The reason bathroom worktop fitting in Hanwell is quoted per kitchen rather than per metre comes down to the range of rooms these worktops end up in. Terraces with rear kitchen extensions and side-return infills, largely first proper renovations on a controlled budget. Runs of 3.5m to 4.5m, single-bowl undermount, quartz chosen over granite on price. You will get a firm figure for your Hanwell kitchen once it has been templated, and that figure does not move afterwards.
The back addition is frequently a single skin of brick rendered on both faces, which takes a fixing badly and moves with the weather. A vanity top is where all of that turns up in miniature, with the basin, the tap holes and a splash return crowded into a few hundred millimetres of stone. One piece, four operations, and nowhere for any of them to move.
A soil stack is strapped to the outside of the addition wall and its branch comes through low, which settles where the sink can go before any layout is drawn. 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. Pressed steel baths and stone vanities are a common pairing.
What the kitchens here mostly sit in is Victorian terrace, Edwardian terrace, 1930s semi and Hanwell village older stock. The differences between them show up at template, not at enquiry.
