Kitchens in Stonefields, Auckland | MTN Kitchens
23+ years in trade · 2,000+ kitchens supplied & installed across Auckland · Laminex NZ fabricator
Stonefields is a short run up the Mt Wellington Highway from our East Tamaki workshop, so when you go with MTN Kitchens you are dealing with a local manufacturer that builds and installs its own cabinetry - not a showroom that marks up the price and subcontracts your job out.
We have made and fitted more than 2,000 kitchens across Auckland in 23+ years, and because we are a Laminex NZ fabricator buying at trade and running our own factory, you get the same quality the big showrooms sell without the showroom margin on top. What you save is real money, not a discount off an inflated sticker price.
Everything is handled in-house: a free online 3D design so you can see the layout before you commit, a firm quote back to you within 24 hours, and our own Site Safe install team on site once your cabinetry is built - usually a 5 to 7 day turnaround from delivery to a finished kitchen.
What we do in Stonefields
Upgrading the original builder-grade kitchen
Most Stonefields homes went up from 2011 onward with a standard developer-spec kitchen. A decade-plus on, those melamine cabinets and laminate tops are looking tired. We replace them with proper 2-pac or Melteca finishes and a benchtop that lifts the whole space, working to the same footprint so it is a clean, fast swap.
Adding a butler's pantry or scullery
The larger standalone homes off Grand Drive and Tihi Street often have the room for a hidden scullery but were never fitted with one. We design and build butler's pantries that take the mess and the small appliances out of sight, keeping the main kitchen and island clean for entertaining.
Reworking terrace and townhouse kitchens
The terraces and duplexes through Stonefields tend to run a narrow galley or a compact L. We are good at making tight footprints work harder - full-height pantries, drawer banks instead of cupboards, and integrated appliances so a small kitchen still feels considered rather than cramped.
Island and benchtop replacements
Plenty of owners here don't need a full gut - they want the island reworked, the laminate tops replaced with engineered stone, and new fronts on solid carcasses. We do that too, matching new cabinetry into what is already there so it reads as one kitchen, not a patch job.
Local context
Stonefields is one of Auckland's newest suburbs - a master-planned community built on the old Winstone quarry at the foot of Maungarei / Mt Wellington. The whole area was developed from around 2011, so the housing stock is genuinely modern: standalone homes, terraces and apartments laid out across neighbourhoods like Rowena, College Rise and the streets running off Grand Drive and Stonefields Avenue.
Because it all went up in the same era, the kitchens tend to share the same story - decent bones with builder-spec finishes that are now ten to fifteen years old. That is the sweet spot for a renovation: the layout usually works, but the melamine fronts and laminate benchtops are ready to be brought up to the standard the rest of the home deserves.
Stonefields sits handy to Mt Wellington, St Johns, Meadowbank, Ellerslie and Remuera, with Sylvia Park just down Mt Wellington Highway. For us that is a straightforward 15 to 20 minute drive from the East Tamaki factory, which keeps delivery, measuring and install simple - no long hauls across the city between our workshop and your home.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Stonefields and the surrounding suburbs?
Yes. Stonefields is an easy 15 to 20 minutes from our East Tamaki workshop, and we cover Mt Wellington, St Johns, Meadowbank, Ellerslie, Remuera, Panmure and the whole of Auckland.
Our Stonefields home already has a builder-grade kitchen - is it worth renovating?
Usually, yes. Most homes here were built from 2011 with developer-spec finishes that are now well over a decade old. The layout often works fine, so replacing the cabinetry and benchtop gives you a high-end kitchen without moving plumbing or structure - which keeps the cost and the timeline down.
Can you fit a butler's pantry or scullery?
Absolutely. It is one of the most popular upgrades in the larger Stonefields standalones. If the room is there we design a scullery that hides the prep and the small appliances, and keeps your main kitchen and island clean for entertaining.
How long does the whole job take?
Once your design is locked in we build your cabinetry in our own factory, then our Site Safe team installs it - typically a 5 to 7 day turnaround from delivery to a finished kitchen. We give you a firm quote within 24 hours of the design being agreed.
Why are you cheaper than the showrooms?
We manufacture in our own East Tamaki workshop and buy at trade as a Laminex NZ fabricator, so there is no showroom overhead or middle-man markup. You get the same quality finishes at the trade price rather than a marked-up retail one.
Can I see the kitchen before I commit?
Yes - our free online 3D designer lets you build the layout and try different finishes, benchtops and colours before you spend a cent. It is the best way to get a feel for the space, and we can refine it with you before quoting.
