Sydney Home Renovation works with a wide range of clients across Banksia and the greater inner-south Sydney area.
Families in Banksia and Rockdale who’ve outgrown their current layout and need more space without moving. First-time renovators in Arncliffe and Wolli Creek who want a trusted team to guide them through the process. Investors in Kingsgrove and Beverly Hills adding granny flats to maximise rental yield. Downsizers in Hurstville and Penshurst updating kitchens and bathrooms before listing their property. Small business owners in Campsie and Canterbury refreshing office or retail spaces. Restaurant operators across the St George region needing compliant, functional commercial fitouts. Homeowners in Bardwell Park and Earlwood tackling second-storey additions to avoid the cost of relocating. Whatever your situation, we’ll tailor a renovation solution that fits your goals, your timeline, and your budget.
A whole home renovation is the most comprehensive way to transform your property. We manage every aspect structural changes, new flooring, updated electrical and plumbing, fresh joinery, and complete interior finishes. Most Banksia whole-home projects run between 12 and 26 weeks depending on scope. We coordinate all licensed trades under one fixed-price contract, so you're never chasing subcontractors or managing conflicting schedules. The result is a cohesive, high-quality home that feels entirely new.
Need more room without leaving the suburb you love? A home extension adds usable floor space whether that's a new living area, additional bedrooms, or an open-plan kitchen and dining zone. We handle the full process from site survey and structural design through to Georges River Council DA submission and practical completion. Extensions in Banksia typically take 10–20 weeks and are one of the highest-return investments a homeowner can make.
Granny flats are in high demand across Banksia and the broader St George region. Whether you're housing a family member or generating rental income, a well-built secondary dwelling adds significant value to your property. We design and construct complying development granny flats up to 60 sqm on eligible Banksia blocks, managing all council requirements, utility connections, and finishes. Most granny flat builds complete within 14–20 weeks.
A bathroom renovation is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. We handle full wet area compliance, waterproofing membranes, tiling, vanity installation, shower screens, tapware, and all plumbing connections. We've renovated bathrooms in Federation-era Banksia homes where the original layout needed complete reconfiguration, and we know how to work within tight spaces without compromising on quality or style.
Your kitchen is the heart of your home, and we treat it that way. Sydney Home Renovation manages custom cabinetry, engineered stone or laminate benchtops, splashback installation, appliance integration, and all electrical and plumbing work. We work with you on layout optimisation whether you're opening up a wall, extending the bench run, or adding an island. Most Banksia kitchen renovations complete in 4–8 weeks.
Laundries are often overlooked, but a well-designed laundry makes daily life significantly easier. We install new cabinetry, benchtops, trough sinks, tiling, and updated plumbing to transform a cramped, outdated space into something functional and attractive. Laundry renovations are typically completed within 1–2 weeks and offer excellent value for the investment.
Adding a second storey is one of the most effective ways to double your living space on a compact Banksia block. We manage the full structural process including engineering assessments, load-bearing wall modifications, staircase design, and roofline integration alongside all council approvals. Second-storey additions require careful planning in Banksia due to heritage overlays in some streets and Georges River Council setback requirements. We know this process inside out.
A well-designed office improves productivity, impresses clients, and reflects your brand. We renovate commercial office spaces across Banksia and the surrounding suburbs, managing partition walls, flooring, lighting, electrical upgrades, and joinery. We work around your business hours where possible to minimise disruption. Office renovations typically complete in 2–6 weeks depending on size and scope.
Restaurant renovations require a specialist approach. We understand commercial kitchen compliance, health department requirements, ventilation systems, durable surface specifications, and the importance of minimising downtime. Sydney Home Renovation has completed restaurant fitouts and refurbishments across the inner-south Sydney area, delivering spaces that are functional, compliant, and visually compelling.
A significant portion of Banksia's housing stock was built between 1910 and 1960. These Federation and interwar homes have character and charm but they also have quirks. Timber subfloors, older electrical wiring, non-standard wall framing, and original plumbing all require careful assessment before any renovation begins. We've seen what happens when builders skip this step, and we never do. Every project starts with a thorough site inspection so there are no surprises mid-build.
Banksia falls under Georges River Council jurisdiction, and council approval requirements here are specific. Extensions, second-storey additions, and granny flats all require either a Development Application (DA) or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), depending on the project scope. We manage this process for you preparing documentation, liaising with council, and ensuring your project meets all setback, height, and floor space ratio requirements before a single tool is picked up.
If your Banksia home was built before 1990, there's a real possibility it contains asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in wall sheeting, ceiling tiles, eaves, or floor coverings. We take this seriously. Before any demolition or structural work begins, we arrange licensed asbestos assessment and, where required, safe removal by certified contractors. This protects your family, our team, and keeps your project legally compliant under NSW Work Health and Safety regulations.
Banksia's typical residential block is 400–600 sqm generous by inner-city standards, but still requiring smart design thinking for extensions and additions. We've helped dozens of Banksia homeowners maximise their footprint through clever layout planning, multi-purpose spaces, and designs that feel open and spacious even within tight boundaries. Good design makes a bigger difference than extra square metres.
We’ve refined our process over hundreds of Sydney renovations. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us.
We start with a no-obligation conversation about your goals, your timeline, and your budget. Then we visit your Banksia property to assess the site, understand the existing structure, and identify any factors that might affect the build. This is where we ask the right questions so we can give you accurate advice from day one.
Based on your brief and our site assessment, we develop a detailed scope of works and provide a fixed-price contract. No vague estimates. No open-ended budgets. You’ll know exactly what’s included, what the timeline looks like, and what you’ll pay before any work begins. We’ll also advise on whether your project requires a DA or CDC and manage that process on your behalf.
Once you’re happy with the quote and contract, we handle all approvals and schedule your trades. You’ll have a dedicated project manager as your single point of contact throughout the build. We coordinate every licensed trade carpenters, plumbers, electricians, tilers, plasterers so you don’t have to. We provide regular progress updates and flag any decisions that need your input promptly.
Before we hand over your renovated home, we conduct a thorough quality inspection against the original scope of works. We walk through the completed project with you, address any items on the defects list, and ensure you’re completely satisfied. You’ll receive all compliance certificates, warranties on workmanship, and documentation for any council approvals. Your home is ready to enjoy.

We provide fixed-price contracts so once your quote is agreed, that’s what you pay. We don’t believe in open-ended budgets or surprise variation orders. If something genuinely unexpected arises (for example, discovering concealed structural damage during demolition), we’ll discuss it with you immediately and agree on a path forward before proceeding.

Timelines vary significantly depending on the scope of work. A laundry renovation might take 1–2 weeks. A bathroom renovation typically runs 3–5 weeks. A kitchen renovation takes 4–8 weeks. Larger projects like home extensions, second-storey additions, and whole-home renovations can run anywhere from 10 to 26 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the build.
It depends on the scope. Internal renovations like bathroom and kitchen upgrades generally don't require council approval, though they must still comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant Australian Standards. Extensions, granny flats, and second-storey additions typically require either a Development Application (DA) or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) through Georges River Council. We manage this process for you and advise on the right approval pathway from the start.
Yes. Sydney Home Renovation holds a current NSW Builder's Licence and carries full public liability and home warranty insurance. All trades we engage are licensed in their respective disciplines. You can verify our licence details through the NSW Fair Trading licence check. We're happy to provide documentation on request.
We can arrange licensed asbestos assessment and removal as part of your project. Many Banksia homes built before 1990 contain asbestos-containing materials, and safe removal is a legal requirement before any demolition or structural work. We work with certified asbestos removal contractors and ensure all work is completed in compliance with NSW Work Health and Safety regulations before the renovation build begins.
Our fixed-price contracts include a detailed scope of works, all labour and materials as specified, trades coordination, project management, and all compliance certificates on completion. The contract clearly outlines what's included and what falls outside scope. We don't use vague allowances or provisional sums for items we can accurately price upfront. If you want to change something mid-project, we'll discuss the cost impact before proceeding — no surprises.
