About Kitchen Revives

Kitchen Revives was founded by Hayden Nottingham, a qualified joiner and cabinet maker with more than 20 years of industry experience and a passion for quality craftsmanship.

Born and raised in Whanganui, Hayden completed his joinery apprenticeship in 2004 before expanding his skills both throughout New Zealand and overseas. His career has taken him from the United Kingdom, where he worked on the fit-out of high-end retail stores and custom cabinetry projects, to Perth, Australia, where he specialised in the manufacture of premium timber joinery, doors, and windows using a variety of hardwoods.

These experiences provided him with extensive expertise in every aspect of cabinetry, installation, project management, and customer service.

In 2018, Hayden and his wife returned to Whanganui with their two daughters to establish Kitchen Revives. Their vision was simple: to provide homeowners throughout Whanganui and the surrounding regions with high-quality kitchen renovations, custom cabinetry, and expert installation services while enjoying the lifestyle and community they love.

Today, Kitchen Revives is built on the values Hayden has developed throughout his career—honesty, reliability, attention to detail, and exceptional workmanship. Whether it's a complete kitchen renovation, a kitchen makeover, custom wardrobes, laundries, or storage solutions, every project is approached with professionalism, clear communication, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations.

As a locally owned and operated business, Kitchen Revives takes pride in helping Whanganui homeowners create beautiful, functional spaces that add value to their homes and enhance everyday living.
