Bathroom worktop fitting in Grove Park is decided by the room long before anyone opens a colour chart. Interwar semis with a rear kitchen and separate dining room, plus a large slice of postwar estate housing with compact galleys. Extensions here are usually single-storey rear rather than side return, ending in a 3.5m run with a peninsula. The drawing we work from is agreed with you first, so no one in Grove Park finds out on fitting day that something was assumed.
The extension slab was poured to its own level, so there is a lip or a ramp where the new floor meets the original one. The stone is the straightforward half of a bathroom. The order the trades come in is what actually decides when we can be there. We seat the basin. Your plumber connects it.
Original quarry-tiled floors sit lower than a later screed, so a run crossing that junction needs the units packed to one level. 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. A large bathroom is where a double vanity becomes possible.
The buildings themselves are mostly 1930s semi, interwar terrace, postwar estate and 1960s low-rise flats. A quote that ignores which one you have is guessing.
