Hi Y'all.
Can anyone in Sydney recommend a kitchen renovator/installer, and point me in the right direction for things like bench tops etc. that I know that many people are fussy about.
I don't know where to start, and I am not too fussy, as long as I get a good quality kitchen that looks good (And will stay looking good for a while - ie resilient).
Maybe I should be on 'Whirlpool' or some other such forum, but I thought that I would start with my mates on OZB who know value for money.
I am not doing the floor tiles as I will do a cover up job on those later.

Thanks. I have sent them a facebook message. deaconstone.com.au’s server DNS address could not be found.
BYO DIY :p
What is your budget? Do you want a full custom kitchen?
Dont know if you are doing the kitchen in a house or unit. But suggest to the floor first as the cabinets are supposed to sit on top. Doing the floor after the cabinet will only look good but not perfect.
I would rather do a package deal. Can chip up a bit of the floor tiles to make room. I cant take them all up as it connects to laundry.
Full kitchen including appliances.
It is an apartment.
I don't really have any clue of budget/costs. As long as I get good value for money, then I suppose I will pay what it takes for a good one.
Our kitchen is now over 20 years old and we went for stainless steel benches with set in sinks and it still looks great. You can sweep all the detritus into the sink and it doesn't get caught around the lip of the sink and get gunk build up. We also have one over sized sink and one smaller sink so we can wash in one and rinse in the other. We have an deeper than normal bench so all the appliances can sit at the back and we just drag them forward when we want to use them. Make sure you have a lot of storage space and a walk in pantry is good as well. We find having pull out drawers for the pots and pans works very well also. Our kitchen is south facing so we put in a glass brick window in the wall which allows us to get daylight onto the benches without also getting heat. Make sure you can work on the benches without casting your own shadow on the work area from the position of the lights. It sounds odd but mime how you are going to use your kitchen and look at the triangle layout between the fridge, sink and cooker. Also make sure your kitchen isn't a thoroughfare from the outside into the rest of the house. We have an L shaped kitchen with one side bench, sink, cooker and the other a wall of cupboards which hides the fridge, microwave, pantry, storage, etc. This works very well but you do need to think about what size appliances you will be able to get into it. The fridge became a bit of a sticking point when the original failed - we had to get a pretty shallow replacement to allow for heat dissipation from the fridge. Lots of power points for lots of appliances. We have a powerboard behind ours now so we can have everything plugged in ready to go.
Whatever you do get a classic look, nothing dates quicker than a kitchen that is "of the period" it was installed. The number of mission brown/burnt orange kitchens we looked at when we were originally renting was truly depressing.
Best of luck with the renovation.
Kitchens are a waste of money. you should invest the money on burial plots and then kill yourself. you wont need a kitchen if you are dead.
that being said kitchens under 2k have good value for money kitchens
