Coulsdon worktops
The kitchens we meet in Coulsdon
Nothing about stone worktop supply and fitting in Coulsdon is decided by us alone, since the units, the walls and the way you get through the door all get a say. Split between older inter-war semis with extended rear kitchens and newer estate housing where the kitchen-diner is already open-plan and only the tops get upgraded. The newer houses come with narrow 600mm cabinets and a peninsula rather than an island. You do not need to know which one you have before you call. We work that out on the survey.
Rear extensions on these sit on shallow foundations, and the crack at the junction with the original wall tells you which way it has moved. Water settles more than taste does: how much a body absorbs, and how quickly, decides whether sealing becomes part of your year. Pick the surface for the cooking rather than for the photograph.
The gas meter box is fixed to the flank wall beside the alley and stands proud enough to matter when a long piece is coming past it on edge. A knocked-through room means the surface is read from the dining side as well as the working side, so the figure has to run continuously and the pieces are taken from adjoining slab. Two slabs change the question from price to preference.
The building types here are 1930s semi, post-war detached, 2000s Cane Hill new-build and town-centre flats. Which of those you have decides most of what follows.
