TrickyBuilds guidance · Checked 22 October 2026 · About TrickyBuilds
This is a general care guide for this service. Use the instructions for the products actually installed and the information supplied for your job. Manufacturer links are reference resources, not a statement that those brands were used on your project.
Looking after the work
- Identify the benchtop and cabinet materials before choosing cleaners. Different laminates, timber and stone need different care.
- Use chopping boards and suitable heat protection. Wipe spills promptly, especially at joints, sink cut-outs and cabinet edges.
- Use the extraction system while cooking and clean its filters to the appliance instructions. Keep steam away from vulnerable cabinet edges.
- Check accessible areas below the sink for drips and dampness. Report problems before swelling or staining spreads; leave plumbing repairs to the appropriate trade.
When to contact us
- Swelling panels, loose hinges, a moving benchtop joint or persistent damp smells.
- Leaking connections or appliance faults; stop using affected equipment where safe.
For an immediate threat to people, leave the danger area and call 111. For urgent building assistance, call 021 041 3920 to check availability. The online form is not an emergency service.
Keep these records
- Cabinet and benchtop product names and care sheets
- Appliance model numbers, manuals and warranties
- Tapware information and relevant trade certificates
Keep a dated record of observations, cleaning, servicing and repairs. Share relevant records when asking for help. Only carry out work you can do safely and competently; use the appropriate qualified trade for specialist work.
