Healthy Homes-ready joinery for Gisborne rentals
Hard-wearing, moisture-resistant kitchens, bathrooms and laundries built to support Healthy Homes compliance — and to survive tenancy after tenancy. Designed, built and installed locally.
Compliant. Durable. On schedule.
Rental cabinetry is a different job to a family kitchen — it has to meet the standards, take heavy use and be ready to re-let fast. That's exactly what we build.
Why now
All private rentals must meet the Healthy Homes standards, and kitchens and bathrooms are hard on cabinetry. Compliance-driven upgrades are a recurring cost — worth doing once, properly, with joinery that lasts.
We build to support the ventilation standard and coordinate with your other trades.
Why landlords choose Flow Joinery
Compliance, sorted
The Healthy Homes standards set hard rules for ventilation in rental kitchens and bathrooms. We build and install so your fit-out supports compliant extraction and airflow — no guesswork.
Built to take a beating
Tenanted homes are hard on cabinetry. We use moisture-resistant materials and commercial-grade hardware chosen to handle heavy, everyday use between tenancies.
Fast turnarounds
Empty weeks cost money. As a local maker doing design, build and install in-house, we keep to schedule so you can re-let sooner.
One point of contact
Manage one property or a portfolio — you deal with our team directly, from quote to install, with a single invoice and a 5-year workmanship warranty.
The rules we help your fit-out meet
The Healthy Homes ventilation standard sets clear requirements for rental kitchens and bathrooms. Here's the shape of it — we build so your joinery works with compliant extraction, not against it.
- Kitchens and bathrooms must have an extractor fan that vents to the outside.
- Kitchen extractor fans installed after 1 July 2019 need a minimum 150mm duct diameter or 50 L/s exhaust capacity.
- Bathroom fans installed after that date need a minimum 120mm duct or 25 L/s.
- Living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens and bedrooms need openable windows/doors/skylights totalling at least 5% of the floor area.
- Pre-2019 extractor fans that stop working must be replaced with compliant models.
General guidance only, not compliance advice — the Healthy Homes standards are set by the Government and updated periodically. Check the current requirements at tenancy.govt.nz and confirm your property's obligations. Fan supply/wiring and ducting through the building may involve an electrician or ventilation specialist; we'll coordinate the joinery around it.

Landlord questions
Can you help my rental meet the Healthy Homes ventilation standard?
Yes. We build and install kitchen, bathroom and laundry joinery designed to support compliant extraction and airflow — including the right ducting and fan provisions. We'll flag anything in your space that needs an electrician or ventilation specialist so the whole job lines up.
Do you work with property managers?
Absolutely. We're happy to deal directly with your property manager for access, quotes and scheduling, and to invoice however suits your arrangement.
Can you do multiple properties to the same spec?
Yes — that's one of the advantages of a local maker. We can set a hard-wearing, consistent specification and roll it out across a portfolio on a schedule that fits your vacancies.
Is rental cabinetry covered by your warranty?
Every project we design, build and install is backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty, including rental work. Normal wear and tear and tenant damage aren't covered — see our warranty page for the detail.
