Every one of the vanity tops we quote in Isleworth starts with the same conversation about what is already in the kitchen and what is staying. The bread-and-butter job is a 1930s semi where the kitchen has been knocked through into the rear addition to make a 4m to 5m L, the old larder taken out, and a single-bowl undermount put under the garden window. Book the design and quotation visit, and someone will be at your Isleworth address with a tape, the colour range and no obligation attached.
Lath and plaster, a settled floor and a hall with a turn in it are the three things that decide how this job runs. Humidity is the difference nobody mentions, because a room that fills with steam twice a day treats sealant, grout and every joint in it far harder than a kitchen ever does. Shelves and a window board come off the same offcut.
The chimney breast has almost always been taken out of the kitchen with the stack left standing above it, so that bay of wall is newer plasterwork on a different plane. Where a bedroom has been divided to make a bathroom the window sits off centre to the new room and the vanity ends up under it, which puts the window board in the order rather than outside it. Deep reveals turn a window board into a real piece of stone.
What the kitchens here mostly sit in is Victorian terrace, 1930s semi, Old Isleworth riverside cottage and 1960s estate. They fail in different places, which is why the survey looks at different things.
