I found the process of getting my new kitchen through Impala to be quite efficient. The design phase was easier than expected given the tight constraints of my small space. The process and timings were clearly spelled out, and they accommodated getting my new flooring in during the process. With one exception the tradies turned up when scheduled and completed their work. I am very happy with my new kitchen.
Impala Kitchens did a full kitchen renovation for us. They were awesome from start to finish, Impala provide clear communication at every renovation step. Plan was executed on time, on budget with great new kitchen to our satisfaction.
I had my beautiful Impala kitchen installed 7 years ago. We had a minor problem with the top cupboards recently so I contacted the very organised Tracey from Impala. She arranged an inspection of the cupboards and then followed this up shortly after by scheduling the necessary repair work. Doug arrived promptly, did the necessary repairs and then… Read more
- can you believe it - cleaned the area so not one speck of dirt remained. First tradie I have ever had who cleaned up like that! He was a superstar and a really lovely person! After seven years the repairs cost me not one cent! That's incredible after sales service. Thank you Impala team - my kitchen is back to being beautiful again!

Repair of kitchen cupboards – After quite a few attempts for someone to answer my call, my concerns were actioned, before long a serviceman was organised to attend to the issues that were related to the cupboard doors yo be readjusted and the metal strips on top of each draws were re struck into place. He was on time and the job was completed with professionalism. Show reply
I highly recommend Impala Kitchens. During the design phase, the kitchen design team was very patient with me because I had a distinct vision of what I wanted my Heritage-style kitchen to look like. The design team met with me several times to discuss my expectations and choose the materials and components of my new kitchen. They also made two… Read more · 1
visits to my house until all the details of the design of my kitchen were completed. The installation of the kitchen was completely seamless, and Impala Kitchens met the agreed-upon timelines for completion of the kitchen. I was overseas during the installation of my kitchen, and despite that, communication regarding the details of the installation was excellent. The administrative staff were very helpful and always promptly responded to my queries. I am very happy with my dream kitchen and highly recommend this company.
We recently had our bathroom renovated by Impala ( we chose this company for our kitchen, lounge area and study renovations in the past). This company has never failed to deliver excellence! We love working with everyone there Jason, Robert, John, Cara, Amber to name a few. The bathroom renovation went perfectly from start to finish. Impala built… Read more · 1
us the most fabulous new bathroom, thank you to Robert ( supervisor in this job) who never missed a detail! We loved having this team in our home, they were respectful, professional and obliging at all times. Thank you Melinda and Tony Camillos
We love our bathrooms, laundry and kitchen renovations, the design and construction was very professional . A careful eye to detail. Thankyou Rob, Amber,Jason and all your staff. We are very happy. Show reply

In 2001 we installed a lovely Impala kitchen in our recently bought townhouse. It has retained its beautiful style and look for all this time until a door hinge on a corner cupboard recently needed replacing. We were expecting that because of our location in southern Sydney, Impala might be reluctant to come for such a small repair. Imagine how… Read more · 1
pleased we were when not only was the hinge replaced at no cost, but the delightful Tracey arranged for a very skilled Anup to come and do the repair. It was a horrible night of rain and wind in Sydney but Anup, cool and capable, had the broken hinge replaced and the corner cupboard functioning as new in no time. After so many years we half expected resistance from Impala as they no longer had their office in Southern Sydney. But true to the high quality of their kitchens, the high quality of their service was most impressive and reassuring! Thank you Impala, Tracey and Anup!! Impala stand by the quality of their product, even after 24 years! We are very grateful for such committed and quality service.
Perfect from start to finish – I approached Impala a long time prior to our renovation as I really admired the kitchen designs in their Drummoyne showroom. Andrew is a talented designer and he had a lot of patience as we struggled to make some difficult decisions. He gave excellent advice. Jason managed our installation from end to end. He was willing to meet on site… Read more · 1
whenever we needed him to. His willingness to help and his approach to customer service was exceptional.
The admin team including Jackie and Holly were always clear with where we were at, even during the tricky period of covid.
The quality of the kitchen, bookshelves, cabinetry in bathroom etc is beautiful. The draws are lined in oak rather than white, which gives everything a very sophisticated look and feel.
Most people that we dealt with at Impala have been working for the company for 20 years. That says a lot about the way they treat their employees. It is probably one of the reasons why they have done such a great job on a very large scale piece of work.
Thanks to everyone, It is much appreciated,
Margaret
care and class + – Our eye-witness experience with having 'Impala Kitchens' design, create, produce and install our beautiful kitchen back in November 2019 has been a flawless, world class, '11 star' result. From their initial design, to being able to consider and accommodate some of our personal ideas, has produced the most rewarding results. Impala knows how to… Read more · 1
obtain the maximum use of space, with practical consideration of client suggestions. The end result of their work has provided a substantial increased value to our property, bringing what we had to modern day standards. In addition to value +, it has given us as homeowners, day to day ease and comfort with working in our exquisite kitchen. We are proud of what was achieved, proud of our choice to contract 'Impala' for the job. Each and every one of our guests since the kitchen renovation has commented super-positively on the state-of-the-art / world class standard of the renovation that Impala provided to our home.
Impala's attention to detail is unflappable......and their 'after care service' (if and when needed - and I must mention very rarely) has been MOST impeccable.
We very highly recommend Impala Kitchens forevermore.................. they are the best of the best of the best. No kidding here....!

My Impala kitchen, which I love, is 10 years old and has just had it's first maintenance call. Tracey at Impala made it so easy. She was both very competent and lovely to deal with. The Maintenance man, Pierre, turned up on time to repair some damaged edges. Very professional and excellent quality workmanship. I am very happy to recommend.
About 12 months ago, we had wardrobes and joinery installed, and we absolutely love the result. Recently, we noticed that a desk drawer was not closing properly. Tracey responded straight away and arranged for Pierre to visit and resolve the issue. My wife and I were very impressed with the service provided by both Tracey and Pierre. We would not hesitate to recommend Impala. The joinery and wardrobes are fantastic and truly first class.

We have used Impala Kitchens twice now, and on our most recent renovation they went above and beyond. Along with our new kitchen, we had our bathroom and laundry completely renovated, and we are extremely happy with the result. From start to finish, Impala Kitchens were professional, efficient and incredibly easy to deal with. They organised… Read more
everything for us, including the trades, installation and warranties, so we really didn’t have to worry about a thing. Their after-sales service is also exceptional. We had a minor issue after the installation, and it was resolved extremely quickly and professionally. The courtesy and helpfulness of every staff member we dealt with was first class. Impala Kitchens are fully licensed builders, and their attention to detail, organisation and customer service are second to none. We have absolutely no complaints and would highly recommend Impala Kitchens to anyone considering a new kitchen, bathroom or laundry renovation.

Impala purports to have superior customer service and high quality workmanship but I have had terrible experiences with them. We purchased a house with a brand, new “luxury” Impala Kitchen and after settlement we identified a huge list of defects. Almost every drawer / cupboard had an issue of some sort. It has taken over 3 months (and still… Read more
counting) to have these issues fixed. We were left for weeks with no doors or drawers while they were being fixed. Rectification required multiple follow-ups and chasing, and even when we had the installers booked in, there would be a no show. We have used joiners in the past and I would never use Impala Kitchens after this experience.
Beware - do not deliver kitchen per agreed date, poor quality trades, refuse to provide itemised bill – I made the mistake of signing up with IK thinking I would be dealing with a trustworthy and reputable company that would install my new small kitchen by the agreed date and for this I was prepared to pay somewhat of a premium. From the moment I signed the contract, it went pear shape. Before any delivery all but $500 is required to be paid. BIG… Read more
MISTAKE! 1.I signed the contract with IK on the 22/6/24 on the agreement that the kitchen delivery and installation would be completed ‘BY SEPTEMBER 2024’, come 24/11/24 the kitchen installation was still unfinished. 2. Charged for services of a 'project supervisor' as per IKs 'delivery letter', yet there was no such project supervisor. 3. I should have seen the red flag when I had asked at the time of signing for a breakdown of the work as per the signed contract form and was told they just give the overall contract price. When I saw the project unfolding so horribly, I pushed for an itemized bill. Multiple requests over a 6week period resulted in a list of services and fees charged but no details regarding labor charges and material charges. The bill included a charge of '$500' fee with explanation' Adjusted for inflation'. 4. Charged over $4K for demolishing old kitchen, plaster and tiling- when kitchen was already demolished and no tiling. IK has refused to return the funds. 5.I have been told by IK that their trades will turn up and when they haven’t, I have been the one to call IK to enquire rather than IK calling me as one would expect as part of a positive customer service experience. 6.I have had IK trades turn up when they weren't scheduled as well as receiving messages either the night before or on the actual morning that the IK trades were going to turn up onsite and therefore I have had to scramble to rearrange plans to accommodate the IK trades. 7.I have had IK trades return onsite up to and including four times due to the errors made either of their own accord or by different IK trades. 8.I have had my freshly painted kitchen wall damaged by IK trade and what was just as bad as the damaged wall itself is that he did not have the decency to tell me. Had I not raised the damaged wall with the IK trade, he would have just left the job without any care or accountability. 9.I have had to deal with having uncomfortable calls and emailing on multiple occasions to enquire about the status of the job or to notify of problems. I have spent so much time dealing with all the wrongs that I have been lucky not to lose my own job. 10.I have had to rearrange the schedule of renovation works within the rest of my house due to the delays with IK. This has been a massive inconvenience as it has thrown out completion of rooms and affected my overall move in date. 11. My rangehood was damaged on installation and it took 8weeks before a new rangehood was back in stock and the installer agreed to install. I can go on but I hope from the above that it may help inform your decision about whether or not to proceed with IK. The experience with IK has been anything but positive.
The project that keeps on going and going – After a wonderful design process and competitive quote for 9 rooms of joinery, we were optimistic and pleased with our choice of joinery supplier. It then all went wrong with the worst installation process imaginable. Be warned Impala request 100% payment prior to delivery. We paid up front in September and we're about to hit February and we still… Read more
don't have all the joinery - drawers missing, doors missing, lack of handles, etc. We've been told there have been supply issues, issues with being able to get staff and the slowest moving installers ever when they actually turn up on site. Impala don't care now as they've been paid so we are at the mercy of installers who have morning tea breaks 52 mins after starting work - yes, I have timed them :-(

Impala bathrooms are fantastic, big thank you to the team especially Gio and Amber for the design and Robert who did an excellent job managing the project. Highly recommend!
Impala kitchens designed and installed both our new laundry and then our new kitchen the following year with stylish well made cabinets that have greater storage space and quality stone bench tops. Tracy was very helpful and promptly organised someone to return after the work was completed when we need any minor adjustments .
Impala were professional, worked with my accellerated timeline and delivered a quality product. Communication was clear and consistent with different trades making it easier for our family to organise our time. We would recommend Impala to anyone looking for custom joinery.
We recently completed renovations of two bathrooms (the main and guest bathrooms) and were very happy with the end-to-end experience, from design through to execution. The design and check measure process by Paul and Amber respectively were thoughtful and well considered, balancing style and functionality perfectly. Rob, our project manager, was… Read more · 1
excellent - his attention to detail, organisation, and clear communication ensured everything met my high expectations and was delivered on time despite minor setbacks. The quality of workmanship was strong throughout. I would happily recommend the Impala team and would use them again for future projects (including joinery).
We had our kitchen and laundry renovated, finished 6 months ago. The design process with Gio was great and he was very helpful with colours and products (purchased at Harvey Norman). The process began smoothly and overall, we were very happy with most of the trades. We got well into the job before a few issues slowed the process down. … Read more · 1
Ultimately, the owner of Impala got involved and although our kitchen was delivered quite a bit later than expected, he ensured that things were resolved and our job was finished to a high standard. The process wasn't all smooth saliing, but renovating rarely is. We love our kitchen and laundry and consider ourselves very lucky to have such beautiful, quality rooms, hence the 5 star review.

"WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IMPALA KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS"
We needed to replace some components of our kitchen which is still in perfect condition from 2013 build from Impala Kitchens. Impala were able to source the same hardware and had it couriered to us in a matter of weeks. Their customer service was excellent and were so friendly and helpful. They kept us informed and were available to communicate… Read more · 1
at any time. I would get them to do our next kitchen when needed. I can recommend their workmanship, we also have all our built in wardrobes built by Impala Kitchens. They still look brand new.
Wonderful after sales service. We needed to replace a couple of kitchen components due to wear and tear on the kitchen that was installed 10 years ago. We thoroughly appreciated the prompt service and quick delivery. Many thanks. Michael Show reply

Follow up after bathroom renovation – I needed a minor fix to my bathroom cabinet after my bathroom renovation was completed a year ago. Tracey organised the fix quickly and I had needed to get it fixed quickly since I was about to go holiday. The efficiency was appreciated. Show reply
Great job! – We had to replace a water damaged large panel from our Impala Kitchen 16 years after installation. They did an amazing job matching the green iridescent colour and the same great quality. Tracey was great being our liaison in the office and John did a great job with the installation. Kitchen looks like new. Very happy with Impala and can highly recommend them. Show reply
Laundry/bathroom layout conversion/redesign – My wife and I are happy with the recent conversion/redesign of our laundry room to includes a shower area. The designers (Rashi M and Amber P) listened to our requirements and came up with a well layout for us that includes all our wish list. The job was project managed by Robert A. He provided us with a detailed work plan schedule and allocated resources for the project. It was well managed. Show details · 1
