Bathroom renovations & carpentry in Newcastle

We take on bathroom renovations, kitchens, carpentry and waterproofing in Newcastle and around Lake Macquarie. Same approach as on the Coast: one carpenter responsible for the framing, the membrane and the finish.

Building in Newcastle: what we plan for

Every area has its own quirks. These are the ones we price in up front.

Mine subsidence districts

Parts of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie sit in mine subsidence districts, where some structural and alteration work needs Subsidence Advisory NSW approval. We check where your property sits before we quote structural changes.

Character homes

Workers' cottages and older weatherboard homes in suburbs like Hamilton, Mayfield and Cooks Hill are rarely square. Renovations there need a carpenter who will pack, plane and scribe rather than force a flat-pack fit.

Coastal exposure

From Merewether to Stockton, salt air is hard on external timber and fixings. Decks and external carpentry are specified for it from the start.

Newcastle questions

Do you work in Newcastle?

Yes. Newcastle and Lake Macquarie are a regular part of our work alongside the Central Coast. Tell us your suburb and the job and we'll confirm.

Can you renovate a bathroom in an older Newcastle home?

Yes. Older homes usually need more carpentry before anything else: levelling floors, straightening walls and replacing tired framing. We price that in up front so it isn't a surprise.
