About Flow Renovations
A small Melbourne renovation business, carpenter-led, built on doing fewer jobs properly rather than more jobs quickly.
Flow Renovations is run by Sven, with Dean alongside him and a team of trusted subcontractors who have worked with us for years. Sven has ten years on the tools, with a carpentry background in restoration work, and has been running Flow Renovations since 2022. In that time we’ve completed well over a hundred projects.
Our workshop is in Williamstown North, which is where the business grew up — Sven is from the west. We’re now also based in Caulfield North, which is how we came to work across both sides of the city.
What we’re actually good at
Taking the thinking off you. Once you engage us, we don’t hand the problem back. We solve things before bringing them to you, and we only interrupt you for decisions that are genuinely yours to make — not to explain everything wrong with your house or why something can’t be done.
The practical version of that is fewer variations. We look properly before we price, so the number in your quote is the number that accounts for what your house is hiding. Our initial figure is sometimes higher than the cheapest one you get. Our final invoice is usually much closer to it, and that is where the saving actually lives.
The jobs we do best
Kitchens, bathrooms, ensuites and laundries — renovated properly and finished once. We’ve worked on most of what Melbourne is built from: post-war brick veneer, Californian bungalows, weatherboard cottages, townhouses and apartments, across a wide range of budgets.
What our best projects have in common has never been the size of the budget. It’s someone who has been thinking about the room for a while, has a sense of how they want to live in it, and is glad to hand the problem over. Give us the idea and we’ll work out how to get you there.
And if you’re not yet sure what’s realistic, that’s a perfectly normal place to start — most of the people we work with began exactly there. Call us and we’ll talk it through before anyone commits to anything.

In our clients’ words
We recently had Flow Renovations do a total renovation of our bathroom. Sven’s input during the design of the bathroom was invaluable and resulted in a great looking bathroom. Once the work got started a number of structural problems were found, however Sven was able to fix every problem that was encountered. We now have a lovely new bathroom and I highly recommend Sven and Flow Renovations.

When we finally decided to renovate our old kitchen the hardest decision was to find someone we could trust to take on the job. Luckily we found Sven and his team who went above & beyond to deliver our dream kitchen.

We used Flow Renovations to remodel and update our existing bathroom to make it mobility accessible. From the initial consultation through to the finished bathroom Sven and his team were efficient and reliable. We are very happy with the new bathroom and the process of transforming it.

Sven renovated my 1960s bathroom. I was impressed with his attention to detail and ideas, and didn’t hesitate engaging him to also renovate my kitchen and laundry. He possesses both practical expertise and a strong sense of aesthetics. Sven listened to how I wanted to use my space, such as setting up a nook in my kitchen for working from home, and was able to accommodate these additions in a seamless way that doesn’t intrude on the main function of the room. On top of being very competent (and a perfectionist!), he was professional and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Flow Renovations.
