Business FAQs for Kitchen Fitting Contractors
How do I know if my kitchen fitting quote is fair?
Compare your quote against local market rates in Australia. Check if all necessary items are included (like waste removal and GST), verify the tradie is licensed, and get 2-3 additional quotes for comparison. Use our quote analysis tool to spot hidden markups.
Do I need to pay GST on kitchen fitting services?
Yes, in most cases. Legitimate businesses must be registered to collect GST (10%). If a tradie offers a "cash price" without GST, you likely won't get a receipt, a warranty, or protection from Fair Trading if things go wrong.
What paperwork should I ask for from a kitchen fitting tradie?
Always ask for a written quote (not an estimate), proof of liability insurance, and details on any required DA (Development Application) from your local council. Never let work begin without a signed contract outlining the payment schedule.
Is it normal to pay a deposit upfront for kitchen fitting work?
Yes, to cover materials and secure your slot, but be careful. A standard deposit is 10-30%. Never pay 100% upfront. If a tradie asks for full payment before starting, that is a major red flag.
How do I check if a kitchen fitting tradie is legitimate?
Verify their specific trade license (e.g., State License). You can also check reviews and look for complaints lodged with Fair Trading.
What are red flags in kitchen fitting quotes?
Watch for quotes without itemized breakdowns, unusually low prices (corners will be cut), pressure to sign immediately, requests for full payment upfront, or tradies without proper licensing in Australia.
