Before the appointment
Confirm the cutting scope, appliance model and final dimensions. Send access details, including parking, stairs or building-management conditions. Have the appropriate trades arrange any required disconnection and establish who removes the old appliance.
Clear the route and work area
Remove loose household items from the agreed area and provide a clear equipment route. Discuss access to suitable water and power. Keep children, pets and other occupants away from the work zone and avoid scheduling unrelated work in the same space.
Keep product information ready
Have the manufacturer drawing and new fitting available as agreed. Tell the team about known repairs, loose panels or changes made since the quote. A different appliance model can mean a different opening, even if the advertised width is the same.
Arrange the return to service
Cutting completion and appliance reconnection are separate milestones. Your licensed trades should confirm installation and commissioning arrangements. Before they attend, make sure the agreed stone work is complete and any changes to the original plan have been communicated.

Should I empty the cupboards below the cut?

How do I request a quote?
