Your renovation, step by step

Leon's approach to kitchen renovations

01

Start with what needs to work better

Tell Leon what frustrates you about your kitchen. It might be a crowded bench, awkward cupboards or a layout that makes cooking difficult. Those everyday problems help shape the plan, so your new kitchen does more than change the look.

02

Plan the kitchen around you

Work through the layout, new cabinetry and storage you need. Bring ideas you like and mention appliances you want to keep. Leon helps you explore what suits the space and how your choices will work together.

03

Put your budget into the right changes

Share your budget early and separate the essentials from the extras. The size of the kitchen, finishes and work involved affect the price. Work through what's included in the quote so you can decide which changes matter most.

04

Prepare for the work at home

Before work starts, discuss the schedule and when your kitchen will be unavailable. Allow for planning and ordering as well as installation. Leon can talk through the proposed work with you, including what you need to arrange for meals and access.

Questions about your kitchen renovation

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.
