About Wellington Kitchen & Bathrooms

Owned and operated by Regan Powell, Wellington Kitchen & Bathrooms brings over 20 years of trade experience to every project. Regan also manages Hutt City Builders, with the two businesses working in tandem to offer comprehensive building solutions across the region. Driven by this strong foundation and growing rapidly, Wellington Kitchen & Bathrooms delivers the specialised focus needed for modern interior transformations.

Regan is an active Master Builder, sits on the regional board, and stays involved with the Apprentice of the Year awards to nurture the next generation of top-tier talent. Our track record speaks for itself: every single home entered into the Master Builders awards by our team has earned a Gold Medal, including multiple Wellington House of the Year titles and placements in the National Top 100 over the past five years. When you build with us, you get the exact same award-winning team on your site—from our qualified foremen and joiners to our trusted subcontractors (including national award-winning painters). By using the same proven trades across all projects, we ensure consistent quality, smooth communication, and maximum cost-efficiency whether your budget is $50,000 or well over $100,000.

We work primarily with single people, couples, families, retirees, people who with a long history in the area and people who have recently arrived. One thing our valued clients have in common are clear goals and design ideas for their homes. Managing a home transformation requires trust, polite communication, and continuous collaboration. Regan serves as both an active owner-operator on the tools and your main point of contact, ensuring you are updated every step of the way.

We understand that renovation plans evolve as ideas develop. That is why we operate with total transparency. While projects are managed on a charge-up basis to accommodate plan changes naturally, we clearly explain any time and cost implications so there are never any surprises.

Renovating means sharing your personal space with a building crew, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our job sites are kept clean, tidy, and safe, and clients are always welcome to visit and inspect progress.

To minimise disruption to your daily life, we coordinate our workflows efficiently—such as manufacturing custom joinery offsite in parallel with on-site demolition and structural rebuilds. Our quickest turnaround time for targeted renovations is just three months. If you are living onsite during construction, we can provide temporary facilities to keep your home functional. Alternatively, if you plan to travel, let us know—we can coordinate major works while you are away so you return to a transformed space.
