Kitchen renovations Melbourne West: who this stone & benchtop installation suits

A new benchtop is one of the fastest ways to lift a kitchen, and since the 2024 engineered-stone rules changed the materials on offer, choosing the right slab matters more than ever. We template, fabricate and install benchtops in porcelain, sintered stone, natural granite and marble, solid timber and low-silica alternatives.

Tell us the rough length of your cabinetry run, the material you are leaning towards and your suburb. We template the run, fabricate the slab and install it with the edge profile, returns and cut-outs you have chosen.

Benchtop jobs across Melbourne West depend on accurate templating, safe material selection and clean access for heavy slabs. We confirm the support, joins, cut-outs, overhangs and current silica-compliant options before fabrication so the install day stays controlled.

Kitchen renovation services in Melbourne West: what our stone & benchtop installation covers

Benchtop work is quoted once we confirm the run and the material. These are the steps and inclusions we cover as standard from template to install.

Material selection

Porcelain, sintered stone, granite, marble, solid timber, laminate or low-silica engineered stone under 1% crystalline silica.

Template and fabrication

We template the cabinet run precisely, then the slab is fabricated off site to that template.

Installation

Levelled and bedded onto the cabinetry, with mitred returns and shaped overhangs as designed.

Edge profiles

A 20mm reveal (the visible front edge thickness), a mitred waterfall, or an eased or pencil edge to suit the kitchen.

Cut-outs

Sink, cooktop, tapware and power cut-outs templated and finished to the manufacturer tolerances.

Sealing and care

Natural stone is sealed on install with a care brief; porcelain and sintered stone arrive ready to use.

Stone & Benchtop Installation questions

What benchtop materials can I use now that engineered stone is banned?

Engineered stone with 1% or more crystalline silica has been banned for manufacture, supply, processing and installation across Australia since 1 July 2024. We now guide homeowners toward porcelain and sintered stone, natural stone, laminate, stainless steel, solid timber and compliant low-silica alternatives.

Can I keep my existing engineered stone benchtop?

Yes. Existing engineered-stone benchtops installed before 1 July 2024 are grandfathered and do not have to be removed. If we need to remove or modify one during a renovation, the work has to be done using silica-safe procedures in line with current guidance.

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Melbourne West?

Cost depends on the scope, cabinetry detail, benchtop material and whether the layout changes. A makeover that keeps the existing footprint costs much less than a full rebuild with custom joinery and structural work. After the measure-up we prepare an itemised written quote so you can see where the budget goes before any work starts.

How long does a kitchen renovation take?

A standard full kitchen renovation usually runs around 6 to 12 weeks from contract to handover. Cabinetry and benchtop fabrication often takes 4 to 6 weeks, then the on-site stage usually takes 2 to 4 weeks for demolition, install, plumbing, electrical and finishing. A makeover is generally quicker.

What does a kitchen makeover include compared with a full renovation?

A makeover keeps the existing layout and sound cabinet boxes and updates the visible elements such as the doors, benchtop, splashback and hardware. A full renovation replaces the cabinetry and can change the layout, plumbing and electrical. A makeover costs less and usually finishes faster.
