Design
The foundation of any successful renovation is a well-thought-out design. We focus on creating kitchens that are both beautiful and functional. Australian homeowners are increasingly drawn to open-plan kitchens, which blend effortlessly into living spaces, creating a welcoming environment. Our designers will work with you to select the perfect layout, materials, and appliances to suit your needs and style preferences.
From choosing a U-shaped or galley layout to selecting high-quality finishes and energy-efficient appliances, we ensure your kitchen design meets all relevant building codes and safety standards in Australia. A thoughtful design phase paves the way for a smooth renovation process, reducing the likelihood of unexpected issues down the line.
Removing old kitchen
With a clear design in hand, the next step is to carefully remove existing cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures. Our team takes great care to protect surrounding structures, walls, and plumbing while stripping out the old kitchen. This is crucial in avoiding any unnecessary damage and additional costs.
Working in line with Australian regulations, we ensure that all necessary removals are handled safely and efficiently. If we encounter surprises like outdated wiring or plumbing, we’ll address them early on to ensure your new kitchen is built to the latest standards and regulations.
Building
Once the old kitchen is removed, it’s time to start the building phase. This may involve re-framing walls, adding insulation, or laying down a new subfloor. House Sanctuary Builders adheres to the VIC regulations to ensure every part of the construction process is compliant and up to code.
Our team handles all aspects of this stage with meticulous attention to detail. If minor adjustments are required to ensure everything aligns, we make those changes seamlessly, ensuring the structure is solid and ready for the next steps.
Installing new Kitchen
Cabinet installation is a key step that sets the foundation for the entire kitchen layout. We offer custom and semi-custom cabinets, allowing you to maximise every inch of space. Many of our clients prefer high-end finishes like two-pack painted cabinetry or wood veneers for a timeless look that complements Melbourne’s diverse architecture.
Our expert carpenters handle the installation with precision, ensuring each cabinet aligns perfectly. This step creates a seamless foundation for other installations, like benchtops and splashbacks, setting the stage for a cohesive, polished finish.
The benchtop is both a functional workspace and a focal point. We offer a range of premium materials, from engineered stone to quartz, ensuring your benchtop is not only durable but also suits your design style. Each benchtop is carefully cut and fitted, accommodating your sink, cooktop, and any other custom features you’ve selected.
With House Sanctuary Builders, you can expect a flawless finish, with each benchtop installation executed by experienced stonemasons. We believe the quality of this step can transform the kitchen, elevating it to a space you’ll enjoy for years.
Once the benchtop and cabinetry are in place, it’s time to connect essential services. In Australia, electrical and plumbing work must be done by licensed professionals, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.
We coordinate these connections to align with your design, ensuring everything is easily accessible and meets Australian Standards. From modern lighting solutions to water-saving
plumbing fixtures, we integrate the latest features to enhance convenience and efficiency.
The splashback is an essential part of any kitchen, adding colour, texture, and style. Popular options include glass, tile, and even mirrored splashbacks, each chosen for durability and aesthetic appeal. A well-fitted splashback protects your walls and makes cleaning up after cooking a breeze.
Our professional tilers handle splashback installation with precision, ensuring a seamless fit with no gaps around edges. This step adds a polished look to your kitchen, completing the transformation and adding that final touch of style and functionality.
