Finishing an exposed island edge
If a shortened edge faces the living space, explain the finish you expect and send a close-up of the existing profile. A laminated or mitred construction may not permit the same detail after cutting. The scope should address the visible end rather than only the amount removed.
What to send from your Double Bay 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 Eastern Suburbs
Your exact address and access arrangements help us plan the visit. Where parking is restricted, provide the available unloading arrangement and distance to the kitchen. For a visible edge reduction, include a profile photo; the desired finish can be a larger part of the job than the amount of stone removed.
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.
Is face polishing included with an edge reduction?
No. Edge finishing and resurfacing the benchtop face are different tasks. Any additional finish work must be explicitly agreed.
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.
