Frequently Asked Questions
Imperial Kitchens has been around for over 25 years, so, naturally, we have been asked many questions. Please feel free to contact us if you require any further information beyond the questions detailed below.
Kitchen Designs and Drafting
Do You Charge A Design Fee?
Not at all. Initial consultations are free as we are always happy to help.
Can I Bring My Own Design to the Appointment?
Of course, you can. The design team at Imperial Kitchens urge you to bring in your own designs as it always helps them get an understanding of your kitchen goals.
Does Imperial Kitchens Provide 3D Renders?
Yes, both the Imperial Kitchens design team and drafting team use Cabinet Vision as their CAD program of choice, and you can expect 3D renders straight from a program that talks directly to our in-house machinery. Our design team is also proficient in Vortek Spaces.
I Don’t Like Handles, What Are My Options?
If you don’t like handles, you can always go with finger pull or touch to open. However, these options aren’t always as cost-effective.

Payment and Costing
What Are My Payment Options?
Imperial Kitchens follows a standard payment breakdown procedure for all jobs. The payment breakdown terms are 20% Deposit, 30% Manufacture, 40% Installation and 10% Completion. All variations are paid for in full once confirmed. The payment term period is 7 days from the invoice issue date.
How Much Will A New Kitchen Cost?
On average, the recommended price changes depending on what you want. According to the Housing Industry Australia (HIA) website, the average renovation cost for 2022 is $22,000 – $40,000. In saying that, you don’t always have to pay that much to get a new kitchen. If you want to read more about renovation costs, you can click here.
Services
What Areas Does Imperial Kitchens Service?
Imperial Kitchens is based in Meadowbrook, Queensland. We service from Caboolture all the way down to Coolangatta, and out to Ipswich.
Can you Reface my Old or Existing Kitchen?
This is subject to inspection. However, refacing an existing kitchen can result in a lot of problems surfacing, so we generally avoid doing this, as it can sometimes cost more than just replacing the cupboards.
Other Than Kitchens, What Else Can You Do?
Yes, we do. We are traditional cabinet makers, and we can design, manufacture, and install all types of joinery.
Does Imperial Kitchens Organise Other Trades Such as A Plumber or Electrician?
Yes, we can organise trades for you and this will be added to your quote. However, if you don’t like our prices, you can also organise your own trades as well.
Does Imperial Kitchens Supply Appliances?
Yes, we do. We have a list of suppliers who can source any appliance you wish.
Can I Buy my own Appliances?
Of course, you just need to make sure to let us know what appliances they are so we can make sure they fit in your kitchen or other joinery.
