This is an oddly specific request, and something that's been hard to search for online. Hopefully there's some feedback here.
We are replacing our gas cook top to electric, as it's the only gas connection in our house and natural gas is costing $75/quarter just to have connected. On top of that, our cook top is outdated and ugly.
The problem is in the cut out in our stone bench top. Whilst the top of our cook top is just about standard (860mmx500m), the cut out in the stone is small (824mmx473mm). This is making it hard to buy standard 90cm cook tops, which are usually 90cmx50cm, with cut outs of about 88cmx48cm.
We've rang a stone mason to inquire about cutting our stone to make the cut out larger, and he said he basically wanted nothing to do with it - as up until a few months ago, he would've been allowed to 'dry cut' it, but now must 'wet cut' stone, and it'd ruin our floors, cupboards, everything around it. Basically, not happening.
So now we're stuck searching for a 90cm electric cook top, with a cut out that fits 824mmx473mm. The cut out can be smaller if possible, as we can pack it out. However, it can't be bigger.
After some search tips, or any cook top that'd fit that anyone knows about.
As far as we're concerned, there's no alternative to not doing this. We aren't keeping gas. We've found one single cook top that fits (Beko brand), but before we pull the trigger, we'd like to know if there are more options.
Price… Anything below $2500.
TIA!!
Keep looking for stonemason don’t open the box until he arrives
Incase you need to return it.
It’s not a hard job if you have the skills, it’s the recent mesothelioma laws which would be stopping him.
Try airtasker or gumtree or ring local joinery shop and explain situation and offer a cash offer to remedy issue I’m sure they would know someone who needs a carton of beer
