The upstands and the window sill come out of the same sheet, and on a small kitchen the sheet is barely touched. The price sits in the operations rather than the area. One survey, one cut list, one fit.

Suspended timber floors flex in the middle of a room, and a thin panel telegraphs movement rather than hiding it. The base is checked and stiffened first. The thickness is chosen for the room, not from the brochure.
Our sintered stone runs from £250 to £300 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 65 colours in the range. On kitchens this size the cut-outs and the joins cost more than the area does, so a rate per square metre would tell you almost nothing useful. We price the actual cut list.

We cannot post sintered stone offcuts, so samples are the quartz range only. The template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there too.
Questions
Dekton & sintered in Barking and Dagenham
Is sintered stone worth it on a small kitchen in Barking and Dagenham?
Often, but not for the reason people expect. On a compact run the cut-outs and joins cost more than the surface area does, so the material rate matters less than the cut list. We price the actual list so the comparison is real.
We have a nineteen-thirties semi in Barking and Dagenham. What should we expect?
Usually a galley and a rear addition, which take standard-length runs with few joins. The variable is what has already been done to the back of the house: an extension or a knocked-through wall changes the run and is worth mentioning when you enquire.
Do you cover the whole of Barking and Dagenham?
Yes — 24 neighbourhoods across 6 postcode districts, Alibon, Barking, Barking Riverside and Beam Park among them. There is nothing to visit: the template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there by the same team.

The housing does not change, so most of what is on this page still applies. What changes is weight, machining and maintenance.
