Morden worktops

The buildings and streets around Morden

The part of bathroom worktop fitting in Morden that surprises people is how much of it is decided before anyone touches a slab. The interwar semis built after the Northern line arrived have small square rear kitchens, typically 2.6m by 2.6m, that get an L-shaped run and a slim breakfast bar rather than an island. Flats above and around the town centre keep original galley layouts and are usually straight top replacements. Nothing gets cut from a description. It gets cut from a template taken off the units once they are in.

A passive vent or a ducted extract shaft takes a corner of the kitchen from floor to ceiling and cannot be reduced. 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. Cut for the basin you bought, not for a standard one.

The first kitchen units were metal and screwed straight into the blockwork, and their plugs are still in the wall behind whatever plaster went over them. Bathrooms in this stock are compact, squarely built and take a short vanity that will come out of almost any offcut, which makes them among the cheapest bathroom tops we cut. What the wall is made of decides how the unit is fixed.

What we are cutting for, here, is 1930s Underground-extension semi, Interwar cottage estate house and 1960s town-centre block. Each of those puts the services somewhere else, and the cut-outs follow.

The place

Why bathroom worktops in Morden are their own job

A quote that never looked at the route tends to find out about the access in Morden on the morning of the fit, which is too late to change anything. Around the station and the shopping parade the traffic and bus stands make standing time short, but the residential estates behind are uncontrolled and easy to park in. Older blocks have narrow communal stairs with a tight quarter turn at each landing. These small kitchens leave no tolerance: an L that is 15mm long cannot be trimmed on site without moving a fixed appliance, so we template both legs to the wall rather than off the cabinets. Everything above is checked at template, before any stone is cut.

The money

What bathroom worktops cost in Morden

In Morden, 83% of homes went up between 1919 and 1939: higher than 98% of the 723 areas we cover. One continuous L takes more slab than its metreage implies, because the waste sits inside the angle. Thickness, finish and colour move a slab within the £110 to £550 supply band before anyone touches it, so that figure is settled by what you pick rather than by the room.

The carry, and what it rules out for bathroom worktops

A free-parking street with cars both sides can still leave the van forty metres away, and that distance is carry, not driving. The tiler, the electrician and the plumber all want that kerb in the same week, so the slot is negotiated with them as much as with the street. The van moves on. The fitter stays with the vanity.

Demand

What Morden asks for in bathroom worktops

Nothing about the houses on this patch predicts whether a site needs this, because it is not housing work. What the houses ask for is worktop replacement. The stone, the machining and the crew are the same.

The building

The building, and what it does to the bathroom worktops

Around Morden, most of the stock dates from the building boom of the twenties and thirties. The kitchens are compact, so the fixed lines outweigh the stone. What a partition is built from decides how a hung unit is secured long before the stone is chosen. The vanity is cut to this bathroom and to no other.

Questions

Bathroom worktop questions in Morden

Is Morden inside the area you cover?

Yes, Morden (SM4) is on the patch, worked on our south west London run with Morden Park, Lower Morden and St Helier.

Is there anything about Morden buildings that catches bathroom worktops out?

In Morden, 2% of homes were built before 1919, which is lower than 88% of the 723 areas we cover. The chimney breast in the kitchen served a back boiler behind the living room fire, so the flue is a shared one and the breast is deeper than a fireplace would need. The complication is the service riser boxed into a corner: the top is notched round it with a radiused internal corner, never a square one, and the notch is machined at the works from a measurement taken at the finished face.

What do you check about the route into a Morden property?

In Morden, 26% of households have no car or van: lower than 73% of the 723 areas we cover. The top step is rarely the end of it, because a door swinging out onto the landing has to be held back before a piece can come off the flight. Bathrooms sit at the top of that route more often than not, so whatever the ground floor is like, the last stage of the carry is a staircase.

Why do two quotes for bathroom worktops in Morden differ?

A vanity costs what it costs because of how much is drilled and polished into a short piece, not because of the area of stone in it. In Morden, 5% of homes have four or more bedrooms, lower than 77% of the 723 areas we cover.

What has to be finished before you can template?

In Morden, from the 1930s Underground-extension semi to the 1960s town-centre block, the vanity unit needs to be fixed and level before we template, with the basin and tap on site. Have the boxing in its final finished form before the template, along with the fixed unit, the basin and the tap.
