Modernising Naremburn Homes

A home renovation in Naremburn is cottage work under heavy scrutiny — workers' cottages, Federation and Bungalow stock on tight 350 to 550m² blocks, with Heritage Conservation Areas covering most of the inner streets.

The approach that gets approved: restore the cottage frontage, transform behind it — and on the tight blocks, the design intelligence matters more than the square metres. Light, layout and flow win here.

Pre-war fabric adds lead paint to the asbestos check, and the century-old footings are checked before structural work.

Cottages done cleverly

Naremburn's HCAs cover most inner streets and council watches every external change — so the renovation restores the cottage face and works its transformation behind, where clever design on 350 to 550m² beats bulk anywhere else.

The village character is exactly why the suburb holds its premium.

Century fabric handled

Lead paint joins asbestos in the pre-war checks, both licensed processes, and the century-old footings are assessed before structural work.

All priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works

From First Call to Final Key

A Naremburn renovation starts with what's worth keeping. Character floorboards, structural brickwork, original joinery — if it earns its place, it stays. Everything else gets a hard look.

Design is pragmatic. Removing the right wall to open a kitchen, upgrading the bathroom to function properly, fixing the laundry that was an afterthought in 1975. Structural engineer signs off before anything load-bearing moves.

Construction runs in stages so you can live in the house for parts of it. Wet areas and kitchens get a clear programme — three weeks without a kitchen is normal; three months is someone else's job.

Handover is clean. New work tied into old work with matched finishes, defects fixed before you move back into the finished zones, warranty on all new work.
