Lower Morden worktops
The kitchens we meet in Lower Morden
Stone worktop supply and fitting in Lower Morden tends to go wrong in the planning rather than in the fitting, and planning it properly means starting from the building. Generous plots at the borough edge mean wide rear extensions are common, and kitchens here often carry a full island plus a separate breakfast peninsula. Bungalow stock takes wide U-shapes with worktops on three walls and no upper-floor constraint. Nothing gets cut from a description. It gets cut from a template taken off the units once they are in.
These were built with a coal store and an outside lavatory off the back, and where those got absorbed into the kitchen the walls around them are thinner and later. Run lengths are what turn a rate per square metre into a bill, since a slab is bought whole and the part of it nobody uses is paid for all the same. Supply is a range, and the room decides where in it you land.
A side return glazed over gives the room a second aspect and a second floor level, because the old external threshold is still under the finish. Side light from the garden is what lets a stone with movement in it actually be seen, which is why a busier granite or a veined quartz earns its keep here and a flat single colour rarely does. Even light lets a mid-tone hold its own.
The buildings themselves are mostly Interwar semi, 1930s bungalow and 1960s detached. The run length that is easy in one is a join in another.
