Popular questions
What materials withstand Wellington's coastal conditions best?
Marine-grade stainless steel, sealed concrete benchtops, and powder-coated aluminium cabinetry excel in coastal environments. We specify salt-resistant finishes, proper ventilation, and protective coatings ensuring your outdoor kitchen maintains its appearance despite Wellington’s challenging weather conditions.
Do outdoor kitchens need council approval?
Most outdoor kitchen installations require building consent, particularly those with plumbing, gas connections, or structural elements. Our team navigates Wellington council requirements efficiently, managing permits and inspections to ensure your outdoor kitchen meets all compliance standards.
How do you protect outdoor kitchens from Wellington wind?
Strategic positioning and windbreak integration are crucial for Wellington outdoor kitchens. We incorporate glass screens, strategic walls, and covered areas to create comfortable cooking environments while maintaining ventilation requirements for safe appliance operation.
What's included in a basic outdoor kitchen setup?
Essential outdoor kitchens typically feature a quality BBQ, preparation counter, storage cabinet, and sink. We can expand from this foundation adding refrigeration, additional cooking appliances, and entertainment features based on your lifestyle requirements and available space.
How do outdoor kitchens handle weather exposure?
Professional outdoor kitchens utilise weatherproof construction throughout – sealed electrical systems, covered appliances, drainage solutions, and protective roofing. Quality materials and proper installation ensure year-round functionality regardless of Wellington’s unpredictable weather patterns.

Premium outdoor kitchens typically return 70-130% of investment through increased property value, particularly in Wellington’s competitive market. Beyond financial returns, they deliver immeasurable lifestyle benefits, creating entertainment hubs that transform how families enjoy their properties.
