5 Best Kitchen Remodeling in Sydney (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

A kitchen renovation touches plumbing, electrical, cabinetry and often strata approval all at once, which is exactly where a cheap quote turns into a blown budget. Every kitchen remodeling contractor in Sydney on this page holds a rating of at least 4.8, with barely a fifth of a star separating the top name from the bottom, so the real gap between them isn't quality, it's how many jobs each one has actually logged, from 61 reviews up to 193.

Short answer: Luke's Renovations ranks first with a 4.8 rating across 193 reviews, though its review history leans toward bathroom work rather than kitchens specifically. For projects genuinely centered on the kitchen, Sydney Budget Kitchens (4.8, 111 reviews) publishes bathroom packages from $17,000 plus GST as a price anchor, and Revive Kitchens & Bathrooms (5.0, 91 reviews) has zero reviews below five stars.

Our take: It ranks first on the strength of a 4.8 rating across 193 reviews, the largest volume here, but every review we could find describes bathroom work specifically. If a kitchen is your actual project, ask to see kitchen-specific examples before booking.

What people praise

Perfect 5.0 rating across 108 reviews
Repeatedly praised for managing strata approvals, described by one reviewer as usually the hardest part

Our take: A perfect 5.0 rating, but its reviews describe whole-apartment renovations rather than kitchen-only jobs, so expect a larger scope and budget than a kitchen-specific specialist. Good fit if you want the kitchen done as part of a bigger renovation, not on its own.

Belal and Mouemen named repeatedly for treating jobs with unusual attention to small details

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many past clients actually left feedback, which matters on a project this expensive to get wrong. Confidence blends rating and volume, since a perfect score on 61 reviews carries different weight than a 4.8 on 193. Recency checks how current the reviews are. No contractor on this page paid for its position.

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Sydney? (2026)

Kitchen renovation costs in Sydney swing hugely on layout changes, cabinetry material and appliance grade, and most of these five don’t publish a flat kitchen price. One data point we do have: Sydney Budget Kitchens lists its bathroom renovation packages starting from $17,000 plus GST on its own site, which gives a rough sense of the lower end of a full-room renovation in this market, even though it’s a bathroom rather than kitchen figure.

Job	Typical price
Bathroom renovation package (from, published by Sydney Budget Kitchens)	$17,000+ GST

Published pricing from Sydney Budget Kitchens’ own website, verified July 2026. Kitchen-specific pricing wasn’t published by any business on this page; get an itemized quote before committing.

Across Sydney’s kitchen renovation market

These five range from St Peters and Chippendale near the inner south, to Sydney CBD apartments, and out to Lane Cove and the Lane Cove Council area. If you’re in an apartment with strata rules to work through, Mr and Mrs Elias and Revive both have specific reviews describing that process; further from the CBD, Sydney Budget Kitchens and TCQE cover a wider metro radius.

What to ask before you hire a kitchen remodeler

Can you show me photos of kitchens specifically, not just bathrooms or full renovations?
What’s included in the quoted price, and what counts as a variation?
Who handles strata approval if I’m in an apartment?
What’s the realistic timeline from demolition to a usable kitchen again?
What warranty applies to cabinetry, benchtops and fittings?
Will the same project manager be on site throughout, or does it change?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five?

We compared renovation contractors listed for kitchen remodeling in Sydney with a real Google track record, then ranked them on a blend of rating, review volume, and how current the reviews are.

How often is this updated?

We refreshed this page in July 2026 using live Google data. Check each business’s own listing for its current rating before requesting a quote.

Why do some of these contractors mostly have bathroom reviews?

Several businesses on this page are listed for both kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and their most recent reviews happen to describe bathroom projects. Ask to see kitchen-specific examples before booking if that’s your project.

Is the cheapest quote usually the best option?

Not necessarily. A kitchen renovation involves plumbing, electrical and structural work that’s expensive to redo, so a contractor’s track record and communication matter as much as the headline price.

The bottom line

If your project is genuinely kitchen-focused, Sydney Budget Kitchens and Revive Kitchens & Bathrooms have the most directly relevant reviews of the five. Luke’s Renovations has the strongest overall numbers, but confirm it has recent kitchen work to show you before you sign anything.
