    Wait until the kitchen is fully installed and satisfactory.

    There are two transactions here:

    You and strata plumber for isolation valve. They did faulty work by not installing the isolation valve to meet your supplied requirements.

    You and kitchen company. For everything else.

    I would politely contact the strata plumber and explain that they did not install the isolation valve as specified and you will not be paying for rework. Additionally, you did not request that they undertake any further works so they should take up that with the party that requested their services – inform them that the kitchen company included plumbing in their fixed price works. For clarity, you did not order them to do this work and will not be paying their invoice.

    That’s how I would see it 🙂
