Home Extensions and Full Renovations

A home in the right location does not always need to be replaced. In many cases, extending or reworking the existing property can provide the extra space and improved layout you need.

Our home extension and full renovation projects may include additional bedrooms, larger living and dining areas, new bathrooms and ensuites, kitchen extensions, home offices, garage additions or conversions, internal wall removal, open-plan living areas, improved storage, new flooring and finishes, larger windows and doors, and better access to outdoor areas.

We look at the home as a complete space rather than treating every room as a separate project. This helps the new work connect naturally with the existing property and creates a consistent result across the layout, materials and finishes.

Our full house renovation services are suited to homeowners planning substantial changes across several areas of their property.

You can also view our Canberra project gallery to see examples of completed renovations, extensions and room transformations.

Updating Established Inner South Homes

The Inner South includes a broad mix of traditional homes, renovated family properties, apartments and newer developments. Each type of property comes with different opportunities and challenges.

Homes in areas such as Red Hill, Griffith, Narrabundah, Deakin, Forrest and Yarralumla may have generous rooms and established character but lack the open layouts, storage or indoor-outdoor connection expected in a modern home.

Common renovation priorities include opening enclosed kitchens and dining rooms, adding more natural light, creating additional bedrooms, building a new ensuite, improving storage, updating old bathrooms and laundries, replacing ageing windows and doors, creating better access to the backyard and improving the flow between rooms.

Rather than changing a home simply for the sake of making it look new, we focus on practical improvements that make it easier and more comfortable to live in.

Bathroom and Ensuite Renovations

A bathroom should be easy to use, simple to maintain and suited to the people living in the home.

Older bathrooms may have limited storage, poor ventilation, ageing fixtures or layouts that do not make good use of the available floor area. Apartments and compact homes may also require careful planning to maximise space without making the room feel crowded.

Our Canberra bathroom renovation services can include complete bathroom strip-outs, plumbing changes, walk-in showers, freestanding and built-in baths, custom vanities, wall and floor tiling, waterproofing, underfloor heating, new tapware and fixtures, improved lighting and ventilation, ensuite additions and bathroom layout changes.

We can renovate an existing bathroom, combine separate bathroom and toilet areas or add an ensuite as part of a larger extension.

Because building and plumbing services are coordinated through the same team, the work can move through each stage without the homeowner needing to organise several unrelated contractors.

Kitchen and Laundry Renovations

Kitchens are often the centre of the home, particularly when they connect directly with the dining, living or outdoor entertaining areas.

In many older properties, the kitchen may be separated from the main living area or lack the storage and preparation space needed for everyday use.

Our kitchen renovation services may include custom cabinetry, improved kitchen layouts, kitchen islands, butler’s pantries, new benchtops and splashbacks, appliance installation, plumbing and electrical coordination, better storage, task and feature lighting, and opening the kitchen into adjoining rooms.

We consider how the kitchen will be used throughout the day, including food preparation, storage, entertaining and movement between surrounding spaces.

Laundry Renovations

A well-designed laundry can make better use of a small or overlooked part of the home.

Laundry renovations may include custom cabinetry, full-height storage, new benchtops, appliance connections, new sinks and tapware, tiled splashbacks, plumbing alterations, improved lighting, combined laundry and mudroom areas, and concealed laundry layouts.

Kitchen and laundry work can be completed as individual projects or incorporated into a wider home renovation for consistent cabinetry, flooring and finishes.

Outdoor Renovations and Entertaining Areas

The Inner South is known for established gardens and outdoor spaces, but not every home makes the best use of its backyard.

Improving the connection between the inside and outside can create additional room for dining, entertaining and relaxing without needing to add another enclosed living area.

Our outdoor building services include timber and composite decking, pergolas, covered entertaining areas, outdoor kitchens, privacy screens, stairs and balustrades, new external doors, improved backyard access and integrated indoor-outdoor living spaces.

When an outdoor project is part of a larger renovation, we can also consider the placement of doors, windows, kitchens and living areas so the spaces work together.

Other Building and Property Services

Alongside larger extensions and renovations, Prestige Plumbing & Building can assist with other repairs and improvements around the home.

Depending on the property and scope, this may include general plumbing, plumbing and drainage alterations, window repairs and replacement, door replacement, carpentry, wall removal and internal alterations, tiling, waterproofing, flooring installation, roof repairs and repainting, fixture replacement and general building repairs.

These services are commonly included within a larger renovation but may also be suitable for homeowners completing targeted upgrades.

Having access to building, plumbing, carpentry, tiling and waterproofing experience within one team makes it easier to identify how one part of the property may affect another.

A Coordinated Approach to Renovation

A renovation can involve several trades, suppliers and stages of work. Without clear coordination, decisions can be missed and the project can become harder to manage.

Prestige Plumbing & Building oversees the different stages and keeps the work moving according to the agreed scope.

Our typical process includes:

Initial Property Walkthrough

We meet at your property to discuss what you want to change, your priorities, preferred timeframe and approximate budget.

Scope and Planning

The existing home is reviewed in more detail so we can consider the layout, building requirements, materials and trades involved.

Design and Selections

Key decisions relating to the layout, fixtures, finishes and materials are confirmed before construction begins.

Building and Renovation Work

Our team coordinates the required demolition, construction, plumbing, carpentry, tiling, waterproofing and other trade work.

Final Walkthrough

Once the work is complete, we inspect the renovation with you and address the final details before handover.
