An appliance upgrade during a kitchen refresh
Tell us if cabinet fronts or splashbacks are also being changed. The final cutout must suit the replacement appliance and the retained cabinet body. Photograph any oven below the cooktop and provide the complete installation manual so clearance requirements are not missed.
What to send from your Frenchs Forest 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 Northern Beaches
Your exact address and access arrangements help us plan the visit. An island reduction should be measured against the actual walkway, including open drawers and door handles. For a cooktop change, photograph the front and rear stone rails so the remaining material can be assessed before booking.
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.
Should the cabinet work happen first?
The sequence depends on what changes. Confirm final cabinet positions and appliance requirements before fixing the stone cutting dimensions.
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.
