Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Remove existing worktop and trim, disconnect and cap plumbing for sink or hob as needed

• Measure, template (if needed) and cut new top to fit including sink/hob openings

• Fit edging strips, joins and sealing; apply silicone around sinks

• Secure worktop to base units and check levels

• Reconnect plumbing; advise on electrical reconnection for induction/ceramic hobs (electrician required)

• Clear site of waste and take old worktop for disposal; use dust extraction and PPE when cutting on site

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most single-run tabletop replacements take 2–6 hours on site; factory templating or bespoke stone manufacture typically adds 1–7 days for production and return.

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Do you template on site or in the workshop and how long until the new top is ready?

• Will you handle sink/hob cutouts and will plumbing/electrics be included or charged separately?

• Do you provide a written quote showing materials, labour and disposal costs?

• What warranty do you offer on workmanship and on any supplied materials?

• How will you protect floors and cabinets and how is site cleanup handled?

• If stone or quartz is used, who is responsible for heavy lifting and do you need extra helpers or equipment?

How to Avoid Surprises

• ensure clear access to the work area and move small items off the work surface

• reserve parking close to the property for deliveries and larger offcuts

• confirm who will disconnect and reconnect plumbing and who will do electrical work for hobs

• check building or leasehold rules for external trades, deliveries and working hours

• have appliance dimensions and existing sink/hob positions to hand to speed templating
