Raynes Park worktops
The kitchens we meet in Raynes Park
There is no single answer to what stone worktop supply and fitting in Raynes Park costs, and the honest version of that answer starts with the kind of kitchen involved. The interwar semi is the standard unit: kitchen at the back with a small breakfast room next to it, and the usual project is knocking the two together to make an L with a peninsula facing the garden doors. Runs are typically 2.7m to 3.4m with a return of about 1.8m. You can leave that to us. What we need from you is a rough idea of the size and a date that suits.
These kitchens have usually been retiled twice and knocked through once, and both of those leave marks the worktop has to deal with. Which stone belongs on top of all that is a separate question from the building itself, and it is the one with a figure attached, because supply alone runs from £110 to £550 per square metre before a single cut has been made. A week with a sample on the units beats an hour in a showroom.
There is usually a shared rear alley, and whether the gate onto it is unlocked decides whether long pieces come in from the back. Original tiling and painted timber sit more comfortably beside a warm stone than a cool grey, and cool grey is the choice most often regretted in a room of this period. Even light lets a mid-tone hold its own.
The archetypes on this patch are 1930s semi, Edwardian terrace and 1960s low-rise flat. What is behind the plaster is different in each, and it matters at fixing.
