Kempsey kitchens,
cut to your room.
Every Kempsey order ships with a numbered plan, elevations and a service drawing marking every waste, water point and outlet, so your plumber and electrician are not guessing.
The short answer
A Kempsey kitchen is quoted from your measurements and photographs, not from a site visit, and the quote is fixed and itemised with freight shown as its own line. It is cut in Rockhampton and ships south along the Pacific Highway. You choose flat packed or delivered assembled on the same drawing. Fitting is done by your own trades — our installation team works Central Queensland only.
Why does the specification matter in Kempsey?
Older housing stock means walls that are not straight and ceilings that are not level, and a catalogue kitchen deals with both by filling the gap with a panel. Cutting to the measured room is the difference between a kitchen that fits and one that has been made to fit. Retirement and holiday-let building, which means kitchenettes and compact kitchens outnumber full renovations.
How does it reach Kempsey?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted south along the Pacific 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 Kempsey?
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 New South Wales that is NSW Fair Trading. 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 suits a granny flat or a rental in Kempsey?
A good share of what we ship to Kempsey goes into secondary dwellings, granny flats and rentals. Those kitchens fail in a predictable order - edging near the sink, then drawer runners, then hinge adjustment - and all three are specification, not bad luck. The board, edging and hardware we ship as standard are chosen so the rental kitchen and the owner kitchen are the same kitchen.
What goes wrong with cheap cabinetry first?
In a predictable order: the edging lifts near the sink and the dishwasher, then water gets into the exposed core and the panel swells, then the drawer runners start to drag, then the doors stop lining up because the hinges have no adjustment left. None of that is bad luck. It is what 16mm standard-core board with glued edging and unbranded hardware does, and it is the reason we do not sell it.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Check the delivery against the numbered drawing on the day it lands in Kempsey, before the truck leaves if you can. Count the cartons, look at the door and drawer fronts. If a panel is damaged or a carton is missing, photograph it and ring the studio the same day. A replacement is cut from the drawing we hold on file, so it matches the rest of the kitchen rather than being re-measured from scratch.
Where else do you ship in the Mid North Coast?
We ship to Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Taree, Forster, Nambucca Heads, Wauchope, Laurieton, South West Rocks and the rest of the region on the same route. The the Mid North Coast page covers the region, and New South Wales covers the state.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Summers here are humid enough that the cheap end of flat pack fails at the sink and dishwasher first, usually inside five years. Moisture-resistant board and laser-bonded edging are standard on every cabinet we cut.
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.

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 Kempsey kitchen, not quoted as extras once the number is agreed. That is the difference, and it is the one most suppliers will not match.

Frequently asked
Kempsey — 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 Kempsey?
Yes. Kempsey is served south along the Pacific 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 Kempsey?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Kempsey 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 Kempsey?
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 Mid North Coast orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Kempsey?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In New South Wales, NSW Fair Trading 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.
Can I see a sample before ordering in Kempsey?
Yes. Door, board and edging samples are posted out, and for most people that settles the colour question better than a screen does. Ask when you send the dimensions through.
Can I add pull-downs and organisers to a Kempsey 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 Kempsey 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.
Laser-bonded edging, no glue line
