A larger induction cooktop above existing drawers
The opening can be the correct width while the appliance body still conflicts with a drawer or cabinet rail. Provide a photo with the top drawer removed only if safe and accessible, together with the induction manual. Confirm the electrical supply separately.
What to send from your Chatswood 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 North Shore
Your exact address and access arrangements help us plan the visit. If retaining the existing splashback, show the distance from it to the appliance opening. A deeper cooktop may need changes that cannot be solved by widening the hole alone. Include the manufacturer’s rear clearance requirements.
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.
