The kitchen is usually the busiest room in the house, so a kitchen renovation has to account for more than layout and finishes — it needs to work around plumbing, electrical circuits, gas lines and appliance sizing, often all at once. We plan the sequencing of trades around that complexity so the project runs as one coordinated job rather than a string of separate bookings.
Whatever kitchen renovation Melbourne homeowners are searching for, from full renovations to smaller updates, most projects fall into one of these categories — though we’re always happy to talk through kitchen renovation ideas that don’t fit a standard mould.
Every kitchen renovation starts with kitchen demolition and strip-out, clearing the space for the trades that follow.
We talk through your existing kitchen, requirements and goals.
A kitchen renovation touches more trades than almost any other room in the house — kitchen plumbing, power points and lighting, and often gas for cooktops. Every job at MB Renovations is coordinated through licensed trades, so you’re not managing separate contractors or scheduling conflicts yourself. Where needed, we also include kitchen waterproofing around the sink and dishwasher area, protecting the cabinetry underneath from water damage.
The finishing stages shape how the kitchen actually looks and works day to day. Cabinetry, benchtop and appliance installation come first, followed by kitchen splashback installation and the final detailing. Where the layout allows for one, this is also the stage for kitchen island installation. Our kitchen tiling covers splashback and floor tiling where needed, handled by the same team responsible for the trades and preparation earlier in the project.
Kitchen renovation cost in Melbourne depends on the size of the kitchen, cabinetry and benchtop selection, whether the layout changes, and the scope of plumbing, electrical and gas work involved. Below is an indicative breakdown by stage — your actual quote is itemised for your specific kitchen after a site assessment.

Most kitchen renovations take several weeks from start to finish, and often longer than other rooms in the house — largely because of cabinetry lead times, which can run several weeks between ordering and delivery, on top of the on-site work itself. The exact timeframe depends on scope, layout changes and material availability, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline as part of your quote, so you can plan around it.
Older Melbourne homes were often built with smaller, closed-off kitchens, while newer builds tend to favour open-plan spaces connected to living and dining areas. We check plumbing, electrical and gas access on site before finalising scope, whether we’re working within an existing footprint or opening one up. It’s the kind of hands-on knowledge of kitchen renovations Melbourne-wide that only comes from regular jobs in Brunswick, Brighton, Richmond and St Kilda, among the other service areas we cover. If you’re still gathering house renovation ideas before committing to a kitchen, we’re happy to talk through what’s realistic for your home.
