Kennington worktops
The kitchens we meet in Kennington
If stone worktop supply and fitting in Kennington is on your list this year, the useful starting point is not the colour but the shape of the room. Georgian and early Victorian houses have their kitchens at lower-ground level in what were service rooms, so runs follow the original room proportions with a small island or a central table rather than a big open plan. Estate flats nearby have compact separate kitchens with fixed service positions. The survey is the part where guessing stops. Everything after it is worked from real measurements taken in your own Kennington kitchen.
Original quarry tile is often still down under two or three later floor coverings, which is why the finished floor height is rarely what anyone expects. Which stone belongs on top of all that is a separate question from the building itself, and it is the one with a figure attached, because supply alone runs from £110 to £550 per square metre before a single cut has been made. Quartz, granite and sintered stone answer three different rooms.
Listing and conservation conditions apply to a good number of these, which constrains what can be altered around the kitchen rather than what goes on top of the units. Ceilings are tall and the joinery is usually painted, which is the setting where a thirty millimetre edge looks right and a slim one reads as a saving somebody made. Honed hides the dust an older house makes all year.
The stock on this patch is Georgian terrace, Early Victorian terrace, Interwar and postwar estate block and Mansion flat. The one you have sets the piece length before the kitchen does.
