Baulkham Hills is one of the older established parts of the Hills, and the housing reflects a long stretch of building. You get original brick homes from the 60s and 70s, big family houses from the 80s and 90s on leafy blocks, and pockets of newer builds and townhouses. The kitchens in the older homes are usually small and closed off, the sort that were built when the kitchen was meant to be hidden away. The 80s and 90s places often have a roomier kitchen but with dated laminate, worn doors and a layout that does not flow into the living area. People here generally want to open things up, modernise the finishes and get the storage and bench space a family needs. We are a family-run joinery based in Liverpool, and Baulkham Hills is a comfortable run for us up the M7. Twelve years in, we run one crew across cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, so you deal with us start to finish rather than lining up five separate trades. You get a fixed-price quote with no provisional sums, stone benchtops, soft-close hardware and appliances bought at trade cost so more of your money lands on what you see and use. Most Baulkham Hills kitchens are on site for around three weeks. We strip the old one, sort the services, fit the new cabinetry and stone, tile the splashback, paint and hand it back clean and ready to cook in.
We come to your Baulkham Hills home, measure every wall and check the plumbing and power before we quote. You get one fixed price covering cabinetry, stone, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting. No provisional sums and no surprise extras turning up halfway through the build.
We settle the layout, door finishes, benchtop stone, handles and appliances together, then order it all at trade cost. Once you sign off, the design is locked so the team builds to an exact spec and nothing drifts on you partway through the job.
Your cabinets are built while we book the trades in the right order. Because it is one team, the plumber, sparky, tiler and painter are all coordinated by us. You get a clear start date and a realistic finish, usually around three weeks on site.
We strip the old kitchen, run new services, fit cabinetry and stone, tile the splashback, paint and connect appliances. Before we leave we clean up and walk you through everything. You get your warranty paperwork and a kitchen ready to use that night.
Most Baulkham Hills kitchens land between $20,000 and $60,000, with the bulk of our jobs in the $25,000 to $45,000 mid-range. What moves the price is the size of the kitchen, the stone you choose, laminate versus two-pac doors, and how much we change the layout. Opening up a small, closed-off kitchen in an older 70s brick home, where we may move plumbing or remove a wall, costs more than a like-for-like swap in a newer place. We give you one fixed-price quote up front with no provisional sums, so the figure you sign is the figure you pay. Buying appliances at trade cost usually claws back a fair chunk of the budget.
Once your cabinets are made and we start on site, a typical Baulkham Hills kitchen takes around three weeks. The first days are demolition and roughing in the plumbing and electrical. Then cabinets go in, the stone is templated and fitted, tiling and painting follow, and we finish by connecting appliances and cleaning up. The lead time before we begin depends on cabinet manufacture and your finish choices, which is why we lock the design in early. Because we run one team across every trade, we are not waiting on outside subbies, so the three weeks stays tight and predictable rather than dragging out on the job.
Yes, that is a big part of what we do out that way. A lot of the older homes in Baulkham Hills have kitchens stuck in the 70s or 80s: dark timber doors, worn laminate bench and a poky, closed-off layout. We strip it back and rework it with stone benchtops, fresh cabinetry, soft-close hardware and a layout that flows into the meals and living area, often by opening or widening a wall. We check what is load-bearing and what services run through before we commit to any structural change. The result is a kitchen that suits how people actually live now. As a licensed NSW contractor we do the structural and service work properly and stand behind it.
We are a family-run business, not a franchise, so you deal with the same people from quote to handover. We are based in Liverpool, so Baulkham Hills is a straightforward run up the M7 and we are never far away. Twelve years in, we have modernised plenty of older Hills kitchens and upgraded newer ones. One team covers cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, so there is no chasing five contractors and no finger-pointing when something needs coordinating. You get a fixed-price quote, trade-cost appliances, a roughly three-week build, and a licensed NSW contractor standing behind every part of the work.
