Modern kitchens are usually unaltered, so the drawing is close to the truth. We still template, because granite is cut once. The slab itself is the sample, so granite is chosen by the piece.
Converted or shared houses16.5%
Kitchens in converted houses are usually former back rooms, with services already where the last use left them. The cut-outs follow that, not a standard layout. Which is a slab decision, and it is made with you.
Our granite runs from £148 to £250 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 45 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 granite offcuts, so samples are the quartz range only. The template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there too.
Questions
Granite in Brent
Can you replace a worktop in a new-build flat in Brent?
Yes. Newer units are square and built to a module, which makes the template quick and the yield predictable. The thing to check is the carcass: we confirm at survey that the existing units will take a new top before anything is ordered.
Our flat is a converted house — does that change the granite worktop?
It changes the piece list more than the material. Conversions give you stairs that turn and rooms that are rarely square, so we template after the units are fixed and plan any join around the carry. The specification stays the same; how it arrives does not.
Do you cover the whole of Brent?
Yes — 26 neighbourhoods across 9 postcode districts, Alperton, Brondesbury, Brondesbury Park and Church End 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.
