Existing installations need a specific assessment
This service concerns existing installed benchtops and permitted minor modifications. It does not offer manufacture or installation of prohibited engineered stone. The material, proposed operation and applicable state requirements determine whether work can proceed.
Useful information for a legacy stone enquiry
Provide the installation date if known, original brand and product details, and images showing the full benchtop. For a cooktop enlargement, include the existing opening and new installation drawing. Do not cut, grind or drill the material yourself to identify it.
Scope and finish must both be agreed
A minor appliance-opening change may be feasible where sound supported stone remains. Large layout changes, weak rails and badly repaired areas need different solutions. Sanding the factory surface changes the sheen, so face restoration is not included in a standard cutting service.
Before booking
Send your suburb, product details, full kitchen photos and manufacturer dimensions for the new appliance or fitting. We confirm the proposed operation and finishing in writing. The work area must be accessible, and gas, electrical and plumbing tasks need the appropriate licensed trades.
Official guidance
Check the regulator guidance for current requirements.

Questions, answered.
Can I order a completely new layout in legacy engineered stone?
A substantial layout change must not be assumed to qualify as a minor modification. Send the full proposal so suitability and applicable requirements can be assessed before any booking.
Can you guarantee every installation can be cut?
No. Material condition, support, cut position and access determine suitability. We explain limitations and alternatives before agreeing to the work.
