Bathroom worktop fitting in Mill Hill lives or dies on the awkward detail nobody mentions on the phone, and that detail is almost always something about the room. Big detached houses on the ridge and around the village, where kitchens are designed rooms with a large island, twin ovens and a separate utility, and the village conservation stock has older, tighter kitchens needing bespoke joinery instead. Layouts with duplicated sinks and hobs are found across the larger houses. Photographs of the run and a rough length are usually enough for us to say which of those you are looking at.
A utility or boot room usually takes a second run of stone, templated with the kitchen and fitted after it. A short piece carries an overflow, a waste and a sealant line, and any one of the three can spoil it. A bathroom is a short job that repays being drawn properly.
Windows are small and set deep, which leaves the run under them dark and the reveal too deep for a plain square end. 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. Old pipework is boxed rather than moved, and the top notches round it.
The stock behind these kitchens runs to Georgian and Victorian village houses, 1930s detached, large post-war detached and gated modern development. The one you have sets the piece length before the kitchen does.
