FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • Are you a Registered Builder?

    Yes. Leongatha Kitchens & Bathrooms is a Registered Building Practitioner with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) (DB-L 64755, CDB-L 66067). We’re also a proud member of the two main industry associations: Housing Industry Association (HIA) and Kitchen & Bathrooms Designers Institute (KBDi)

  • Do you have a guarantee on your work?

    Yes. Cabinets, benches, fittings and accessories supplied by Leongatha Kitchens & Bathrooms come with a 7-year warranty. Blum hinges and drawer runners are guaranteed for the life of the product, while other accessories are guaranteed for at least one year. Contact us to find out full details and any conditions that apply.

  • Do you only do kitchen and bathroom projects?

    Yes! Whether it’s a new home, remodel or commercial space, we build outdoor kitchens, laundries and other custom cabinetry like bathroom vanities, wardrobes and TV units. If you dream it, we can make it!

  • Do you offer free consultations and/or quotes?

    Yes. We offer a free in-home consultation with one of our accredited designers. The intended outcome of that process is a custom design and price for your project.

  • Why do I need a qualified designer for my project?

    An accredited designer of kitchens, bathrooms and interior spaces will make an invaluable difference to your project. It’s easy to fill a space with cabinets, benchtops and drawers, but much harder to make that space both functional and beautiful.


    That’s where a good designer is worth their weight in gold. They meet with you in your home and use their experience to come up with design and space-saving ideas.

  • Where should I start?

    A great way to start is to research different styles and finishes and make a note of what you do and don’t like. You’ll find lots of inspiration in design magazines and on design focused websites like Houzz and Pinterest. The Leongatha Kitchens & Bathrooms website has an inspiration gallery of completed projects.

  • What happens at the in-home design appointment?

    The first appointment can either be in-home or at our showroom. The appointment itself usually lasts 1 hour. First, the designer will ask lots of questions to find out about your lives and lifestyle, your needs and requirements, and what’s most important to you. Then they’ll offer professional advice to make sure you’re aware of everything that can be done, and the most suitable styles, finishes, fittings, materials and components.


    Sometimes the designer will hold one more meeting to discuss the proposed plans and specifications before providing a price. 

  • What happens after I decide to go ahead with the quote?

    Once you are happy with the design and price, you sign a contract, pay a deposit and we get the ball rolling. Next you will sign off on the specifications and materials. We will check-measure the space and order materials.

  • How long will it take to build and install my new kitchen cabinetry?

    Manufacture

    Manufacturing times vary based on the door cabinet material used.

    Colour Board ‐ 2-3 weeks from order

    Vinyl (flat or profiled) ‐ 4‐5 weeks from order

    2 Pac (flat or profiled  ‐ 4‐5 weeks from order

    Timber ‐ 4‐6 weeks from order.


    Installation

    Once your joinery is completed in the workshop and ready to be installed, we agree on an installation date at your earliest convenience. A “standard installation” normally takes an initial 2‐4 days to have the cabinets installed.

     

    If you have stone benchtops, they are templated on day 3-4 and take a further 7‐10 working days to fabricate. Trades can fit off their work on or after day 4 of the installation. Splashbacks can be templated and installed and, in most kitchens, are usable at this point.

  • Will the agreed price change at any point?

    The contract signed by you and us is the final price. The only time this might change is when you request to make a design change or add something new. In those circumstances, a variation will be written up, agreed and signed off on again.

  • What method of payment do you accept?

    Currently we only accept Direct Bank Transfers, Cheque and Bank Cheques. Contact us to discuss payment options.

  • Do you organise the tradespeople?

    Yes. We handle the complete project management throughout the whole process. We will organise your job from design to finish, including any trades required (electrician, plumber, tiler, plasterer, builder). Alternatively, we can be flexible and work with you if you would rather organise trades yourself. Whatever you choose, we keep you informed throughout the project.

  • How long will I be without a kitchen during the renovation process?

    Every renovation is different, but as a general guide you will be without a working kitchen for around two to four weeks, depending on the scope of works.

  • How much does a new kitchen or bathroom cost?

    There's no firm answer to that question, but we've got a blog article that goes into how much a kitchen or bathroom costs that'll give you a very good idea.

  • What should I use to clean my new benchtops and cabinetry?

    Now that you have your new kitchen, bathroom or cabinets, you will want to keep them in top condition.  What should you use to clean them? The answer is…the same product we use to clean our own home! Tri Nature Lifestyle Home Cleaning Products.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS THINK

“We chose LKB to renovate our beach house kitchen/bathroom/laundry because we had seen that they produced practical design layouts and good quality work. We were then very happy that our work was completed on time to a nice standard - the new rooms look great and work well. Also, other trades (carpentry/plastering/plumbing/electrical) were well organised and managed by LKB to complete associated mods to doors and walls etc "
The S Family - Inverloch
“We have been more than happy with the kitchen renovation supplied by Dan and his team. From first contact to final sign off we found that nothing was too much trouble. Everything was completed in the agreed time frame. Although we had a good idea about what we wanted, Dan was able to supply some excellent ideas about maximising allocation of space - especially those problematic corner cupboards.”
C - Leongatha
“Dan’s choice of skilled craftspersons is to be admired. They were always on time, friendly, extremely efficient and cleaned up at the end of every day. After using the kitchen for 18 months there is not a single thing we would change or say “if we were doing this again.....” We highly recommend Leongatha Kitchens.”
