Streatham Common worktops
The kitchens we meet in Streatham Common
Getting stone worktop supply and fitting in Streatham Common right is mostly a matter of knowing what you are dealing with before the order goes in, and that means looking properly. Bigger houses on the slopes above the common support proper family kitchens with a 4m run, a 2.5m island and a utility off the back, often with a range cooker needing a full-height stone splashback. Ceiling heights allow tall wall units, so the panel behind the hob is a substantial piece in its own right. If you are not sure which of those describes your kitchen, that is normal, and it is exactly what the template visit settles.
Party wall settlement pulls the floor down at one side of the room, so a long run reads level at one end and not at the other. A colour name is a label attached to a consignment rather than a property of the rock, which is why the reference number on the paperwork outlives the name printed beside it. A slab has a direction, and the room decides which way it runs.
Rear rooms of this date have a wide sash or a pair of garden doors, so a good deal of the wall the run wants is glass. Rooms in these houses run long and narrow with the only honest daylight at the garden end, so a pale honed surface does more for the working half of the kitchen than any colour with depth in it. Warm stone beside painted timber, cool grey rarely.
The building types here are Large Edwardian semi, Victorian villa, 1930s detached and Interwar block. Which one you have changes the order of the day more than the design does.
