Stone Cutting Fairlight | Cooktop & Tap Cutouts

A cooktop upgrade in an apartment kitchen

Before changing the stone, check the building arrangements as well as the appliance. Tell us whether equipment must pass through a shared foyer, a lift or stairs. If your building requires a contractor booking, a loading area reservation or protection to common floors, arrange that before agreeing the cutting date. A small opening can still require a carefully planned route to the kitchen.

Details that make the quote useful

Photograph the front and rear rails around the existing cooktop, including the nearest join. The width printed on the appliance box is not the cutout width. Send the exact new model and installation drawing so the proposed opening can be compared with the existing cabinet and stone. Ask your installer who will disconnect and remove the old cooktop; the stone quote covers the agreed alteration rather than appliance connection.

Prepare your Fairlight 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.
