Custom kitchens
freighted to Heathcote.
Heathcote is one freight run from our door in Rockhampton. What arrives is a kitchen drawn for your room, in 18mm moisture-resistant board with Blum hardware throughout.
The short answer
Yes. Nothing about Heathcote changes the product: 18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and Blum soft-close hardware on every cabinet, cut to your drawing and freighted south along the Hume Highway. What changes is the freight line on the quote and who fits it, because installation outside Central Queensland is your own builder or installer rather than us.
Why does the specification matter in Heathcote?
Farm houses take a kind of use that suburban kitchens do not — boots, buckets, big cooking, and a back door that is really the front door. The specification we ship assumes that rather than hoping otherwise. Victorian-era cottages with small, awkward kitchens where a cut-to-size run beats a catalogue every time.
How does it reach Heathcote?
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 Heathcote?
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.
Do I supply the appliances, or do you?
Most Heathcote orders come with the appliances already chosen, and that is the easier way round. Send us the model numbers, or the cut-out dimensions from the spec sheet, and the cabinets are cut to take them. If you would rather we supplied them, they are quoted as their own lines. What does not work is guessing: a 900mm cooktop in a cabinet cut for 600mm is a new cabinet, not an adjustment.
How do I compare this with a Heathcote cabinetmaker?
Take our itemised quote to any Heathcote cabinetmaker and compare it line for line, which is exactly what it is formatted for. Ask them three things: board thickness and moisture rating, edging method, hardware brand. If the answers match ours and the number is better, take theirs - a local supplier with the same specification and no freight line is a genuinely good outcome. If the answers are vague, you have learned something either way.
What should be ready before the kitchen lands?
The old kitchen out, the floor as level as it is going to get, walls patched and painted where the cabinets will not cover them, and the plumber and electrician booked for the days after the fit rather than the same day. Painting after the cabinetry is in is slower and the cut-in never looks as good. Our installation guide sets out the order of trades.
Where else do you ship in Ballarat and the Goldfields?
We ship to Ballarat, Bendigo, Castlemaine, Maryborough, Daylesford, Kyneton, Creswick, Clunes and the rest of the region on the same route. The Ballarat and the Goldfields page covers the region, and Victoria covers the state.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Kitchens here are warm and steamy for a few hours and cold for the rest. That cycling is what lifts glued edging off a panel, and it is the single best argument for the specification we ship as standard.
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.

Frequently asked
Heathcote — 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 Heathcote?
Yes. Heathcote 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 Heathcote?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Heathcote 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 Heathcote?
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 Ballarat and the Goldfields orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Heathcote?
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 Blum soft-close hinges and runners on every cabinet, in every state. The specification is printed on your quote so you can hold it against anything else you are offered.
Is there a deposit to get a Heathcote quote?
No. The drawing and the itemised quote cost nothing and carry no obligation. Payment terms for the order itself are stated on that quote.
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.
