Figges Marsh worktops

The buildings and streets around Figges Marsh

Before we quote any of the vanity tops in Figges Marsh we want to know what the kitchen actually is, because the answer changes more than the price. Terraces off the London Road have narrow rear kitchens that stay galley-shaped, typically 2.2m of run against one wall with the cooker under a window. Flats over the shops on the main road are small single-run kitchens where the top and a matching upstand is the whole scope. The point of the visit is that you stop guessing and get a number you can hold us to.

A boiler hangs on the wall above the run in most of these, and its pipework drops exactly where a splashback wants to go. Bathrooms in buildings like this are reached up a flight and worked in a room two people can barely stand in, and the visit is planned around both. The aperture is polished because you look straight down into it.

The front rooms sit over the shop window with a structural beam beneath them, and the floor either side of that beam is not at one level. Windows sit low over the basin in these houses, which caps the height of any splash return before anything else has been decided. A bathroom over a kitchen has its waste run already decided.

The housing here takes in Interwar terrace, Edwardian terrace, Above-shop flat and Postwar infill. Each of those behaves differently once the old top comes off.

The place

Why bathroom worktops in Figges Marsh are their own job

Our survey in Figges Marsh exists to answer how the stone gets to the room and what it has to be levelled against. The London Road frontage is a busy bus corridor with red-route style restrictions in places and no realistic standing, so deliveries go in early. Above-shop flats are entered through a shared street door with a straight steep stair and no turning space at the top. Steep single-flight stairs to above-shop flats mean anything over 2.4m has to be jointed, so we measure the stairwell before deciding where the joint goes. We would rather tell you about that at the quote than explain it afterwards.

The money

What bathroom worktops cost in Figges Marsh

In Figges Marsh, 5% of households live in a converted or shared house: lower than 53% of the 723 areas we cover. Short lengths nest well and waste little, so the material line is usually the kindest part of a galley quote. The stone itself is £110 to £550 per square metre supply only; everything done to it is priced separately and shown separately.

The carry, and what it rules out for bathroom worktops

The van is not staying on a main road for the day, so once the stone is off it goes and parks properly somewhere else. The tiler, the electrician and the plumber all want that kerb in the same week, so the slot is negotiated with them as much as with the street. The basin travels in the van with the top it belongs to.

Demand

What Figges Marsh asks for in bathroom worktops

A trade counter or a bar does not come out of the local housing stock, so there is no ranking to give you. The housing itself asks for worktop replacement and worktop splashbacks & upstands. The work is quoted the same way regardless.

The building

The building, and what it does to the bathroom worktops

Around Figges Marsh, the council tax banding sits at the bottom of the London range. An en-suite added to a bedroom is another vanity carrying the same work at a reduced size. Every vanity is drawn from its own template regardless.

Questions

Bathroom worktop questions in Figges Marsh

01

Will you take on a job in Figges Marsh?

Yes, Figges Marsh (CR4) is on the patch, worked on our south west London run with Mitcham, Pollards Hill and Longthornton.

02

Is there anything about Figges Marsh buildings that catches bathroom worktops out?

In Figges Marsh, 10% of homes have been built since 2010, which is higher than 62% of the 723 areas we cover. Rear access over a flat roof or up an external stair exists in some of these, and it is worth checking before the front stair is assumed. Where the WC was originally a separate room it becomes a cloakroom, and a cloakroom takes the smallest top we cut.

03

What do you check about the route into a Figges Marsh property?

In Figges Marsh, 38% of households have no car or van: lower than 52% of the 723 areas we cover. A fitted stair carpet is either lifted or covered, because grit trodden into it under work boots does more harm than the carry itself. What the route really decides for a bathroom is the shelving and the window board, since long thin pieces are the ones that break when they are twisted round a turn.

04

Why do two quotes for bathroom worktops in Figges Marsh differ?

An undermount basin costs more than a countertop one, because the aperture has to be cut, polished and bonded rather than simply dropped through. In Figges Marsh, 46% of homes are flats or maisonettes, lower than 60% of the 723 areas we cover.

05

What has to be finished before you can template?

In Figges Marsh, from the Interwar terrace to the Postwar infill, the vanity unit needs to be fixed and level before we template, with the basin and tap on site. Measure from the finished unit up to the underside of the window sill and send it with the basin and tap models. A room can be out of square in both directions at once, so the wall that leans is also the wall that runs downhill, and one scribe cannot answer both. It is the reason a bathroom is templated off the fitted unit rather than off the plan, however simple the piece looks on paper.
