Kitchens Built for Mont Albert Homes

Mont Albert is one of the quieter corners of the inner east. Edwardian and Federation family homes on wide, tree-lined streets. The small village strip on Hamilton Street. Many of the families here have been in the suburb for generations. We’ve renovated kitchens across the area, and we design each one to feel right for a Mont Albert home. Mont Albert kitchens are rarely a quick refresh. The homes here are mostly period, and the brief is almost always the same: a kitchen that works harder, holds more, and still feels like it belongs in the house. We walk that line carefully.

A Recent Mont Albert Kitchen

Edwardian family home, French Provincial

An Edwardian family home on a quieter Mont Albert street. The kitchen hadn’t been touched in twenty years. We opened it to the dining room, kept the original cornicing and the servery hatch to the sitting room, and built custom French Provincial cabinetry in soft off-white with a Carrara island. Walk-in pantry tucked behind. Eleven weeks from brief to handover.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Select Kitchens. They recently installed our new kitchen and laundry, and the result is outstanding. Cosi, Mark and designer Kaz were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. The design and consultation process was thoughtful, practical and well guided, and the installation was handled with real care and attention to detail. We lived in the house throughout the works, and the team kept everything clean, tidy and well managed the whole way through, which made a big difference. The workmanship and overall finish are excellent. Highly recommend Select Kitchens if you’re looking for a professional, reliable team who genuinely care about the end result.

Select Kitchens were amazing to deal with from start to finish. Quote process was smooth and professional and the contract stage was easy. All tradesmen were fantastic and on time. Communication was excellent and any issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently. We are super happy with our kitchen. It's beautiful and we are very proud of it. The stonemasons were incredible and did a first rate job. The stone is vein matched and attention to detail was impeccable. We would highly recommend Select Kitchens.

Cannot fault the team at Select! Planning and creating a new kitchen is one thing, but the helpfulness, patience, skill and communication is another, very important part, of the experience. My new kitchen is stunning and practical. The workmanship is excellent and when there was a question or something was not right, the team were always willing to put things right, and promptly. Nothing was too much trouble. Communication is so important during a process like this and I was always kept up to date with what or who was happening next. I can highly recommend the team at Select. Thank you all Paul, Shane, Wes, Dale, Dave, Dillon, Mark, Chandler and Cooper. Legends! 🥰

elect Kitchens & Bathrooms were absolutely fantastic. We renovated our laundry with them and are so happy with the outcome. Shane, Operations Manager was our main contact and he came onsite prior to the project commencing to fully explain the process. Importantly, he was always available if needed. We found Shane to be professional, polite and very communicative. Dale was our project coordinator and was such a pleasure to deal with. He is an excellent carpenter and was responsible for bringing in other trades as required. Dale's experience with managing the project was clearly evident from start to finish. All of the trades people Select use were courteous, punctual and performed their work to the highest standard. We would not hesitate to recommend Select Kitchens & Bathrooms and we will be re-engaging them to renovate our kitchen soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Mont Albert is one of our regular areas, along with the wider inner east.

Yes, and this is much of what we do in Mont Albert. We work around original cornicing, leadlight, timber floors and other period features, and design the new kitchen to sit comfortably with them.

Mid-range renovations start around $40,000 to $60,000, with custom and high-end kitchens higher. See our cost guide for the full breakdown.

Usually 13 to 23 weeks from brief to handover. The on-site build itself is 3 to 5 weeks.

For a standard renovation, usually not. Parts of Mont Albert sit in heritage overlays, so if you’re changing the structure, footprint or anything externally visible, a permit may be needed. We’ll check before the scope is locked in.
