Do I need a renovation or a makeover?
A renovation is worth exploring if you need new cabinetry or a different layout. If the layout works and suitable cabinet interiors can stay, a makeover may give you the update you want. Start with what needs fixing.
Do I need plans before I contact Leon?
No. Photos, your suburb and a short list of changes are enough to start the conversation. Share any plans or measurements you already have. You can work through the direction before choosing every finish.
Can you improve a small kitchen?
A small kitchen can benefit from a better arrangement of storage and working space. Think about what gets in your way now, including appliance doors and crowded benches. The available space will shape the options.
Can I change the layout?
Layout changes can be explored as part of a renovation. Moving a sink or cooking area may involve extra trade work and cost. Mention any wall changes early so the requirements and suitable scope can be established.
Can I keep my appliances?
You may be able to keep appliances that suit the new kitchen. Share their models and dimensions if you can. Their condition, fit and installation arrangements need to be considered before the cabinetry is finalised.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost?
The kitchen size, cabinetry, finishes and extent of layout changes all affect the price. Appliance replacements and related trade work can add to the cost. A quote based on your planned work gives you a useful starting point.
What should I check in the quote?
Check the cabinetry and finishes, appliance arrangements, installation and related trade work. Look for removal, disposal and finishing around the kitchen too. Make sure you understand any exclusions and who needs to arrange those items.
How long will the renovation take?
The schedule depends on your design, supply times and the work required. Planning and ordering happen before installation. Discuss the expected stages for your kitchen, including when facilities will be unavailable, before arranging leave or other commitments.
Will I need to move out?
That depends on the work and how your household can manage without the kitchen. Discuss cooking, washing up and safe access before deciding. Some households can make temporary arrangements; others may need another place to stay during certain stages.
What if something needs to change during the work?
Changes to selections or problems uncovered during removal can affect the work and cost. Before going ahead, establish how proposed changes will be explained and priced, and how you will agree to them.
Can I include a bathroom or laundry?
Bathroom and laundry work is available on its own or together with a kitchen makeover or renovation. Discuss the rooms you want to change with Leon so each has a clear scope. Planning rooms together may help coordinate trades and selections.
