Can I pick my own installation date?
We have processes in place to generate your installation date. However, if we know when you want to have your cabinetry installed then we can most certainly tailor a process to suit your needs if possible.
We do understand that during certain builds time is limited and everything needs to fit within the desired time, so we will do our best to accommodate your requirements.
How comprehensive is your quotation process?
We try to be as thorough as we can with our quotes and clearly identify all items that are included. If it’s not in the quote, then we haven’t included it in the build.
Your kitchen quote always covers the cabinetry required and in most cases the removal of existing cabinets. All additional trades are not included unless discussed and included as relevant line items.
Do I need to organise council permission for a kitchen renovations?
No council approval is required when renovating kitchens and bathrooms.
Will I lose my services for an extended period?
With any renovation where plumbers and electricians are required there will always be a period where the services will be disconnected. We endeavour to ensure that time is as brief as possible to minimise the impact to your household. In reality most of the work is undertaken when the services are still connected ensuring the ‘down time’ is as brief as possible.
