Bankstown is a suburb that’s changing fast. Long-established homes on generous blocks are being transformed into modern, functional spaces that reflect how families actually live today. We’ve worked on fibro cottages in Punchbowl, double-brick homes in Roselands, and narrow-block properties in Yagoona and we bring that hands-on local knowledge to every project we take on.
At Sydney Home Renovation, we manage everything from initial design through to final handover. That means one point of contact, one accountable team, and no finger-pointing between trades when something needs sorting. We handle the council paperwork, coordinate the plumbers, electricians, and tilers, and keep your project moving on schedule.

Our clients are as diverse as Bankstown itself. We regularly work with:
Whatever your situation, we’ll give you honest advice, a clear plan, and a renovation that delivers real value.
A whole home renovation is the most comprehensive way to transform your property. We reconfigure floor plans, update every wet area, replace flooring and ceilings, modernise electrical and plumbing systems, and deliver a cohesive result that feels like a brand-new home. Most whole home renovations in Bankstown take 12–24 weeks depending on scope. We manage every trade and every approval, so you don't have to juggle multiple contractors. Investment typically starts from $180,000 for a standard three-bedroom home.
A ground-floor extension adds living space without the cost of moving. We design and build rear extensions, side extensions, and open-plan living additions that connect seamlessly with your existing home. In Bankstown, we work carefully within council setback requirements and building envelope rules to maximise your usable space. Extensions typically take 16–24 weeks from approval to completion. Costs start from approximately $150,000 depending on size and structural complexity.
A granny flat is one of the smartest investments a Bankstown homeowner can make. Under the NSW State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021, most standard residential lots in Bankstown qualify for a complying development granny flat meaning faster approvals and lower costs. We design, approve, and build self-contained granny flats up to 60 sqm that can generate $350–$550 per week in rental income. Construction typically takes 12–16 weeks from approval.
We transform outdated bathrooms into clean, functional, waterproofed spaces built to last. Every bathroom renovation we complete meets AS 3740 waterproofing standards, with full wet area compliance for tiles, fixtures, exhaust ventilation, and drainage. We handle everything from demolition through to final fixture installation. A standard bathroom renovation in Bankstown takes 2–4 weeks and typically costs between $15,000 and $35,000 depending on size and finishes.
Your kitchen is the heart of your home and in Bankstown's family-oriented households, it needs to work hard. We design and install custom kitchens with engineered stone benchtops, soft-close cabinetry, splashback tiling, and fully integrated appliances. We also manage any structural changes required to open up the floor plan. Kitchen renovations typically take 3–5 weeks and range from $20,000 for a straightforward refresh to $55,000+ for a full custom fit-out.
A well-designed laundry makes daily life easier. We reconfigure laundry layouts, install new cabinetry and benchtops, upgrade plumbing and drainage, and add practical storage solutions. Many Bankstown homes have undersized or poorly positioned laundries — we fix that. Laundry renovations typically take 1–2 weeks and cost between $8,000 and $18,000.
Adding a second storey is the most effective way to double your living space without losing your backyard. We manage the full process: structural engineering assessment, DA application with Canterbury-Bankstown Council, steel frame or timber frame construction, and complete internal fit-out. Second-storey additions in Bankstown typically take 20–32 weeks and represent an investment of $200,000 to $450,000+. The result is a transformed home with significantly increased market value.
A well-designed office improves productivity, impresses clients, and reflects your brand. We fit out commercial offices in Bankstown CBD and surrounding business precincts, handling partitioning, flooring, lighting, electrical upgrades, and joinery. Office renovations typically take 2–6 weeks depending on size and complexity, with costs starting from $25,000.
Restaurant and café fit-outs require specialist knowledge of commercial kitchen requirements, health department compliance, ventilation systems, and durable finishes that stand up to heavy use. We've completed restaurant renovations across Bankstown and Campsie, delivering functional, attractive spaces on tight timelines. Restaurant renovation costs typically start from $80,000 for a full fit-out.
Bankstown isn’t a generic Sydney suburb it has specific building characteristics, council rules, and site conditions that affect every renovation project. Here’s what we’ve learned from years of working in this area.
A large proportion of Bankstown homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s. That means fibro (fibrous cement sheeting), double-brick construction, and early cavity-brick walls are common. We're experienced in identifying and safely managing asbestos-containing materials in older fibro homes a legal requirement under NSW SafeWork regulations. We also understand how to work with double-brick structures when opening up walls or adding extensions, which requires careful load-bearing assessment before any demolition begins.
Canterbury-Bankstown Council operates under the Canterbury-Bankstown Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2023, which sets specific rules around building height, floor space ratio, setbacks, and heritage considerations. We've submitted and managed dozens of DA and CDC applications with this council. We know what the assessment officers look for, how to prepare documentation that minimises back-and-forth, and how to structure your project to qualify for the faster complying development pathway where possible.
Many Bankstown residential lots have frontages of 10–12 metres and total areas of 450–600 sqm. That creates real constraints for extensions and granny flat placement. We design within these constraints from day one maximising usable floor area while respecting side boundary setbacks, easements, and neighbour privacy requirements. Getting this right at the design stage saves significant time and cost during the approval process.
Properties near the Georges River, Prospect Creek, and Bankstown Aerodrome corridor can sit in low-lying areas with specific stormwater management requirements. We assess drainage conditions before any ground-level work begins and design appropriate stormwater solutions that meet council requirements. This is particularly important for bathroom and laundry renovations, extensions, and granny flat slabs where drainage connections are critical.
We’ve refined our process over hundreds of Bankstown renovation projects. Here’s exactly what working with us looks like.
We visit your property, listen to what you want to achieve, assess the existing structure, and give you honest feedback on what’s feasible within your budget and timeframe. There’s no obligation and no sales pressure. Call 61 2 9072 1905 to book your consultation.
Our team prepares detailed plans, specifications, and where required DA or CDC documentation for submission to Canterbury-Bankstown Council. We coordinate with structural engineers, surveyors, and certifiers on your behalf. We keep you informed at every stage and won’t proceed to construction until all approvals are in place.
Once approvals are confirmed, we mobilise our team. We coordinate all trades including demolition, structural work, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tiling, joinery, and painting under a single project manager. You get weekly progress updates and direct access to your project manager throughout the build.
Before we hand over your renovated home, we conduct a thorough quality inspection against your original specifications. We walk through the completed project with you, address any items on your snag list, and provide all compliance certificates, warranties, and maintenance documentation. Your home is yours finished to the standard we promised.
We provide home renovation services across Bankstown and the wider Canterbury-Bankstown local government area, as well as neighbouring suburbs.

It depends on the scope of work. Internal cosmetic renovations like replacing kitchen benchtops, retiling a bathroom, or repainting generally don't require approval. Structural changes, extensions, granny flats, and second-storey additions typically require either a Development Application (DA) or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) from Canterbury-Bankstown Council. We assess your project during the free consultation and advise you on exactly what's required.
Timelines vary significantly by project type. A bathroom renovation typically takes 2–4 weeks. A kitchen renovation takes 3–5 weeks. A granny flat takes 12–16 weeks from approval. A second-storey addition or whole home renovation can take 20–32 weeks. We provide a detailed project schedule before work begins and update you weekly throughout construction.
Yes. We manage the full DA and CDC application process with Canterbury-Bankstown Council on your behalf. This includes preparing architectural plans, coordinating with structural engineers and surveyors, preparing the Statement of Environmental Effects, and liaising with council assessment officers. Most homeowners find this the most stressful part of a major renovation — we take it completely off your plate.
A Development Application (DA) is assessed by Canterbury-Bankstown Council and typically takes 40–60 days (sometimes longer for complex projects). A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) is assessed by a private certifier and is faster — usually 10–20 days — but only applies to projects that meet specific pre-set criteria under the NSW Housing SEPP 2021. Granny flats on standard residential lots often qualify for the CDC pathway. We'll advise which route suits your project.
Yes. Many Bankstown homes built before 1987 contain asbestos-containing materials, particularly in fibro sheeting, eaves, and wet area linings. We follow all NSW SafeWork regulations for asbestos identification, removal, and disposal. We work with licensed asbestos removalists where required and ensure your site is safe before any renovation work begins.
For smaller projects like bathroom or kitchen renovations, many clients stay in their home throughout. For larger projects whole home renovations, second-storey additions, or major extensions we'll give you an honest assessment of whether it's practical. We work to minimise disruption where possible and always maintain secure, weatherproof site conditions.
Yes. All our renovation projects are quoted on a fixed-price basis. Your contract clearly states the scope of work, materials, timeline, and total cost. We don't add surprise variations — if you want to change something after the contract is signed, we'll discuss the cost impact with you before proceeding.
