About Torrent Kitchens

Torrent emerged from the post-quake rebuild with a deep bench of cabinetmakers and a lean operating model. They handle ~80 kitchens a year, mostly mid-tier renos in Riccarton, Cashmere, Halswell and Selwyn. Pricing is keenly competitive without slipping into the trap of 'builder's grade everything'.

Known for

"Quoting realistic lead times when half their competitors are quoting fantasy ones to win the job."
