When to call us for cabinets
Your kitchen layout is decided by the plumbing and wiring, long before the cabinets arrive. We work alongside your foreman or contractor, and we quote from your plans.
Plan early with the other trades
Sink, stove and outlet positions decide the cabinet layout, so plan them together.
Measure after tiling
We measure once the walls and floor are tiled.
Built to the real room
Made to the measured sizes, not the plan sizes.
Installed near the end
After painting, so the cabinets stay clean.
Fixing or replacing?
The cabinets problems we see most
Swollen boards
Particle board and cheap MDF soak up moisture near the sink and swell.
Termites
Untreated wood is food for anay.
Sagging doors and drawers
Cheap hinges and slides wear out in months.
Cabinets that don't fit
Gaps against walls and floors that aren't straight.
How we do it right
Our cabinets checklist
Measure on site
Walls and floors are rarely straight, so we measure for the room you have.
Material on the quote
Marine plywood for sink areas, and every board named.
Treated against termites
Wood treated before assembly.
Edges sealed
Edge banding so moisture can't get into the board.
Hardware named
Hinges and drawer slides written on your quote.
Level and aligned
Fixed to the wall, doors lined up, drawers running smooth.
Before you hire anyone
Four questions to ask any cabinet maker
Ask whoever you're thinking of hiring, us included. A good answer is specific. "Don't worry, boss" isn't an answer.
- What board is the cabinet box made of?
- What goes under the sink, and how is it sealed?
- Which hinges and drawer slides?
- Is the wood treated against termites?

Questions
Cabinets: what people ask
Marine plywood or MDF?
Marine plywood handles moisture better and holds screws well, so it suits kitchens and sinks. MDF gives a smooth finish for painted doors in dry areas.
Can you match my existing kitchen?
We match colour and finish as closely as we can, and show you a sample first.
How long does it take?
Cabinets are made to your sizes. Your quote has the start date and the install date.
