FAQs

Downsizer renovation help and advice

Common questions from Sydney homeowners planning a renovation as they move into their next chapter. If you do not find what you are looking for, get in touch and we will be happy to help.

Can you incorporate accessibility features into my renovation?

Absolutely. We regularly incorporate accessibility features such as step-free shower entries, grab rails, wider doorways, and lever-style tapware into our renovations. These elements can be designed to look and feel completely natural within the overall aesthetic of your home.

How much does a renovation for downsizers typically cost?

Costs depend on the scope of work and the size of your space. A bathroom renovation typically starts from $25,000 and a kitchen from $30,000. We provide detailed, fixed-price proposals so you know exactly what you are investing before any work begins.

I am not sure what I need. Can you help me figure that out?

Yes, that is exactly what our free planning call is for. We take the time to understand your goals, walk through your space, and help you think through your options. There is no pressure and no obligation.

How long will the renovation take?

Most bathroom and kitchen renovations take between three and six weeks. We provide a detailed schedule upfront and keep you updated throughout, so you always know what stage we are at and what is coming next.

Will I need to move out during the renovation?

In most cases, no. We plan works carefully to maintain access to the rest of your home throughout the project. If there are specific stages where access will be limited, we will discuss this with you well in advance so you can plan accordingly.

Are you a licensed builder?

Yes. LikeSilk is a fully licensed builder (Licence 274849C) with HBCF home warranty insurance and $20M public liability cover. All works comply with the NCC and relevant Australian standards.
