Fortis Green worktops

The buildings and streets around Fortis Green

The housing in Fortis Green sets the vanity tops into a few recognisable patterns, and knowing which one you are in saves a great deal of argument later. Mix of small Victorian cottages with 2.4m kitchens and interwar estate houses where the standard job is a modest rear extension producing an L-shape with a breakfast bar rather than a full island. Family kitchen-diners rather than showpieces. You do not have to work out which of those you have. We will look at it with you when we come to Fortis Green.

A hundred and forty years of alterations sit under the current kitchen, and the worktop is what has to sit flat on top of all of it. Cleaning is what a bathroom surface actually lives through, since limescale, bleach and whatever gets used on the mirror all end up on it sooner or later. A bathroom is a short job that repays being drawn properly.

The kitchen occupies the ground floor of the addition with a garden door at the far end, so there is a second way in that is narrower than the front door and a great deal shorter. The bathroom in one of these is almost never original: it is a later room over the back addition, or a bedroom divided in two. Older walls give a vanity nothing straight to sit against.

What the kitchens here mostly sit in is Victorian cottage, Edwardian semi and 1920s Coldfall estate house. They fail in different places, which is why the survey looks at different things.

The place

Why bathroom worktops in Fortis Green are their own job

The reason we ask so much before quoting in Fortis Green is that a worktop cannot be trimmed to fit a surprise. Fortis Green road itself is narrow with parking both sides and a constant flow of buses, so unloading is a two-minute job then move the van. The estate streets are flatter and easier than the rest of N10. The interwar estate houses have shallow 550mm base units in places, so we check the depth before ordering; a standard 620mm top would leave a bigger overhang than you would expect. That is why the quote is itemised: you can see what the building is costing you and what the stone is.

The money

What bathroom worktops cost in Fortis Green

In Fortis Green, 33% of homes have four or more bedrooms, higher than 98% of the 723 areas we cover. An L has a return, and a return rarely nests neatly on a slab, so the yield question arrives earlier than it does on a straight run. Thickness on its own can move the supply figure a long way inside the £110 to £550 range, and it changes the machining as well, which is why the two are never given as one number.

Victorian and Edwardian terraces

What Fortis Green asks for in bathroom worktops

The junction between the original room and the extension is the point to watch, because the two floors rarely sit at the same height. Wet rooms are spreading through the newer refurbishments, and a wet room has no boundary between the soaked half and the dry half, which widens what any surface in it has to tolerate. Repeat bathrooms come cheaper per top, not per square metre.

Not a domestic job, so it is not ranked against the streets around it. Those streets generate worktop replacement. Same slabs, same saw, same installers.

The run

The shape of the run, and what it means for bathroom worktops

An L-shape, two runs meeting at an internal corner, puts the decisions at the corner. Two rooms cut on the same day share more than a colour: they share a batch, a finish and a thickness, and it is the batch that shows. A cloakroom top is the easiest piece on any nesting plan.

Questions

Bathroom worktop questions in Fortis Green

Do your own fitters come out to Fortis Green?

Yes, Fortis Green (N10 and N2) is on the patch, worked on our north London run with Muswell Hill, Highgate and Alexandra Park.

What is different about bathroom worktops in Fortis Green?

In Fortis Green, 37% of homes were built before 1919, which is higher than 66% of the 723 areas we cover. The chimney breast has almost always been taken out of the kitchen with the stack left standing above it, so that bay of wall is newer plasterwork on a different plane. Either way the walls are thin, the floor is boards over shallow joists and nothing meets at a right angle, so the vanity is scribed at both ends and the unit is fixed back to the wall as well as standing on the floor.

Is access a problem in Fortis Green?

In Fortis Green, 42% of homes are flats or maisonettes: lower than 64% of the 723 areas we cover. A step up off the pavement means the piece is lifted to the threshold before it is carried anywhere, and that first lift is the one that wants four hands. 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.

Where does the money go on bathroom worktops in Fortis Green?

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 Fortis Green, 35% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, higher than 81% of the 723 areas we cover.

What has to be ready before the template visit?

In Fortis Green, from the Victorian cottage to the 1920s Coldfall estate house, the vanity unit needs to be fixed and level before we template, with the basin and tap on site. Have the vanity unit fixed and levelled, and the basin and tap on site, before the templater arrives, and tell us what is inside any boxing.
