Stone Cutting Allambie Heights | Cooktop & Tap Cutouts

Planning a gas-to-induction change

Start with the induction installation manual and the existing opening, not the advertised appliance width. The new unit’s body, ventilation space and position over drawers or an oven all need checking. Your electrician confirms the electrical requirements, and a licensed gasfitter handles the existing gas connection. StoneCutting assesses the proposed alteration to the installed benchtop.

Details that make the quote useful

Send a wide kitchen photo, close views around the cooktop and an underside photo where accessible. If the new opening extends towards a sink, join or benchtop edge, make that distance clear. Coordinate removal of the old appliance with the agreed stone visit. An opening that is already too large cannot be made smaller by cutting, so establish the fit before purchasing.

Prepare your Allambie Heights enquiry

Email info@stonecutting.com.au or use the quote form with your suburb, postcode and photos of the whole bench. Include the stone product and thickness if known, the new fitting model and any existing damage. You can enquire before you have every measurement; final dimensions and suitability are agreed before work. Tell us about stairs, parking and the route to the kitchen so access can be planned.

Price, scope and the finished result

Standard cooktop or sink cutting starts from $690 + GST per cut. Tap-hole drilling is $350 + GST for the first hole and $100 + GST for each additional hole at the same visit. These cover different scopes from lengthwise edge reductions or whole-section removal. Your written quote confirms the actual cut, material, finishing and access. Plumbing, gas and electrical work are separate unless explicitly included.
