Base and wall units
Flat pack or rigid carcasses assembled, set level on adjustable legs and fixed with the right fixings for brick, block or stud walls.
Per unitfrom $75
Every unit square, every worktop joint tight
True Square fits the kitchen you have already designed, whether it came from a supplier's planner, a showroom or a drawing of your own. Every box is checked before day one, power and water are isolated before anything comes off the wall, and the old kitchen leaves with us.

What we fit, from carcass to cornice
We fit to your design, not ours. Prices are for labour and fixings; the units, worktops and appliances come from whichever supplier you chose, and we name no favourites.
Laminate and wood worktops
Cut and jointed with a jig and bolts, every cut edge sealed, and the sink and hob openings cut on site.
Per lengthfrom $160
Ready for stone
Base units fixed dead level for the stone maker's template, then the upstands and end panels fitted once the stone is in.
Per kitchenfrom $120
Integrated appliances
Ovens, dishwashers and fridges housed, fixed and given their doors. Power is connected by a qualified electrician and gas by a registered engineer.
Per appliancefrom $70
Sink, tap and waste
Sink set in, tap fitted and the waste and trap connected, then every joint is run under water before anything goes in the cupboard.
Sink and tapfrom $180
Plinths, panels and cornice
Kickboards scribed to the floor, end panels and fillers cut to the walls, and cornice or pelmets mitred at every corner.
Finishing trimsfrom $240
Boxes counted before the old kitchen comes out
A missing hinge pack or a split end panel can stop a fitting week cold, so we check every delivery against your supplier's plan two or three days before the start. Anything short or damaged goes back to the supplier at once, and the strip out date moves rather than leaving you without a sink for longer than needed.
On the first morning the water to the kitchen is isolated and the cooker and appliance circuits are switched off and tested dead. A registered engineer caps the gas where a gas hob is coming out, and any new electrical work is done by a qualified electrician. Who may connect what differs between countries and regions, so the pre fit visit tells you what applies where you live.
- Delivery checked against the plan
- Water and power isolated on day one
- Old units and worktops taken away
- Walls made good where units come off
Unit rates, so you can price the fit yourself
Kitchen fitting is priced by the piece. Count the pieces on your plan and you will have a fair idea of the labour before we have even visited.
| Item | What the rate covers | Labour from |
|---|---|---|
| Base unit | Assembly if flat pack, levelling, fixing to the wall, doors and drawers adjusted | $85 |
| Wall unit | Assembly, hanging on rails or brackets, doors lined up with the run below | $75 |
| Tall housing | Oven or fridge housing assembled, fixed and scribed to the ceiling | $140 |
| Laminate worktop | One length cut, jointed, edged and sealed, with any sink or hob opening | $160 |
| Solid wood worktop | One length cut, jointed and oiled three times before the sink goes in | $210 |
| Integrated appliance | Housed, fixed and door hung; the connection is made by the right trade | $70 |
| Old kitchen out | Units, worktops and splashback tiles removed and taken for disposal | $380 |
| Making good | Walls patched and filled where old units and tiles came away | $150 |
Eight base units, five wall units, two tall housings, three worktop lengths and four appliances come to about $2,600 of labour, with the old kitchen removed and the walls made good. Prices are illustrative and confirmed in writing after the pre fit visit.
Kitchens we fitted to someone else's drawing
Six plans from six different suppliers, each fitted to the millimetre it was drawn.
In every quote, whoever drew the plan
Whatever the design, these are written into each True Square quote so you can hold us to them.
- Pre fit visit and written quote
- Delivery checked against the plan
- Water isolated, circuits tested dead
- Floors and doorways protected
- Old kitchen removed and taken away
- Units levelled and fixed
- Doors and drawers aligned
- Worktop joints sealed
- Sink and waste leak tested
- Walls made good around units
- Kitchen cleaned, cupboards wiped
Not in the price: designing the kitchen, buying units or appliances, tiling, plastering whole walls or adding new circuits. If you need a tiler or an electrician, we can suggest one we have worked beside, and their quote comes to you directly.
Heard on the last day of the fit (example reviews)
Two wall units were missing from the delivery and we only found out because the boxes were counted on Wednesday. The supplier sent them in time and the fit started on the day agreed.
Our floor drops nearly two centimetres across the room. You would never know now, because every plinth and end panel was scribed to it.
We drew the kitchen ourselves on a supplier's planner and worried it would look homemade. The fitter spotted a dishwasher clash on the plan before anything was cut.
Arrange a pre fit visit
Tell us where the design came from and describe the layout in words; we look over the plan itself when we visit. At the visit we check walls, floors, pipes and sockets against the drawing, then confirm the labour in writing within two working days.
- Labour priced per unit
- Delivery checked before day one
- Old kitchen taken away
Asked over the unit count
Why are prices given per unit?
Because a kitchen is a set of pieces, each with a known amount of work. Counting them gives you a fair labour figure from your own plan, and the pre fit visit then adds anything the plan cannot show, such as an uneven floor or a wall that needs extra fixings.
What happens when the delivery is short?
We tell you the same day, with a list of what is missing or damaged, so you can chase your supplier. The start date moves until everything is in, because opening up a kitchen with parts missing leaves you without one for longer.
When does the sink work again?
Usually by the end of the second or third day, once the base units are fixed and a worktop is on. With stone worktops there is a gap of several days while the stone is made, so we fit a temporary board and connect the sink to it.
Who connects the oven, hob and extractor?
We house and fix them; a qualified electrician connects the power and a registered engineer connects any gas. The rules on who may do this vary from country to country, and the quote names which trade handles each connection.
Do you tile or paint after the fit?
No. We make good the walls where old units and tiles came away, leaving them ready for a tiler or decorator. We can suggest people we have worked with, and they quote you directly.
What if a door drops out of line later?
Hinges and runners settle in the first months of use. For twelve months after the fit, a call brings a fitter back to reset hinges and runners at no charge, as often as needed.
