Ravensbury worktops
The kitchens we meet in Ravensbury
Stone worktop supply and fitting in Ravensbury is not one job repeated, because the kitchens here are not one kind of kitchen. Older estate maisonettes have kitchens on the entrance level with the living space above or behind, which keeps runs short and rules out islands entirely. Newer regeneration blocks alongside the Wandle come with modern carcasses at standard heights, so a stone swap is a clean like-for-like. You can leave that to us. What we need from you is a rough idea of the size and a date that suits.
Kitchens in this stock are compact and reasonably square, which makes the fixed lines a larger share of the total than the material is. Stone grows and shrinks a little with warmth, which is the reason joints are gapped, upstands are never wedged tight, and nothing is pinned as though it will sit still forever. Edges are charged along their length, not across the surface.
A service duct runs between the kitchen and the bathroom stacked above it, and access to that duct stays open whatever the layout does. Runs are short and the whole kitchen often comes off part of one slab, which means the remainder is the figure worth understanding before the colour is settled. Save on the colour before you save on the thickness.
The archetypes on this patch are Postwar estate housing, Interwar semi and 2010s regeneration block. What is behind the plaster is different in each, and it matters at fixing.
