What bathroom worktop fitting actually involves in Greenwich Peninsula depends on what you are fitting into, and around here that is not one thing. Almost entirely developer-fitted open-plan kitchens in apartments, one wall run plus an island or peninsula facing the living space, typically 2.6m to 3.4m, in thin laminate or budget composite that owners replace at ten to fifteen years. Layouts repeat floor to floor, so one template often covers several flats in the same block. The drawing we work from is agreed with you first, so no one in Greenwich Peninsula finds out on fitting day that something was assumed.
Painted brick is flat nowhere, and raked-back mortar joints leave a line no straightedge agrees with. The fittings come from four suppliers and arrive in no particular order, so the surface is drawn last and asked to reconcile all of them. It is the smallest piece we cut and the most crowded.
Steel columns and downstands land where the frame put them, which is frequently in the middle of what would otherwise be a clean run. That makes the template straightforward and moves the work onto the services, which run exposed or in boxing along a wall and get notched round rather than cut back. A rear addition bathroom is cold, narrow and full of pipework.
The stock on this patch is 2000s Millennium Village housing, 2010s-2020s high-rise apartments and riverside warehouse conversion. Which one you have changes the order of the day more than the design does.
