When it comes to transforming your kitchen, one of the first questions that naturally comes to mind is, “How much will it cost?” Renovating a kitchen is a big decision, and we understand that budgets are important. At Hill Built Joinery, we believe in transparency and helping you plan for this exciting project so you feel fully prepared from start to finish.
Stick with us as we break down the typical costs associated with a kitchen renovation and guide you through what factors influence the price, so you can get a better sense of what to expect.
Key factors influencing the cost of your kitchen renovation
- Size and layout of your kitchen The larger the space, the more materials and labour required, which can naturally increase costs. Changing your kitchen layout, such as relocating appliances or plumbing, can also impact the budget as it involves additional work.
- Cabinetry quality and design Custom cabinetry is one of the biggest influences on the overall cost of a kitchen. At Hill Built, we take pride in crafting high-quality cabinets tailored to your needs. The choice of materials (solid wood vs. laminate, for example) and the complexity of the design (like soft-close features or pull-out storage) will also affect the price.
- Benchtops and splashbacks The choice of benchtop material, whether laminate, stone, or marble, will influence both the look and cost of your kitchen. Splashbacks are another essential feature, and options like tiles, glass, or engineered stone each have different price points.
- Appliances and fixtures Upgrading to new appliances can be a significant expense, especially if you’re opting for high-end or built-in models. Fixtures such as taps, sinks, and lighting are also worth considering in your budget as they add to both function and style.
- Labour and installation The level of craftsmanship and expertise in installation directly impacts the final outcome of your kitchen. We handle all cabinetry installation with care, ensuring each piece fits perfectly. For other trades like plumbing or electrical, we can recommend reliable professionals, though we don’t manage these services directly.
How we work with you to stay on budget

Our approach is personal and collaborative, meaning we’ll work closely with you to ensure we deliver a space that aligns with your expectations and stays within your budget.
Transparency is essential to us, so we’ll break down costs clearly and help you understand where you can save without sacrificing quality. For example, if a particular material is beyond budget, we can suggest alternatives that still achieve the look and feel you’re after.
