Kitchen cabinetry
shipped to Sawtell.
A kitchen cut to your measurements rather than picked from catalogue widths, packed flat for the run to Sawtell or delivered with the doors already hung and adjusted.
The short answer
Yes, we ship to Sawtell. The kitchen is drawn to your measurements, cut in Rockhampton and freighted south along the Pacific Highway. You choose flat packed or delivered assembled on the same quote, and your own trades fit it — we install in Central Queensland only. Nothing is due to see the drawing or the price, and nothing is cut until you sign the drawing off.
What brief does Sawtell actually set?
Salt air is relentless on hardware. It gets into unbranded runners and hinges and they stiffen, then sag, and the doors stop lining up. Every cabinet runs Blum soft-close hinges and full-extension runners as standard. Retirement and holiday-let building, which means kitchenettes and compact kitchens outnumber full renovations.
What is the run to Sawtell?
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 Sawtell?
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 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.
Would a kitchenette suit the room better?
If the room in Sawtell is a studio, a granny flat, an under-house conversion or a short-stay unit, a kitchenette may be the right answer and it starts at $4,500. Sink, bench, cold storage, and a cooktop where the run allows. Same carcasses and the same Blum hardware as a full kitchen, in a fraction of the length - and it fits through a doorway that a full run would not.
Who gets the cartons off the truck in Sawtell?
You do, or whoever you arrange. Freight to a residential address is generally kerbside, and a kitchen is a lot of cartons, several of them long and heavy enough to want two people. Builders usually have this handled. If you are doing it yourself, line up help and somewhere dry for the cartons before the delivery date rather than on the day.
Where else do you ship in the Mid North Coast?
We ship to Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Taree, Kempsey, Forster, Nambucca Heads, Wauchope, Laurieton 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.
Between the humidity and the summer storms, the parts of a kitchen that suffer here are the ones nobody photographs — the sink cabinet floor, the edge behind the dishwasher. Moisture-resistant board is specified for exactly those.
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
- Blum soft-close hinges and runners
- Cut to your drawing, not catalogue widths
- Pre-drilled and labelled per cabinet
- Fixed itemised quote, freight its own line

Frequently asked
Sawtell — 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 Sawtell?
Yes. Sawtell 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 Sawtell?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Sawtell 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 Sawtell?
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 Sawtell?
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 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.
How long will a Sawtell 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.
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.
