A good deal of what decides bathroom worktop fitting in Pitshanger could be settled by a tape measure and ten minutes in the room in question. 1930s semis with the kitchen alongside the garage, extended back into a family room. The usual upgrade is an island with breakfast seating plus a walk-in larder with its own shelving. Two kitchens on the same street can need different answers. That is why the price follows the template rather than the postcode.
Internal walls are hollow clay block or stud rather than solid brick, so two points a metre apart on the same wall want two different fixings. The stone is the straightforward half of a bathroom. The order the trades come in is what actually decides when we can be there. The depth sets the piece, not the length of the wall.
The room is wide enough that an island turns up in nearly every scheme, and how far the drainage can be taken is what fixes where it sits. The original bathroom here is the small room over the hall, and a vanity in it is short, shallow and hard against two walls, so both ends are scribed. Square rooms make short work of a vanity template.
The housing here takes in 1930s semi, interwar detached, Edwardian house near the lane and postwar infill. What the units are screwed to varies between them, and that decides the fixings.
