Kitchen RenovationRevesby

Revesby, in the Canterbury-Bankstown local government area, built up mostly through the 1940s to 60s as post-war brick bungalows and fibro cottages went up around the railway station and the shops along the commercial strip near Marco Avenue. A kitchen renovation Revesby owners ask for typically starts from the same layout: a narrow galley kitchen tacked onto the back of the house, small windows, and cabinetry that’s had at least one previous update done on the cheap.

Blocks in Revesby tend to be smaller than in the shire suburbs further south, which usually means the renovation works within the existing footprint rather than pushing walls out. A common kitchen renovation Revesby brief is widening the galley into an L-shape or adding a small island where space allows, along with new windows or a glazed door to bring more light into what was often a dim, closed-in room.

Plenty of the original brick homes in Revesby are still owned by the family that built or bought them in the 1960s, and a kitchen renovation Revesby job for these owners is often the first significant update the house has had since. That means we frequently find original wiring and galvanised plumbing behind the cabinetry that needs upgrading as part of the build rather than being left in place, which we allow for in the quote once we’ve opened the walls up and confirmed exactly what’s there.

Older housing stock close to the station

A number of the original fibro cottages in Revesby have already been through a knockdown-rebuild or a substantial extension, so we regularly work on both the original 1950s brick shell and newer additions on the same street. Where the house is still original fibro, we check for asbestos sheeting before any demolition starts, which is standard practice on renovations of this era and gets factored into the fixed quote up front rather than added as a surprise later.

Being close to the station and the commercial strip generally makes trade access and parking straightforward, though some streets have permit parking during the day, so we confirm loading arrangements at the design consult rather than assuming.

For the growing number of townhouses and villa units around Revesby, a kitchen renovation Revesby strata owners want usually needs body corporate sign-off before work starts, particularly if we’re touching shared plumbing risers or exhaust ducting.
