Putney worktops
The kitchens we meet in Putney
A picture saved on a phone is a fine place to start stone worktop supply and fitting in Putney, though it says nothing about what your own kitchen will allow. Mansion flats and purpose-built blocks near the river hold the bulk of the work, with kitchens confined to their original footprint, a run of 2.6m to 3.2m and a return, sometimes opened to the reception with a peninsula in the opening. Terraced houses on the streets off the Upper Richmond Road take a conventional rear extension. The tape measure decides it, not the description above, and not anything anybody says over the telephone.
Permitted working hours, a porter and a booked lift set a hard finish time on the day whatever stage the fit has reached. Veining is the part people pick from a photograph and then meet at full size, running across a slab at a scale no postcard has ever managed to convey. The light in a room shortens the shortlist faster than the budget does.
External walls are thick and the run under the window sits in a deep reveal that has to be templated rather than assumed square. The joinery around it is deep and period, so a substantial thickness with a simple profile sits beside it far better than a slim modern edge does. Seen from both sides, the figure has to run continuously.
The stock behind these kitchens runs to Victorian terrace, Edwardian mansion flat, 1930s purpose-built flat and Riverside apartment. Which of those you have decides most of what follows.
