Nothing about bathroom worktop fitting in Harmondsworth is decided by us alone, since the units, the walls and the way you get through the door all get a say. Village cottages with small low-ceilinged kitchens and very thick walls. Simple L-shapes under 3m, Belfast sinks, and edge profiles kept plain to suit the age of the building. You will get a firm figure for your Harmondsworth kitchen once it has been templated, and that figure does not move afterwards.
The old scullery is a step down from the main room and the pantry beyond it is a step down again. Ventilation, heating and lighting all compete for the same short stretch of wall, so by the time the surface is drawn the room has already been argued over once. The depth sets the piece, not the length of the wall.
A period cottage has low ceilings, thick rubble-filled walls and a floor that has never been level, and the worktop is the thing that has to look straight. A freestanding bath in the middle of the room pushes the vanity to a wall and often under a window, so the window board is drawn with the top rather than added later from a second offcut. An original bathroom is usually the smallest room upstairs.
The buildings themselves are mostly Medieval and Tudor village core, Georgian cottage and 1930s ribbon housing. The join count is decided by which of those the room sits in.
