Who are Flexi?

Flexi is a WA owned and operated company that has been providing the people of Perth with beautifully functional custom designed cabinetry since 2001.

We’ve also done home bars, wine cellars, linen cupboards, garage storage, bathroom vanities, home libraries, display cabinets and buffet units. If you have an idea for some in-built furniture, we would love to hear it!

I want to get a quote for some cabinetry. Can I just send through my plans?

Your plans are always helpful in starting the quoting process, but to provide an accurate price, we’ll always take detailed measurements on site. Because every Flexi design is tailored to suit your space, needs, and style preferences, a site visit allows us to consider all the details. This includes materials, finishes, layout, and functionality, so your quote accurately reflects the final product.

What makes Flexi different to companies like Ikea and Bunnings?

Flexi offers a complete design and installation service, guiding you through every step of the process to create a beautifully functional space tailored to your lifestyle. Unlike flat-pack or off-the-shelf solutions, every Flexi design is custom-built to suit your exact needs and space. From the first consultation to final installation, you’re supported by experienced designers who focus on quality, fit, and finish — no filler cabinets, no compromises.

Where are your cabinets made?

We manufacture our cabinets in our Joondalup factories.

Do you have DIY options?

All of our projects are installed by our fully qualified tradespeople, saving you the time and effort of a DIY install.

I received a cheaper quote. Will you negotiate?

If you can provide a written quote detailing the inclusions so we can ensure the product is like-for-like, we’ll gladly do our best to match it.

What materials do you use?

Flexi sources high-quality materials from reputable, industry-recognised manufacturers. All materials used meet strict Australian standards and comply with relevant OH&S guidelines, including those relating to silica safety. We work with trusted suppliers to ensure durability, safety, and design flexibility across every project. If you’d like more detail about our material options or suppliers, just ask your designer during your consultation.

I’m building or doing a large home renovation. When should I get Flexi to install my cabinets?

It’s best for Flexi to be the last trade in there so that your new cabinets don’t get damaged. It also means that you won’t have gaps in your paintwork or flooring should the cabinetry ever need to be removed.

Once I place my order, how long will it be until my Flexi cabinets are installed?

Timeframes can vary depending on a range of factors. Your designer will give you an indicative timeline at the time of purchase. Once your order is received, we’ll confirm and provide you with an installation date. If your order includes any special items, this may extend the timeframe slightly — but we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

How long will the installation take?

Wardrobes, home offices & other small projects are usually installed in one day. Larger areas and kitchens can take a bit longer, but we will discuss this when we call to arrange a suitable installation date.

I have an existing shelf & rail in my wardrobe. Will Flexi remove this when they come to install my wardrobe?

Yes, we can remove & dispose of your existing wardrobe shelf and rail. Please talk to us if you have any specific queries.

Can Flexi remove my existing kitchen/laundry prior to installing my new kitchen/laundry?

Yes, we can arrange for the existing kitchen or laundry to be removed. Just speak to your designer about it during your consultation.

Is there somewhere I can go to see examples of your products?

Yes, we have two conveniently located showrooms in Joondalup and Myaree.

TV shows such as The Block and House Rules can renovate a kitchen in less than a week. Will my kitchen be ready in this time frame?

Not in real life! It can be as little as a few days, or it could be 4-6 weeks, depending on your materials choices. If you have a timeframe that you need the renovation completed in, discuss it with your designer during your consultation so we can assist you in selecting the right materials.

I’m worried about my new floors/freshly painted walls getting damaged. How do your installers avoid damaging my home?

We are a finishing trade. That means our installers take great care in ensuring they leave your home in the same condition it was in when they arrived. Any cutting required will be done outside, and drop sheets are always placed on the floors to protect them. If large panels require installing, we ensure to have two people on site to carry them.

What are your payment terms?

Flexi operates according to the Home Building Contracts Act, and all jobs over $7,500 will require a 6.5% deposit, followed by progress payments at various stages of the works. Jobs below $7,500 require a 30% deposit and the balance is paid the day prior to the installation.

Do you offer finance or payment plans?

Yes, we can assist with finance. Just ask your designer during your consultation.

What sort of warranty do you offer?

All our products come with excellent warranty terms. We have a 10-year guarantee on our workmanship, and a lifetime warranty on all moving parts such as drawer runners and hinges. Our contracts detail the manufacturers warranties of individual materials, which vary from 7 years to 15 years.

How will I know when each stage of work will happen during my kitchen renovation?

Our preferred trades partner, Scope Group (WA) Pty Ltd, provides a full project plan and a dedicated project manager. If you instead choose to use your own trades for your project, Flexi will advise you of the dates we’ll be on site.
