Woodside worktops
The kitchens we meet in Woodside
Pricing worktop jobs in Woodside has less to do with the postcode than with what the kitchen turns out to be once someone has measured it. Mostly modest kitchens in post-war estate housing and older terraces around Woodside Green, typically a 2.7m run plus a short return, with a serving hatch to the living room that owners now want blocked up or turned into a pass-through breakfast bar. You will get a firm figure for your Woodside kitchen once it has been templated, and that figure does not move afterwards.
The original units were screwed to timber grounds set into the wall, and where those were torn out the plaster was patched rather than replaced. Quartz, granite and sintered stone each let you down in a different way, and choosing well is mostly a matter of knowing which of those three failures this room will provoke. The light in a room shortens the shortlist faster than the budget does.
An ex-council house is solidly built to a standard plan, with the kitchen at the rear and a back door next to it. Rooms in this stock are compact and the runs are short, so the whole kitchen often comes off part of one slab and the remainder is the number worth thinking about. Open-plan surfaces are furniture before they are work surfaces.
The kinds of building we work in here are Victorian terrace, post-war council estate, 1970s low-rise flats and inter-war semi. The template reads them differently even where the layout looks identical.
