Nothing about bathroom worktop fitting in Southall Green is decided by us alone, since the units, the walls and the way you get through the door all get a say. Closely packed terraces, many subdivided, with narrow galley kitchens in the rear return and a covered outdoor cooking area at the back of the garden for anything heavy. The quote is free, so finding out where you stand costs you nothing at all.
Gas, waste and later wiring were boxed in against the wall long after the house was built, and that boxing is what the run has to clear. Ventilation, heating and lighting all compete for the same short stretch of wall, so by the time the surface is drawn the room has already been argued over once. The aperture is polished because you look straight down into it.
Many have had the ground floor chimney breast removed to gain three hundred millimetres, and the gained strip is newer blockwork standing proud of the old plaster. Either way the walls are thin, the floor is boards over shallow joists and nothing meets at a right angle, so the vanity is scribed at both ends and the unit is fixed back to the wall as well as standing on the floor. Old pipework is boxed rather than moved, and the top notches round it.
The stock on this patch is Victorian terrace, Edwardian terrace, subdivided house and flat above shop. The one you have sets the piece length before the kitchen does.
