Geelong West Kitchen Renovation Challenges

Period homes in Geelong West often present specific renovation requirements:

  • Small, separate kitchen rooms typical of Victorian and Edwardian floor plans
  • Heritage considerations — some properties sit within heritage overlay areas under the City of Greater Geelong planning scheme
  • Uneven floors and walls common in homes built before 1940, requiring custom cabinetry rather than standard sizes
  • Limited natural light in rear kitchens, requiring design solutions like skylights and reflective surfaces
  • Gas connections and old plumbing that may need upgrading to meet current building standards

These challenges make it essential to work with experienced renovators who understand period home construction. Our Geelong West kitchen specialists assess structural conditions before quoting and plan every detail to avoid costly surprises.
