Bathroom worktop fitting in Green Street Green lives or dies on the awkward detail nobody mentions on the phone, and that detail is almost always something about the room. Post-war detached and link-detached with integral garages, so the kitchen usually backs onto the garage and the utility is a converted garage corner with a second worktop run. Kitchens are moderate size, typically an L plus a peninsula, and the garage side often suits a proper laundry. Nothing above needs settling before you get in touch. It gets settled with a tape measure, in your kitchen, in Green Street Green.
A boiler hangs on the wall above the run in most of these, and its pipework drops exactly where a splashback wants to go. Nobody looks at a bathroom surface until the sealant discolours, at which point nobody looks at anything else in the room. Bathrooms take the same slab and roughly half the width.
Walls look modern and are not: block or breeze with a skim that has been patched over decades, so dry-laying and scribing still apply. The bathroom is the small room over the kitchen, and the waste already runs where it needs to, so the basin position is more or less settled before anyone draws it. A rear addition bathroom is cold, narrow and full of pipework.
Around here the stock is 1960s detached, 1970s link-detached, 1980s cul-de-sac housing and bungalow. The differences between them show up at template, not at enquiry.
