What clients say

I relocated interstate with two dogs and never thought a new home could feel like me, but they took me under their wing, kept me updated the whole way, and let me customise everything from the flooring to the kitchen layout. Genuine, passionate, and a pleasure to deal with.

Common questions

Kitchen renovations in Seddon. Straight answers.

Is my whole street really under heritage protection, or just some houses?

In Seddon, more likely the whole street than not. Seddon is one of Melbourne's most intact heritage precincts, protected as the Seddon Residential and Commercial Heritage Area (HO9). Some streets, like Seddon Street itself, have close to 100% of properties identified as heritage-significant, a far higher rate than most other suburbs where heritage overlays cover scattered pockets. We check your specific address against the HO9 precinct at the site visit, since assuming your home is exempt is a genuine risk here.

Why does Seddon feel so uniform compared to nearby suburbs?

It grew fast, in one go, and has barely changed since. Seddon's residential development happened rapidly after its railway station opened in 1906, with entire streets subdivided and built out within a couple of decades in the Edwardian style. Because the suburb is under one square kilometre with no room for new land, later infill never diluted the original character the way it did in larger, sprawling suburbs. That's what gives Seddon its distinctive 'village feel', and it's also why heritage compliance is so consistently strict here.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Seddon?

Most standard, internal kitchen renovations in Seddon do not require a planning permit. Given how much of the suburb sits inside the HO9 heritage precinct, any structural or external changes are likely to need one. We identify your property's specific status during the site visit and advise you before you commit to anything.

How much does a kitchen renovation in Seddon cost?

A kitchen renovation in Seddon typically runs $25,000 to $55,000. Standard scope (flat-pack cabinetry, laminate benchtop, ceramic tile) starts at $25,000 to $35,000. Mid-spec (semi-custom cabinetry, 20mm stone benchtop, porcelain tile) runs $35,000 to $45,000. Heritage-sensitive detailing required in the HO9 precinct can add to cost. We give you a written fixed-price quote after a site visit, not an estimate from photos.

Are you licensed and insured for kitchen renovations in Seddon?

Yes. gutted. is a VBA registered building practitioner (Victorian Building Authority) and fully insured for domestic building work in Victoria. We provide our registration details before you sign anything.
