We plan the vanity tops in Eastcote around access, ceiling height and what the kitchen has already been through, none of which shows up in a phone call. Larger detached and chalet-style houses with generous kitchens, islands with a seating overhang, and a run of pantry or larder units. More design consultation here than straight replacement. If that sounds like guesswork, it is not: it is measured on the day, in your kitchen, before anything is cut.
Solid brick with a sand and cement render is firm to work against and reliably out of plumb across the length of a run. Ventilation, heating and lighting all compete for the same short stretch of wall, so by the time the surface is drawn the room has already been argued over once. Small enough to carry, awkward enough to plan.
Everything on one level means no stairs, no landings and no turns, which is about the easiest carry there is in domestic work. Where the bathroom has been taken over a rear addition the room gains length rather than width, so a longer vanity becomes possible and a deeper one still does not. Deep reveals turn a window board into a real piece of stone.
The stock behind these kitchens runs to 1930s Metroland detached, chalet-style semi, Eastcote Village older stock and postwar infill. Which one you have changes the order of the day more than the design does.
