What bathroom worktop fitting actually involves in Crofton Park depends on what you are fitting into, and around here that is not one thing. Smaller two-up two-down and bay-fronted terraces than Brockley, most still whole houses rather than flats; kitchens are back-addition galleys of 2.4m to 3m, with rear extensions increasingly common giving an L and a small island. If you are not sure which of those describes your kitchen, that is normal, and it is exactly what the template visit settles.
Ground floors fall away towards the garden across the whole footprint, so the units are packed up long before anything is measured for stone. None of it changes the material, but it does decide whether the top comes out of offcut stock or wants a slab bought for it alone. Most vanity tops begin life as an offcut from another room.
A bay-fronted terrace has a long hall running past the stairs to the kitchen, so the hall turn caps the piece length before the run length does. The bathroom in one of these is usually a later addition over the back kitchen, so the walls are thinner, the floor moves and a vanity has to sit level in a room that is not. A rear addition bathroom is cold, narrow and full of pipework.
The building types here are late Victorian terrace, Edwardian terrace, 1930s semi and postwar infill. Which of those you have decides most of what follows.
