Kitchen Renovations · Paddington
Custom kitchen renovations across Paddington, from joinery replacement through to removing walls and reworking how the whole ground floor lives.

About Ossher Design and Build
Most kitchen projects in Paddington are really planning projects. The cabinetry is the visible part, but the value comes from what happens to the walls, the light and the connection to the living and outdoor space around it.
We work across Victorian terraces in a near-continuous heritage conservation area, where original kitchens are usually isolated at the back of the house. Opening that up properly means structural steel, services relocation and a considered ceiling, not just new doors on old carcasses.
Ossher Design and Build handles the full scope: demolition, structure, services, joinery, stone, appliances and finish. One licensed builder is accountable for the result, which matters when a joiner, an electrician and a stonemason all have to hit the same millimetre.
Sydney's best-known terrace suburb, where every external change is scrutinised. We plan the program around that, including party-wall construction, laneway access and no on-site storage.

Local Knowledge
A kitchen only works if the planning, structure and services are resolved before joinery is ordered. These are the three things that decide the outcome.
Removing a load-bearing wall changes the whole ground floor. We engage the engineer early, price the steel honestly, and design the ceiling and bulkheads so the structure disappears.
Cabinetry built to the actual measured opening, integrated appliances, mitred stone and considered internal fitout. Ordered only once the site is measured, never off a plan.
Older Paddington homes rarely have the power, gas or exhaust capacity a modern kitchen needs. We upgrade circuits and duct rangehoods externally rather than recirculating.
Kitchens are the hardest room to live without. Where the program allows we stage the work and set up a temporary kitchen, and we sequence deliveries around party-wall construction, laneway access and no on-site storage.

FAQs
A quality custom kitchen in Paddington generally starts around $45,000 and runs to $90,000 or more once you add structural changes, premium stone, integrated appliances and butler's pantries. Joinery and appliances usually account for well over half the budget.
Allow eight to ten weeks on site for a straightforward kitchen, and twelve to sixteen weeks where walls are coming out. Custom joinery has a four to six week lead time, so the earlier selections are locked, the shorter the disruption.
Replacing a kitchen in the same footprint is usually exempt development. Removing structural walls, changing windows or altering external appearance can require a CDC or a DA with Woollahra Municipal Council and City of Sydney, and heritage-listed properties always need review. We confirm this before design is finalised.
In most cases yes. We have an engineer assess the load, then install a steel beam and design the ceiling so the change looks original rather than patched. This is one of the highest-value changes you can make to a period home.
Either. Most clients prefer we manage it, because it keeps one party accountable for fit and tolerances. If you have a joiner you want to use, we coordinate them within the program.
Yes. We hold a current NSW contractor licence and carry full public liability and home warranty insurance on every project.
Founder Adam Ossher runs every project personally, from feasibility through to handover. You deal with the person accountable for the build, not a rotating site manager.
