Finishing a shortened natural-stone edge
Include close photos of the current edge, veining and any chips. Tell us which side will be visible after shortening. The new cross-section may look different from the polished top, and the achievable profile needs to be agreed before material is removed.
What to send from your Caringbah property
Start with a wide kitchen photo and a close view of the proposed cut. Include the underside if safely accessible, existing measurements and the manufacturer’s installation drawing for a replacement appliance or sink. Tell us about any joins, cracks or previous repairs and describe parking, stairs or shared-building access.
Choose the right scope
Cooktop enlargement, a new sink opening, tap-hole drilling and overhang reduction have different requirements. Specify every change you want included, and identify which cut edges will remain visible. The written quote confirms the agreed cutting and finishing; licensed gas, electrical and plumbing work is arranged separately.
Booking in Sutherland Shire
Your exact address and access arrangements help us plan the visit. For a peninsula shortening, show how the stone meets a wall or waterfall. A clean visible end may require more than a straight cut, especially where a mitred build-up is present. Agree the finishing scope before setting the new line.
Price and suitability
Standard cutting starts at $690 + GST per cut and tap-hole drilling at $350 + GST. Final pricing depends on the material, cut, finishing and access. Not every installation can be modified: vulnerable rails, poor support or unsuitable edges may call for another solution.

Questions, answered.
Can you match the existing profile?
We assess the profile and access first. Some shaped, laminated or mitred details cannot be recreated in place.
Can you work on my existing engineered stone?
Only suitable permitted work is considered, subject to material identification and applicable requirements. Send the product details and proposed change for assessment.
