Beautiful Kitchen Renovations in Geelong from Victoria's No 1 Rated Renovation Company

There's no firm answer to that question, but we've got a page that goes into how much a kitchen costs that'll give you a very good idea.

No two kitchens are the same. For example, a kitchen renovation involving the removal of walls and replacement of the flooring will take longer than a project involving the replacement of cabinets, benchtops and splashback. Other considerations include plastering, painting and flooring, which are often completed after the installation.

As a general guide, most renovations take around three weeks to get to the point where you will be able to start using your new kitchen.

Always be aware that a kitchen renovation is a major disruption to a household (and walk away from any provider who tries to tell you otherwise). We make it our priority to keep the process as smooth, quick and hassle-free as possible. 

When you renovate with Rosemount you get a dedicated project manager who will keep you updated at regular pre-agreed intervals, and who you can contact directly at any time. We understand the importance of good communication during a renovation - there are few things more frustrating than not knowing what's going on or what's about to happen. We ensure our clients never find themselves in that position.

Renovation companies can often disappear as quickly as they appear, so make sure the one you choose has a track record. 

If the business has been trading for several years, has at least one showroom and lots of positive reviews on independent websites, that’s an encouraging sign.

Rosemount Kitchens has been trading since 2010. We have three showrooms in Oakleigh, Nunawading and Essendon. Our owners, staff and sub-contractors have worked in the industry for more than 20 years.

Also, make sure you choose a business that has a clear and documented process, from consultation and design to quoting and installation. Ask if there is a timeline with milestones as well as a start and end date. Be wary of operators who provide vague answers to these questions - you run a higher risk of the project being delayed or derailed because of a lack of planning and organisation.

Rosemount uses a proven start-to-finish process that includes clear and regular communication with our clients. You have a designated point of contact to speak to at any time.

One of the most important parts of planning a renovation is to check your company has the licences legally required to carry out work in your home. 

For any kitchen, bathroom or laundry renovation that costs over $10,000, the business or tradesperson you engage must be a Registered Building Practitioner with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) and enter into a Domestic Building Contract with you. When the job is above $16,000, they must provide you with Domestic Building Insurance (DBI). The company takes this out for you and, prior to signing, must provide you with a Certificate of Currency.

This is so important. If you use an unregistered builder or tradesperson, you risk having no protection from poor quality work, or if the project falters. The work will also not be covered by Domestic Building Insurance.

Rosemount is a Registered Building Practitioner (Licence No: CDB-L 48241). We are approved by the VMIA to purchase Domestic Building Insurance on behalf of our clients.

We use Domestic Building Contracts, and our staff and tradespeople hold all necessary licenses.

Cabinets, benches, fittings and accessories supplied by Rosemount Kitchens come with a 10-year warranty. Blum hinges and drawer runners are guaranteed for the life of the product, while other accessories are guaranteed for at least one year.

Absolutely. One of our core values at Rosemount is to make sure clients are 100% happy with their new kitchen. So you can be sure that if there are any unexpected issues, we will work with you until they are solved and you are happy.

This is something other companies might not tell you, but in a project as large and complex as a kitchen renovation there is sometimes human error. Mistakes are uncommon, but they happen from time to time.

In instances like this, our clients tell us it’s how the company deals with the issue – not the issue itself – that matters most. And we will always rectify any issues and won’t leave a property until the client is 100% happy.
