Measure the opening, not the glass
The visible glass or metal top overlaps the hole below it. An estimate taken across the old appliance can be misleading. Send the existing cutout size if it is safely accessible, or the old model number and clear photos so the next step can be established.
Freestanding oven cutout - $990 + GST
Freestanding oven cutouts are $990 + GST ($1,089 including GST). The larger opening requires more stone cutting than a standard cooktop cutout. Send the appliance installation drawing and photos so we can confirm the scope before booking.
Small changes still need planning
Removing a narrow strip is not automatically simpler than making a larger cut. Tool access, internal corners, a splashback behind the appliance and nearby joins affect the method. The amount of stone left at the front and back is assessed before approval.
Bigger does not always fit
A wider cooktop may also be deeper beneath the surface, require different ventilation or conflict with an oven. Check the complete installation requirements before ordering. If an enlargement cannot be supported properly, a different appliance or replacement section may be more appropriate.
Request a written cutting quote
Send your suburb, photographs, existing and required dimensions, and the appliance or fitting model. We confirm suitability, the scope of finishing, access requirements and the agreed price before booking. Work on legacy engineered stone is considered only within permitted scope and applicable controls.

Questions, answered.
Can you take just a few millimetres off the existing opening?
A small enlargement may be possible, but a thin strip can still be difficult to access. We check splashbacks, joins, corners and the stone remaining around the opening before confirming.
What does the quote include?
Your written quote sets out the agreed cutting and finishing. Appliance, gas, electrical, plumbing and cabinet work are separate unless explicitly included.
