New Kitchens
A new kitchen in Wollongong is usually one of two jobs. Either the kitchen in an established home is being replaced and the layout has to change with it, or a new build needs a better kitchen than the one drawn on the plan. Both start the same way. We measure on site, draw it in 3D so you can see it before anything is cut, then machine the whole kitchen at our Huskisson workshop and bring it up as a finished set. Cabinetry, benchtops, islands, pantries and appliance housings, built to your room rather than to a standard module.

Renovating a kitchen in an established home usually means the layout is part of the job, not just the doors. Whether a wall can come out, what that does to the ceiling and where the sink and the stove end up are worth settling before anything is drawn. Ashbrook is builder owned, so we can tell you at the first measure what is structural and what is not, and price the joinery around the answer instead of around a guess.
The cabinetry is where a kitchen is won or lost. Carcasses cut on the CNC to the millimetre, drawers sized for what actually goes in them, corners used instead of wasted, and hardware rated for the weight it carries. Every component is machined at Huskisson and the set is checked before it leaves, so what arrives in Wollongong is a complete kitchen rather than a delivery with pieces to follow.
A custom kitchen earns its keep when the room will not take a standard one. Wollongong sits on a narrow strip between the escarpment and the sea, so a house here can easily be above the street with steps to the door and a narrow path down one side. Where nothing can be craned in, the carcass and benchtop sizes have to suit that access. We measure it first, build to it, then join the sections on site so the finished run still reads as one piece.
Ashbrook is run by a qualified builder with 15+ years on the tools, and on a Wollongong job that is worth more than being close by. We are not local to the Illawarra and we do not pretend to be. What it buys you instead is a kitchen measured once properly, drawn, approved, then machined as a complete set, so the crew that arrives to install it is not coming back three times for pieces. When you are booking a plumber and an electrician around a joiner who is not five minutes away, a fixed install window is worth more than a quick visit.
The same build across the Shoalhaven is on our new kitchens page. If the kitchen is one room in a bigger job, our Wollongong joinery and cabinetry page covers vanities, wardrobes and custom joinery too.
One measure, one set of drawings and one crew, so a job up the highway still runs to a date.
Every kitchen is custom, so the price depends on the size, layout, materials and finishes you choose. As a builder-owned joinery shop we quote each kitchen individually, once we understand your space and your budget. Get in touch and we will give you a clear, itemised quote.
Flat pack suits a tight budget, but it is limited to standard sizes and finishes. A custom kitchen is built to your exact measurements, so there is no wasted space and a better fit around plumbing, appliances and awkward walls. Because we manufacture in-house with CNC precision, our custom kitchens are made to last without the cost of outsourced joinery.
As a guide, most kitchens take a few weeks from approved design to installation, depending on the size and materials. We manage the full process in-house, from 3D render to manufacture to install, so your project stays on schedule.
Yes. We design and install kitchens for both renovations and new builds. Being builder-owned, we can plan the joinery around the rest of your renovation for a smoother result.
From our Huskisson workshop we work right across the Shoalhaven, Jervis Bay, the Illawarra, the South Coast and the Southern Highlands, and in Canberra and the ACT.
