Bexley is one of the older St George suburbs, and it has a lot of character housing. You get Federation and California bungalows on the tree-lined streets, plenty of double-brick homes from the 30s through the 60s, and full-brick duplexes and the odd block of units mixed through. The kitchens in these homes are often original or only patched up over the years, so they tend to be small, closed off and well past their best, with dated tiles and worn benchtops. Many of these places are solid double-brick, which is built to last but shapes how we go about moving walls. Bexley owners generally want a kitchen that respects a characterful home while bringing it up to date with proper storage, stone and a layout that flows. We are a family-run joinery based in Liverpool, and the St George area is a comfortable run for us. Twelve years in, we run one crew across cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, so you deal with us rather than chasing five separate trades. You get a fixed-price quote with no provisional sums, stone benchtops, soft-close hardware and appliances at trade cost so more of your money lands on what you see and use. Most Bexley kitchens are on site for around three weeks. We strip the old one, sort the services, fit the new cabinetry and stone, tile, paint and hand it back clean and ready to cook in.
We come to your Bexley 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 Bexley 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. Reworking a small kitchen in an older double-brick or Federation home, where solid walls and dated services add work, costs more than a like-for-like swap. 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 too.
Once your cabinets are made and we start on site, a typical Bexley 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. With older Bexley homes we allow for finding dated wiring or plumbing and any double-brick walls, which we plan for rather than getting caught out by. The lead time before we begin depends on cabinet manufacture and your finish choices. With one team across every trade, we are not waiting on outside subbies.
Yes, and we take care to suit the home rather than fight it. Bexley has a lot of Federation and bungalow houses with small, dated kitchens, and the trick is giving you a modern, practical layout with stone benchtops and proper storage while choosing finishes that still feel right in a period home. These houses often hide aged wiring and plumbing behind solid walls, so we plan for that and upgrade what needs it. If the property has heritage controls we work within them. As a licensed NSW contractor we handle the structural and service work properly and stand behind it, so you get a kitchen that is up to date without stripping the character out of the house.
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 and the St George area is a comfortable run, so we are easy to reach. Twelve years in, we have done plenty of character homes and double-brick kitchens around Bexley and the bays. 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.
