What we do in Howick

Renovating the classic Howick brick-and-tile

Plenty of Howick homes are solid 1960s-80s brick-and-tile with the original closed-in kitchen. We reconfigure these into open, practical layouts and replace tired cabinetry with durable 2-pac or melteca finishes that suit the home.

New builds and Botany developments

We supply and install kitchens for new homes and multi-unit developments across Botany, Flat Bush and Dannemora, working to your builder's timeline with consistent quality across every unit.

Rentals and landlord-friendly fit-outs

For landlords with rentals around Pakuranga and Howick, we build hard-wearing, easy-clean kitchens at trade pricing that lift the property without overspending on a tenanted home.

Coastal-home and entertainer kitchens

Homes around Bucklands Beach, Mellons Bay and Cockle Bay often call for larger entertainer kitchens with islands and stone benchtops, and we design these to handle the salt-air environment and family living.

Local context

Howick covers a real spread of housing. The older village area and surrounding streets hold a mix of mid-century brick-and-tile, weatherboard homes and the occasional character cottage, while the bays - Cockle Bay, Mellons Bay, Bucklands Beach - have everything from original baches updated over the decades through to large modern coastal homes. Move inland toward Botany, Flat Bush and Dannemora and the stock turns to 1990s-2000s subdivision homes and a steady flow of new townhouses and developments.

That variety means there is no single Howick kitchen. A 1970s brick-and-tile usually has a small, walled-off kitchen that benefits hugely from opening up to the dining and living areas, while newer Botany homes already have the open-plan footprint and just need cabinetry and benchtops that match modern family life. Coastal homes near the water tend to want bigger islands, more storage and stone surfaces that cope with entertaining and sea air.

Popular choices in Howick

  • 2-pac doors in classic white or soft neutrals for brick-and-tile renovations
