and plumbing, electrical, and plastering are sequenced correctly. We protect the rest of your home and clean up daily.

Fit-out and handover

Cabinetry, benchtops, splashback, appliances, and final finishes installed and inspected. We don't call it done until every drawer, door, and tap works exactly as it should.
