Upper Norwood worktops
The kitchens we meet in Upper Norwood
Stone worktop supply and fitting in Upper Norwood lives or dies on the awkward detail nobody mentions on the phone, and that detail is almost always something about the room. Substantial villas on the hill with large but oddly shaped kitchens, often in a lower ground floor or rear return with a step down and a low window head. The Beulah Hill detached properties run to full island kitchens with utility and pantry; the conversions are small and constrained. The point of the visit is that you stop guessing and get a number you can hold us to.
Old flues run inside the wall behind the run, so a deep fixing finds a void about as often as it finds brick. Weight arrives as a figure per square metre and turns into a question about the floor, which is worth asking in any building where a timber span carries the kitchen. A week with a sample on the units beats an hour in a showroom.
The kitchen is generally a rear extension or a knocked-through pair of rooms, so part of the perimeter is old wall and part of it is new. Kitchens of this size nearly always run to two slabs, and once a second slab is in the quotation the question changes from price per square metre to which slab you actually want. Seen from both sides, the figure has to run continuously.
The building types here are large Victorian villa, villa converted to flats, Beulah Hill detached and 1930s mansion flats. Which one you have changes the order of the day more than the design does.
