What makes bathroom worktop fitting in Gunnersbury worth thinking about properly is that the same worktop behaves very differently depending on what it is being fitted around. Mostly flats. Compact L-shapes of 2.4m to 3m with integrated appliances and a peninsula at best, plus older purpose-built blocks where the kitchen is still the original service room with a pantry recess. The drawing we work from is agreed with you first, so no one in Gunnersbury finds out on fitting day that something was assumed.
These kitchens were service rooms once, so they are long, narrow and further from the entrance than the floor plan suggests. For a vanity the length is rarely the argument, because it is the depth and what has to be drilled through it that set the piece. Shelves and a window board come off the same offcut.
Steel windows sit in narrow reveals with a slim cill, which leaves almost no depth for an upstand to return into. Walls are thick and out of true, so a vanity is scribed at both ends and the splash return is cut to follow the wall rather than a straight line. High ceilings do nothing for a vanity, but the reveals do.
The stock on this patch is Victorian terrace, 1930s purpose-built flat and 2010s-2020s station-side tower. The one you have sets the piece length before the kitchen does.
