Cannon Hill worktops
The kitchens we meet in Cannon Hill
In Cannon Hill, what the local housing does to stone worktop supply and fitting is worth knowing before you commit to anything. Houses backing onto the common have kitchens reorientated to face the green, often with a peninsula under a rear window rather than a full extension. The 1960s low-rise blocks have compact fitted kitchens where a single 2.4m run and a return is the whole job. Guessing at this stage would only put a wrong number in front of you, so we do not do it.
A stub wall divides the kitchen from the back lobby, and it rarely stayed where the original drawing put it. Weight arrives as a figure per square metre and turns into a question about the floor, which is worth asking in any building where a timber span carries the kitchen. Batch before colour name, because names outlive the batch they came from.
A boiler in a cupboard on the kitchen wall is normal in this stock, and its position is fixed by its flue. Kitchens in this stock are small and roughly square, so the run is short, the seam count is low, and almost all of the figure is material band rather than bench time. Movement needs length, and length is what these rooms have.
The houses and blocks behind these jobs are 1930s semi, 1960s low-rise flat and Postwar detached. A quote that ignores which one you have is guessing.
