Stone Cutting Balgowlah Heights | Cooktop & Tap Cutouts

Reducing an island without losing the edge detail

Decide whether you want to shorten an end or reduce the depth along the island. These are different jobs. Measure the current benchtop and the proposed finished size, and show which edges must remain polished. If a waterfall or mitred apron is involved, include it in the photographs rather than treating it as a flat top.

Details that make the quote useful

Walkway planning should include handles, open drawers and seating. Mark the proposed line on a photo without physically cutting or scoring the stone. Photograph supports and cupboards below that line. Removing an overhang can expose an edge with a different profile or reveal a cabinet that was previously concealed. Agree the achievable finishing detail and who handles any cabinetry changes before booking.

Prepare your Balgowlah 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.
