Checking a new cooktop against the actual opening
Do not rely only on the appliance’s advertised size. Send the installation diagram and the old opening dimensions where available. For a newly built kitchen, the stone specification and cabinet plan can help identify limitations before the replacement appliance is ordered.
What to send from your Leppington 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 South West Sydney
Your exact address and access arrangements help us plan the visit. A larger sink can affect the cabinet beneath it as well as the opening above. Include the bowl dimensions and cupboard photos. Keep the old sink connected until the replacement fit and the work sequence have been confirmed.
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.
What if the current hole is too large?
Further cutting will not solve that. A different appliance, an appropriate approved trim solution or a replacement stone section may be needed.
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.
