Services in Kew 3101
In Kew we renovate bathrooms, kitchens and laundries in period and post-war homes, and paint inside and out.
Full bathroom and ensuite renovations for Victorian, Edwardian and contemporary homes: strip-out, repairs behind the walls, waterproofing to the current standard, tiling and fit-out, with plumbing and electrical by licensed trades.
Bathroom renovationsNew kitchens planned around how you cook and store things: layout, cabinetry, benchtops, splashbacks and appliances, installed in the right order so you’re without a kitchen for as short a time as possible.
Kitchen renovationsLaundries with more bench space and storage, from a full room to a laundry in a cupboard, with the wet areas waterproofed before tiling.
Laundry renovationsInterior and exterior painting for Victorian, Edwardian and contemporary homes, with the surfaces patched, sanded and primed first. Under a heritage overlay, painting a surface that hasn’t been painted before can need a planning permit, so we check first.
Interior and exterior paintingNew Class 1 homes and villa units built from the slab to handover, plus Class 10a garages, carports and sheds. New homes are built all-electric from 2027, and we plan for that from the start.
New homesOversight of your building project, trade coordination and photo reports, so you know where the job stands without being on site.
Building supervisionTownhouses and dual occupancy on one block, with fire-separated walls between homes. Two or more homes usually need a planning permit from City of Boroondara first.
Townhouse buildsEvery quote is in writing, with the scope, inclusions and payment stages. Our renovation costs guide explains what drives the price.
Kew
Streets such as Alfred, Rowland, Wellington, Grange and Sackville have a mix of Edwardian, Victorian and contemporary architecture. Studley House (Burke Hall), built in 1857, is on the Register of the National Estate.
Kew borders the Yarra River, so some properties are affected by environmental or flooding overlays.

Questions
City of Boroondara, under the Boroondara Planning Scheme. A free VicPlan planning property report shows the zone and overlays for your address, and the council can tell you whether your project needs a planning permit.
An internal renovation usually doesn’t need a planning permit. If a heritage overlay applies, external changes and demolition generally do. The City of Boroondara’s permit pages and a VicPlan report will confirm it for your address.
