Hurstville sits at the heart of the St George area and has changed a lot, which shows in its kitchens. There is a strong base of solid full-brick homes from the 40s through to the 70s on the established streets, alongside a major cluster of newer apartment towers around the station and town centre. The older homes usually have dated kitchens, often closed off, ready to be modernised and opened to the living areas. The apartments tend to have compact developer kitchens with flat-pack cabinetry where the win is a smarter layout, better storage and a quality stone benchtop within a fixed footprint. We are a family-run joinery based in Liverpool servicing Sydney-wide, and Hurstville is part of our regular St George run across 12 years in the trade. What helps on both house and apartment jobs is that we run one team across cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, so you are not coordinating five separate contractors, which is especially handy in a busy strata building with one shared lift. We measure, then give you a fixed-price quote with no provisional sums, so the number is real from the start. As a licensed NSW contractor the trade work is signed off properly and we provide the documentation strata managers ask for. Because we buy appliances at trade cost, your budget goes further on stone and cabinetry. Most Hurstville kitchens are on site for around three weeks, start to finish.
We come to your Hurstville home or apartment, measure up and check the plumbing and power. You get one fixed price covering every trade with no provisional sums. In a strata building we also confirm lift bookings, work hours and common-area protection before locking anything in.
We settle the layout, door finishes, benchtop stone, handles and appliances, then order everything at trade cost. Once you sign off the design is fixed. In a compact apartment kitchen, this planning is what turns a tight footprint into a layout that actually works.
Cabinetry is built while we coordinate the trades in order. One in-house team means the plumber, electrician, tiler and painter are all ours, which matters in a building with one shared lift. You get a firm start date and a realistic finish, usually around three weeks.
We remove the old kitchen, run new services, fit cabinetry and stone, tile, paint and connect appliances. We protect common areas in apartment buildings, clean up thoroughly, walk you through everything and hand over your warranty paperwork.
Most Hurstville kitchens land between $20,000 and $60,000, with typical jobs in the $25,000 to $45,000 mid-range. Size drives a lot of it, along with stone choice, laminate versus two-pac doors and layout changes. Apartment kitchens near the station are often compact, so the spend goes into clever joinery and quality finishes rather than square metres, while the older full-brick homes can cost more if we open the kitchen up to the living area. We quote one fixed price with no provisional sums, so there are no surprises once we start. Trade-cost appliances also help your budget go further on stone and cabinetry.
Once cabinets are manufactured and we begin on site, a typical Hurstville kitchen takes around three weeks. We demolish first, rough in plumbing and electrical, fit cabinetry, template and install the stone, tile the splashback, paint and connect appliances. In apartment buildings the strata work-hour rules can shape the daily schedule, but the overall timeline holds. The lead time before we start depends on cabinet manufacture and your finish choices. Because we run one team across every trade, we are not waiting on outside subbies, so the build stays tight rather than stalling between contractors in a busy building.
Yes, and we do plenty around the station and town centre. Strata buildings have rules about approved work hours, lift access, protecting lobbies and corridors, and giving neighbours notice, so we handle the building manager and owners corporation requirements before starting. Apartment kitchens are usually galley or one-wall layouts where the goal is more bench and storage without touching the waterproofed wet areas, which cannot legally be moved. We will be upfront about what can and cannot change in your unit. As a licensed NSW contractor we supply the documentation strata managers require, which keeps your approval moving and avoids delays.
We are a family-run business, so you deal with the same people throughout. Twelve years of kitchens means we are comfortable in both Hurstville's newer high-rise apartments and the older full-brick homes nearby. One team handles cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, which is a real advantage in a strata building where coordinating five separate trades through one lift is a headache. You get a fixed-price quote with no provisional sums, appliances at trade cost, a roughly three-week build and a licensed NSW contractor backing the work. We are Liverpool-based but service Sydney-wide, and the St George area is a regular run for us.
