Mitre 10 Wellington Central is a hardware store located in Te Aro, offering hardware, tools and building essentials in a central city location, from paint and fittings to fasteners and plumbing supplies. The store is run under the legal entity Urban Hardware and Hallz Ltd, with Nick Willard as Store Manager.
Beyond general hardware retail, the store offers on-site paint tinting and key cutting, kitchen and bathroom fittings, and click & collect for online orders. The team also provides expert advice and product support to help customers with their projects.
Mitre 10 Wellington Central runs a dedicated home renovation service covering kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, flooring & tiling, and landscaping. Design consultants work with customers to produce design plans and 3D digital renders with 360-degree views, and the store can arrange a network of local, trusted tradesmen — including builders, electricians, plumbers, painters, plasterers, tilers, floorers, glaziers and installers — plus an in-house architectural engineer who specialises in building resource consents. The renovation process runs through three steps: getting inspired, contacting the team with project details, and a site visit that includes a meet-and-greet with a project manager, design consultant and trusted builder, along with full measurements for an accurate, fixed-price quote.
Mitre 10 Wellington Central sits in the heart of the city on Tory Street, Te Aro, offering hardware, tools and building essentials for everything from a quick fix to a full renovation. Alongside the usual hardware store staples — paint, fittings, fasteners and plumbing supplies — the store handles paint tinting and key cutting on-site, so customers can tick off several jobs in one visit.
Beyond the shop floor, Mitre 10 Wellington Central runs a full home renovation service spanning kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, flooring & tiling and landscaping. The store's design consultants work with customers to plan a renovation from scratch, using 3D digital renders and 360-degree views so customers can see their project before committing to it. For kitchens and laundries, custom cabinetry sizing is available; for flooring and tiling, options range from vinyl and laminate through to timber, bamboo, carpet and tile, including click-together flooring.
The store runs its renovation projects through three stages. The first, Get Inspired, points customers toward ideas and completed projects for kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, painting and tiling. The second, Contact Our Team, involves filling out an online form with project details, which the team follows up on to gather more information. The third stage is a Site Visit, where the Mitre 10 team — including a project manager, a design consultant and a trusted builder — comes to the customer's home or rental property to assess the space, take full measurements, and discuss the scope of work. Site visits carry a refundable deposit, which is credited back against the cost of any service the customer goes on to book through Mitre 10. Because quotes are based on what's seen on-site, any work outside that scope may involve additional agreed costs.
For kitchen, bathroom and laundry projects, the store offers free in-store consultations and quotes, with a range of product ranges available to suit different budgets. Appliances, fittings and fixtures for these spaces are also available through the store, and installers can be arranged to finish the job — whether that's a full kitchen install, a bathroom renovation, or converting unused space into a new laundry.
The flooring and tiling service draws on close supplier relationships to offer a wide range of options across different price points, backed by a digital render of the finished product before installation begins. Landscaping is a newer addition to the store's services, covering site assessment and garden consultation, scaled concept and planting plans, architectural drawings for structural elements, and project management from concept through to completion.
As a locally owned store, Mitre 10 Wellington Central works with an established network of tradesmen, including builders, electricians, plumbers, painters, plasterers, tilers, floorers, glaziers and installers, plus an in-house architectural engineer who specialises in building resource consents. All tradesmen used are board certified, licensed or registered, and the team says it understands local council requirements and Wellington-region building standards, with all work carried out to Health & Safety site standards.
