Frequently asked questions
Q / How much does custom cabinetry cost?
Costs vary depending on materials, size, and complexity. We provide fixed-price quotes based on your space and design, so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Q / What’s the difference between custom, semi-custom, and flat-pack cabinetry?
-
Custom: Designed and built to your exact specifications. Perfect fit and unique layouts.
-
Semi-Custom: Pre-made modules with some customization options.
-
Flat-Pack: DIY-friendly kits, limited in flexibility and design.
Q / How long does the process take from quote to installation?
From accepting a quote, typical lead times are 3–12 weeks for manufacture and installation, depending on project size.
Q / Do you handle design as well as build?
Yes. We can work with your ideas or create a complete design plan to maximise space, functionality, and aesthetics.
Q / Do you handle installation?
Yes. Our team ensures every cabinet, wardrobe, and door fits perfectly and functions as intended. We can even work with your tradies, or we have our own preferred tradies.
Q / What happens if measurements aren’t exact?
We carefully measure every space and adjust designs to guarantee a precise fit. Minor onsite adjustments are sometimes needed to ensure perfection.
Q / Will there be much disruption during install?
We plan installations to be efficient and tidy, minimising inconvenience to your household or workspace.
Q / How do I care for my cabinetry?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Regular maintenance ensures longevity and keeps surfaces looking new.
Q / How long should cabinetry last?
Quality cabinetry can last decades when cared for properly. Materials, construction, and usage all influence lifespan.
Q / Can you repair my drawer?
We only use Blum drawer hardware as it is the best.
Some hardware on the market can break and the drawer front brackets are the common weak point. We see a lot of broken brackets but although these look similar, each manufacturer makes these in a different way so they are not interchangeable without replacing the entire drawer.
If there is a brand marking on the hardware, you can sometimes find a replacement part via hardware stores. If not, it is unfortunately one of the many budget imported hardware options that cannot be replaced.
Q / Can you fix my broken hinge?
We only use Blum hinges.
Most frequently broken hinge is the corner door hinge as it has a lot of pressure due to the weight of the two doors when extended.
Q / More information on Blum.
Hinges, lift systems, box and runner systems by Blum continue to provide powerful functionality under severe conditions. They prove this by passing our stringent motion and load tests. And we only launch products that have gone through our meticulous testing process, as do our customers and partners in the furniture industry worldwide.
For example our hinges are tested to 200,000 opening and closing cycles.
