Kitchens in North Shore, Auckland
23+ years in trade · 2,000+ kitchens supplied & installed across Auckland · Laminex NZ fabricator
The North Shore covers a huge spread of Auckland, from the older bays around Devonport, Belmont and Milford through to the busy family suburbs of Glenfield, Birkenhead and Beach Haven, and out to the newer growth around Albany, Greenhithe, Long Bay and the edge of the Hibiscus Coast. That range means no two kitchens are the same. A 1920s bungalow in Northcote needs a very different approach to a 2018 townhouse off Oteha Valley Road. We build for both.
MTN Kitchens manufactures every kitchen in our own East Tamaki workshop and installs it ourselves, so North Shore homeowners deal with one company, one contract and one invoice from first design to final handover. Because we sell at trade and wholesale pricing with no showroom markup, our prices typically come in well below the usual North Shore kitchen companies, often up to around 20% less, without dropping the quality.
After 23-plus years and more than 2,000 kitchens across Auckland, we're across the bridge regularly and know the Shore well. Free online 3D design, a quote back in 24 hours, and a tidy single install once your benchtop is templated and made.
What we do in North Shore
Family home renovations
From Glenfield and Birkdale through to Forrest Hill and Sunnynook, we replace tired 80s and 90s kitchens with hard-wearing modern layouts built for busy households. Engineered stone tops and easy-clean finishes are the popular pick.
Character and bayside homes
Devonport, Belmont, Milford and Northcote Point have plenty of bungalows and villas where shaker doors and timber accents suit the period. We design to respect the character while giving you a kitchen that actually works day to day.
New builds and developments
Albany, Greenhithe, Long Bay and Millwater see constant new build and townhouse work. We supply and install to programme for owner-occupiers, builders and developers, and our trade pricing keeps multi-unit budgets sharp.
Rentals and landlords
For investment properties across Glenfield, Beach Haven and the wider Shore, we build durable, cost-effective laminate and melteca kitchens that lift a rental quickly with minimal fuss and a fast single install.
Local context
Housing on the North Shore spans almost a century. The older harbourside suburbs, Devonport, Belmont, Bayswater, Northcote Point and parts of Birkenhead, are full of villas, bungalows and weatherboard homes from the early-to-mid 1900s, often with compact original kitchens that owners want opened up and modernised. These jobs reward a careful design eye and finishes that nod to the home's era.
The middle Shore, Glenfield, Sunnynook, Forrest Hill, Wairau Valley and Beach Haven, is dominated by brick-and-tile and timber homes from the 1960s through 1990s. These are the classic family renovations: replacing a closed-in kitchen with an open-plan, island-led layout that connects to the living and the deck. Practical, robust and good value is what most owners here are after.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover the whole North Shore?
Yes. We design, build and install across the entire North Shore, from Devonport, Takapuna and Milford through Glenfield, Birkenhead and Beach Haven, out to Albany, Greenhithe, Long Bay and the edge of the Hibiscus Coast. We service the whole Auckland region from our East Tamaki workshop.
Why are your kitchens cheaper than other North Shore companies?
We manufacture in our own East Tamaki workshop and sell at trade and wholesale pricing with no showroom markup. That often works out up to around 20% less than typical North Shore kitchen companies, while keeping the same quality materials and finishes.
How long does a kitchen take to install?
Once your kitchen is manufactured and the benchtop templated and made, the on-site install is usually a single tidy job over about 5 to 7 days. We supply and install ourselves, so it's one team start to finish, no juggling separate trades.
Can you work with older villas and bungalows in places like Devonport?
Absolutely. Plenty of the older Shore homes have walls that aren't square and original layouts that need rethinking. We custom-build every kitchen, so we design around the quirks and can match shaker and timber styling that suits a period home.
What benchtop and finish options do you offer?
Benchtops run from hard-wearing laminate up to engineered and natural stone, and door finishes include 2-pac, melteca and timber. We'll recommend what suits your home and budget, whether that's a stone-topped family kitchen in Glenfield or a smart laminate refresh for a rental.
