A picture saved on a phone is a fine place to start bathroom worktop fitting in North Ealing, though it says nothing about what your own kitchen will allow. Substantial houses with the kitchen at the rear and a separate utility behind it. Islands with waterfall ends, and increasingly a second sink and a dedicated prep zone away from the main run. We would rather find an out of square wall at survey than on fitting day, so the survey is thorough and unhurried.
Solid walls hold their heat and their damp, and anything sealed against them is worth looking at again a season later. What that does to a vanity is push the whole job into a narrow depth, because a bathroom takes the same stone as a kitchen in about two thirds of the width. One piece, four operations, and nowhere for any of them to move.
Internal walls are lath and plaster on studs with heavy framing behind, so a fixing finds either nothing at all or something very solid. 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. Half tiling leaves a line the splash return has to meet.
The stock behind these kitchens runs to Large Edwardian detached, 1930s detached, interwar semi and period conversion flat. The one you have sets the piece length before the kitchen does.
