Kitchen Renovations Brisbane Southside

Kitchen renovations in Brisbane Southside & surrounds, designed and built by a local team creating quality kitchens since 1985.
Your lifestyle, your kitchen

Southside's kitchen renovation specialists

Your household spends more waking hours in the kitchen than in any other room, so a standard cabinet run rarely fits. Every Action Kitchens kitchen is drawn for the space it goes into, around how you store things, where you cook and what the current layout gets wrong.

Nothing is off-the-shelf or flat-pack. We design and manufacture in-house and install with our own team, so one group stays responsible from the first sketch to the last handle.

Action Kitchens is highly recommended. Nick, Dan and Jess were easy to work with; they listened to my needs; they came up with clever design ideas; they solved installation problems; they paid attention to detail; they managed all the contractors carefully; and they were always available to monitor and respond to questions or issues if required. I had to trust Action Kitchens and I'm glad I did - I am very happy with my new kitchen.

Our new kitchen was completed a few months ago by Action Kitchen and we are amazed by the quality and attention to detail. Our first meeting with Nick was so reassuring we felt comfortable and confident we were making the right decision. The day to day schedule provided of what trades were coming on what days was such a great help, if there was any change to this we were informed immediately. All trades on our job were so friendly and respectful, it was a pleasure having them in our home. The construction of the cabinetry by the team in the workshop is perfect, installation is faultless as is the work by all the trades who were used on our kitchen. Dan is a 5 star project manager, he oversaw our job every step of the way, promptly answering any questions from us and giving us complete peace of mind.
A big thank you Nick and the entire Action Kitchen team, the functionality and quality of our new kitchen has exceeded all our expectations and we definitely recommend you to anyone thinking of a new kitchen.

We cannot rate Action Kitchens highly enough. Every step of the process was easy and enjoyable. From our initial meeting with Nick, who went out of his way to meet at a time that suited us, to the last day when Patrick came to do the final touches it was a seamless process with an extremely professional crew. From Jessica and Nick's design to Dan's AMAZING project management, we could not have been happier. A big shout out to the guys (and Olivia) who did the bulk of the onsite work, as well as the electrician (Ben) and plumber (Sam). Our kitchen looks incredible, and we are extremely happy with it.
A big thank you to Action Kitchens - an amazing local business. Do not hesitate to use them for your new kitchen - you will be very happy.

We had a fantastic experience with Action Kitchens. They took care of absolutely everything — from the initial demolition, design, and colour selections, to creating a kitchen layout that perfectly suited our needs, including the addition of a butler’s pantry.

What really stood out was how seamlessly they managed the entire process, including organising and coordinating all the contractors. The scheduling was handled so well — it gave us real peace of mind knowing exactly who was coming and when.

The entire project was stress-free, and the end result is a beautiful, functional kitchen that we absolutely love. We can’t recommend Action Kitchens highly enough. Thank you, Dan and Nick!

After our long-time cabinetmaker shut his business for a life change, we found Action Kitchens through an online search—only to discover after contacting them that our now-off-the-tools cabinetmaker actually did his apprenticeship there! That was a great sign, and meeting Nick (possibly Australia’s busiest business owner) sealed the deal. The initial consult went great, and we signed on.

From start to finish, the entire team was excellent. Even those behind the scenes in the workshop deserve credit—their craftsmanship showed the moment everything arrived on site. The installation team was top-notch, and a big shoutout to Dan, whose urgency, experience, and attention to detail took the project well beyond expectations. (No, really.)

Sure, there were hiccups—as you get with any reno involving multiple trades—but everything was handled professionally, with constant communication. We never once felt it was out of control.

We supplied our own appliances, sink, etc., and Action worked with that seamlessly. It honestly felt like they’d chosen the items themselves, the fit and finish was that good.

The kitchen was completed in Spring 2024, and now—mid-2025—it still looks and functions like new. Every drawer, door, and surface is still perfect, and we get compliments not just from guests, but every time we walk into the room. Watching them crane in a giant slab of granite? Yeah that was unreal.

There are cabinetmakers out there more interested in shiny new utes and flashy showrooms—but if you want your project done properly, with quality materials, great communication, and true workmanship, hire Action. We only wish we had more work for them, if that happens we'll be coming straight back.

I recently used Action Kitchens for our much needed renovation, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. From start to finish, the entire process was hassle-free and professionally managed by Nick and his team.

Any issues that arose were addressed promptly, and the team handled them with expertise and efficiency. The tradespeople were not only skilled but also respectful, maintaining a clean work environment and ensuring minimal disruption to our daily lives.

The quality of the work and process exceeded our expectations, and the project was completed on time. I highly recommend Action Kitchens to anyone looking for a reliable and professional renovation service.

Even the kids are loving and using the space. Thank you.

Kitchen renovation FAQs

It depends on the size of the kitchen, how much the layout changes, the cabinetry specification and the finishes you choose. Two kitchens the same size can land a long way apart. We quote each project after a consultation and a site measure, so the figure is for your kitchen rather than an average. See our kitchen renovations page.

It depends on the scope of the work and the finishes you choose, including lead times on materials. We confirm the schedule at the proposal stage, once the design is settled and we know exactly what is being built.

Yes. Action Kitchens designs and builds its own kitchens in-house and fits them too, and has since 1985. The business is carpentry-led, so the people specifying the cabinetry are the people who build and install it. You deal with one accountable team that coordinates every trade.
