How long does a kitchen or laundry renovation usually take?

Most kitchen and laundry renovations take around 3–6 weeks, depending on the size of the project and the availability of materials. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.

Do I need to organise my own tradies?

No - we manage all licensed trades for you, including plumbers, electricians, builders, plasterers, tilers and installers. You’ll have one point of contact and we coordinate everything behind the scenes.

Can I still use my kitchen or laundry during the renovation?

There may be periods where the space is out of action, especially when plumbing or electrical work is being completed. We’ll talk you through what to expect and help you plan so the disruption is as minimal as possible.

Can you help with layout and product choices?

Yes - we can guide you on practical layout options, cabinetry styles, benchtop materials, appliances, and smart storage solutions. We’ll help you choose products that suit your lifestyle, budget and the needs of a Kiwi home.

Do I need building consent for my renovation?

In most cases, kitchen and laundry renovations don’t require building consent unless you’re moving plumbing, altering structural walls, or making significant changes. We can advise you on what’s needed and handle any consent requirements if they apply.

How long does a bathroom renovation usually take?

Most bathroom renovations take around 3–4 weeks, depending on the scope of work and product availability. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we begin and keep you updated throughout.

Do I need to organise my own tradespeople?

No — we coordinate all licensed trades, including plumbers, electricians, tilers, and waterproofers. You’ll have one point of contact and we handle the rest.

Can I still use my bathroom during the renovation?

In most cases the bathroom will be out of action for part of the project, but we’ll plan ahead with you so the disruption is manageable. If you have only one bathroom, we’ll discuss practical options.

Can you help with design and product selection?

Yes — we can guide you on layout, fittings, tiles, colours and current trends, and recommend products that suit your style and budget.

What will my renovation cost?

Costs vary based on size, materials, and how much work is required. We provide transparent quotes and can suggest ways to achieve the look you want while staying within budget.

Better Value, Better Experience.
