🔥 Fire-Damaged Stone & Cabinetry – Start to Finish 🔥

This long-form reel takes you through the step-by-step process of repairing a fire-damaged kitchen — showing exactly how we remove, modify, replace and reinstate the damaged components.

In this one we’re tackling:

🔥 Fire-damaged cabinetry
🔹 Damaged drawer components
🪨 Stone benchtop replacement
🛠️ Careful removal and reinstatement
📐 The little details that make everything fit properly again

But TCS isn't just about repairs.

We take the same problem-solving, precision and craftsmanship and use it to transform existing spaces and create completely new ones.

Custom kitchens.
Custom laundries.
Storage solutions.
Vanities.
Joinery modifications.
And those difficult jobs other companies simply don't want to touch.

Everything we manufacture is designed around your space, your needs and the way you use your home.

💡 Whether you need something repaired, modified or completely reimagined — we make custom joinery work for you.

✨ Kitchen Storage Installation – When the Plan Doesn’t Go to Plan ✨

First mistake of the day…

I completely forgot to book the electrician. 🤦‍♂️

That one's on me.

But it wasn't going to stop the installation. We prepared and ran the cabling ready for the electrician to come back and complete the fit-off.

Then things got interesting… 😬

🔨 First cable access hole — perfect.

🔨 Second hole — why am I hitting something solid?

At first, I thought we'd found a stud.

Then I walked into the room behind the wall…

🚿 Bathroom. Shower. Recessed niche.

That could have become a VERY bad day. 😂

Luckily, we'd hit the framing and caused no damage whatsoever.

So, change of plan.

We abandoned that location, repositioned the new power point beside the existing outlet and kept moving.

That's renovation work.

You can measure.
You can plan.
You can prepare.

But sometimes what's hidden behind the wall has other ideas.

The important part is knowing when to stop, reassess and find another solution. 👌

And despite the surprises, the new kitchen storage joinery is installed!

Still to come:

⚡ Electrical fit-off
💡 Integrated LED lighting
🚪 Glass doors
🔹 Drawer fronts

The painter wasn't satisfied with the finish on the doors and drawer fronts, so they're being resprayed rather than installing something that isn't up to standard.

Sometimes getting it right means waiting a little longer.

💡 Need custom storage designed around your existing home? Renovations don't always go perfectly to plan — but we'll find a way to make them work.

✨ High-End Apartment… Not So High-End Workmanship ✨

While repairing water-damaged joinery in this high-end apartment, we started uncovering some workmanship that definitely didn't match the surroundings.

👀 Two kick faces — two completely different finishes

🫣 Dishwasher packed up with loose packers instead of being properly adjusted using the levelling system built into the appliance.

These might seem like small details, but they're exactly the kind of things we see every day while carrying out repair and rectification work.

A premium finish isn't just about what you can see.

It's what's underneath.
It's how it's installed.
It's the details nobody notices until something goes wrong.

🔧 At TCS, we don't just make it look right — we make sure it's done right.

💡 Want peace of mind knowing your joinery has been installed with care, precision and attention to detail? We can help.

😂 Today’s Compilation: Things We Find Doing Repairs…

I swear, some of the things we uncover still amaze me.

You think you’ve seen it all…

Then you open the next cabinet. 🤦‍♂️

🔧 Questionable installations
🫣 Creative shortcuts
📏 Things that definitely weren’t measured twice
😂 And plenty of “What were they thinking?” moments

Repair work gives us a front-row seat to what happens when the details don't matter.

Fortunately, we enjoy fixing it almost as much as we enjoy finding it. 😂

💡 If you want custom joinery done properly, we can help.

And if you don’t need any joinery…

Stick around. We can at least keep you entertained. 🍿😂

✨ Dishwasher Installation – The Millimetres Matter ✨

While replacing water-damaged kickboards on this kitchen, we noticed something completely outside our scope of works…

The dishwasher hadn't been installed correctly.

Rather than walking past it, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to show how these appliances should be set up — and hopefully help a few other cabinetmakers along the way. 👇

🔧 Most modern dishwashers can be levelled while they're already in position.

✔️ Two adjustable feet at the front
✔️ Rear height adjustment accessed from the front on many models
✔️ Level the appliance correctly
✔️ Align it precisely with the surrounding cabinetry
✔️ Check your gaps before calling it finished

This becomes especially important with integrated dishwashers, where a few millimetres can completely change how the finished kitchen presents.

📏 The difference between a basic installation and a great installation can literally be millimetres.

It seems insignificant…

Until you stand back and look at the finished job.

We corrected this dishwasher while we were there — even though it wasn't part of our scope.

Why?

Because doing it right is a choice. 👌

💡 Need an appliance integrated into your existing kitchen, or cabinetry modified to make something fit properly? That's exactly the kind of work we do.

✨ Why the Cheapest Quote Can Cost You More ✨

This water-damaged kitchen is a perfect example of why choosing purely on price can come back to bite you.

At first glance, the original joinery might look fine.

Look closer…

❌ Poorly fitted components
❌ Unfinished detailing
❌ Panels and kicks failing
❌ A rangehood cabinet that wasn't even properly screwed together
❌ Problems hidden behind what initially looked like a finished kitchen

Now we're here repairing the water damage and fixing workmanship that should have been right from day one.

🔧 Replacing the damaged panel
🔧 Replacing water-damaged kickboards
🔧 Correcting poorly fitted cabinetry
🔧 Securing and rectifying the rangehood cabinet
🔧 Checking the surrounding joinery as we work

At TCS, we understand that every project has a budget. We can provide different options, materials and finishes to suit — but we don't compromise on the fundamentals of good workmanship.

There is a difference between designing to a budget and simply building something cheaply.

💡 Get it done right the first time. Get it done with TCS.

✨ A New Chapter for TCS! 🥳🎉 ✨

For years, the workshop has been the heart of TCS — designing, manufacturing and installing custom joinery for our clients.

The office? Well… it may have been slightly neglected. 😂

But that's about to change!

🎉 Our first full-time office team member, Emma, has officially started!

And with the team growing, we're finally giving the office the attention it deserves.

🖥️ New dedicated admin workspace
🎨 New colour and finish sample boards have arrived
🛠️ Displays and samples getting ready to be mounted
📋 New systems being implemented behind the scenes
🏭 All while the workshop keeps production moving!

It's exciting watching TCS continue to evolve — not just with new machinery and an upgraded factory, but now with the people and systems behind it as well.

We're building more than cabinetry.

We're building TCS. 🚀

Can't wait to show you the office once everything is finished!

✨ Custom Joinery Throughout the Home ✨

This project was all about creating a seamless flow while adding functionality to multiple spaces throughout the home.

Every piece was custom designed, manufactured, and installed to complement the existing finishes.

Bathroom Upgrades 🛁 Two new custom vanities

🔹 Blum Legrabox soft-close drawers
🔹 Top drawers custom cut around the plumbing and basin
🔹 Fully usable lower drawers for maximum storage
🔹 Polyurethane fronts with J-routered finger-pull handles
🔹 New stone benchtops
🔹 Removal and disposal of the existing vanities

Living Area ✨ Custom sideboard extension, perfectly matched to the existing kitchen with seamless finishes and matching finger-pull detailing.

Feature Storage Cabinet 🌿 A slimline storage cabinet finished in olive green polyurethane, carefully selected to complement the splashback and transform an unused corner into a practical design feature.

The result?

A home that feels cohesive, functional, and beautifully considered from room to room.

Our client absolutely loved the finished result.

💡 Whether it's one room or an entire home, we design custom joinery that blends seamlessly with your existing space while elevating the way you live.

✨ Kitchen Wall Panel Installation – A Simple Change, Big Impact ✨

Our client reached out after purchasing these decorative wall panels but wasn't confident cutting and installing them themselves.

They had the vision.
We had the experience to bring it to life.

🔹 Precision measuring and cutting
🔹 Professional installation
🔹 Securely bonded into place
🔹 Clean, seamless finish

Sometimes it's not about supplying the product—it's about installing it correctly so it looks like it was always meant to be there.

The transformation speaks for itself.

💡 Already have a product but need a professional installation? Whether it's custom joinery or finishing touches, we're here to help.

✨ Water-Damaged Panel Replacement – Thinking Outside the Box ✨

Not every repair is as straightforward as it first appears.

This water-damaged panel was trapped between shelving, the top, and the flooring. Removing it completely would have meant dismantling large sections of perfectly good joinery and causing unnecessary damage.

So we looked for a better solution.

🔹 Assessed every repair option
🔹 Explained the pros and cons to the client
🔹 Removed only the water-damaged section
🔹 Installed a new replacement panel
🔹 Reinforced it with an additional side panel for strength and longevity

The result?

A clean, durable repair completed with minimal disruption while maintaining the overall look of the cabinetry.

At TCS, we don't just replace joinery—we solve problems in the smartest way possible.

💡 Need help with water damage or a difficult joinery repair? We'll find the right solution, not just the easiest one.
