A kitchen worth keeping,
freighted into Hastings.
Drawn to your room in Rockhampton and freighted to Hastings, flat packed or delivered assembled. Same board, same Blum hardware, same drawings as every kitchen we build.
The short answer
Every cabinet is cut to your wall lengths rather than picked from catalogue widths, then freighted to Hastings south along the Hume Highway. 18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and soft-close hardware as standard. Installation in Hastings is by your builder or kitchen installer, working from the dimensioned service drawings that ship with the order.
What does Hastings housing do to a kitchen?
As the service town for the district, the housing here runs from century-old cottages to new estate builds, and almost none of it suits a catalogue cabinet width. Every run we cut is drawn to the wall it is going on. Weekenders and permanent downsizers in the same street, wanting the same kitchen to do both jobs.
How does the kitchen get to Hastings?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted south along the Hume Highway. Flat cartons are labelled to a numbered drawing, one per cabinet where possible, with doors and fronts wrapped separately and the Blum hardware bagged against the cabinet it belongs to. Assembled orders arrive as finished boxes, doors hung and adjusted, which takes more truck space and shows as a higher freight line. Both are on the same quote so the choice is a number rather than a guess.
Who fits it in Hastings?
Your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer, plus a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician for their parts. Ask each for a licence number and check it yourself — in Victoria that is the Victorian Building Authority. Every order ships with dimensioned service drawings showing each waste, water point and outlet, so the trades rough in to the plan rather than to a guess. Our install guide sets out the three trades and the fixed order they work in.
What cabinet sizes should I be asking for?
You should not have to ask: the run is drawn to your wall, so the cabinet widths come out of the measurement rather than being chosen from a list. What is worth deciding is the split between drawers and cupboards, because that is the difference you live with. Our cabinet sizes guide covers the standard dimensions that do matter, such as bench height and overhead clearance.
How do I measure from Hastings with nobody visiting?
Because we do not visit Hastings, your measurements are the drawing. Wall to wall at three heights and use the smallest number. Ceiling height in every corner, because floors are never level. Every window and door with its distance from the nearest corner. Where the waste, the water and the power are now. Then a photograph of each corner of the room. Our measuring guide lists the lot, and a designer checks your numbers against the photographs before anything is cut.
What actually ships with the order?
A numbered plan and elevations, a service drawing marking every waste, water point and outlet for your Hastings plumber and electrician, the hardware bagged per cabinet, kickboards and end panels cut to length, and fillers where the room needs them. Nothing on that list is an extra. The service drawing in particular is what stops a cabinet being cut on site to clear a pipe nobody planned for.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Four real seasons means four cycles of movement a year. Over a decade that is what separates a kitchen that still closes properly from one that does not, and it is decided by the edging and the hinge, not by the door colour.
The same three questions decide any kitchen anywhere: board thickness and moisture rating, edging method, hardware brand. Ours are 18mm moisture-resistant, laser-bonded and Blum, and they are printed on every quote. How to judge a flat pack.
- 18mm moisture-resistant board
- Laser-bonded edging, no glue line
- Soft-close hinges and full-extension runners
- Cut to your drawing, not catalogue widths
- Pre-drilled and labelled per cabinet
- Fixed itemised quote, freight its own line
What goes inside it
Anyone can sell you boxes.
This is the part that takes knowing.
Carcasses and doors decide how long it lasts. The fittings decide whether you like using it — and most suppliers charge for them at the end. These are included in your Hastings kitchen, not quoted as extras once the number is agreed. That is the difference, and it is the one most suppliers will not match.
Plate and pot racks
Pegs and rails inside a deep drawer so plates stand up and pots stop stacking into each other.

Pull-down wall basket
The top shelf of an overhead, brought down to where you can reach it. The shelf you stopped using becomes storage again.

Drawer organisers
Cutlery, knives and spices in fitted trays cut to the drawer, instead of a plastic tray that slides around in it.

Frequently asked
Hastings — questions
If your question is not here, call the studio. We would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Ask us directly →Do you deliver flat pack kitchens to Hastings?
Yes. Hastings is served south along the Hume Highway, and freight is quoted to your postcode as its own line on the quote rather than folded into the cabinetry price.
Do you install kitchens in Hastings?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Hastings your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer fits it, working from the dimensioned service drawings that ship with every order. Our install guide covers the three trades and the order they work in.
Should I order flat pack or assembled to Hastings?
Both are quoted on the same drawing. Flat cartons ship for less and get through tight doorways; assembled arrives with carcasses built and doors adjusted so your installer is fitting rather than building. Over this distance most the Mornington Peninsula orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Hastings?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In Victoria, the Victorian Building Authority is the register to check against.
What board and hardware do you use?
18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and soft-close hinges and full-extension runners on every cabinet, in every state, with the hardware brand named on your quote. The specification is printed on your quote so you can hold it against anything else you are offered.
How long will a Hastings order take?
It depends on the kitchen and the freight route, so it is stated on your quote for your job rather than guessed here. What you can plan around is the sequence: drawing, your sign-off, cutting, then freight.
Can I add pull-downs and organisers to a Hastings kitchen?
Yes, and they are quoted per item rather than bundled into a package you did not ask for. Pull-down wall baskets, magic corners, tall larder pull-outs and drawer organisers can all go into a Hastings order. If you order delivered assembled they are fitted before it ships; flat packed, they arrive with the cabinet they belong to.
Delivered assembled
The assembly is done
before it arrives.
Carcasses built square on a bench, Blum hardware fitted, doors hung and adjusted to even gaps. On site you are fixing finished cabinets to a wall, not building them on the floor. Your builder or installer levels it, fixes it and fits the benchtop, working from our drawings. Prefer to build it yourself? The same kitchen ships flat pack.
Tall units arrive as built boxes
Handleless rail on an assembled run
A long run arrives as numbered assembled units
