Dekton worktops in Bromley

29th of 33 London boroughs, highest first

Built in the three decades after the war / 34.7%

Where kitchens are replaced in numbers the sintered finishes repeat exactly from batch to batch. The cost sits in the machining rather than in the matching. Machined at the works, so nothing is adjusted at the door.

Straightforward access means we can use the sheet at its full size, so a long run or an island arrives as one panel. We will say which format suits it at survey.

The middle half of our sintered stone range runs from £250 to £300 per square metre, across 71 colours, 63 of them Dekton. In Bromley, 24% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, above the London middle. What moves the number is the cut list (joins, cut-outs and how the pieces nest into a slab) rather than the floor area of the room.

Across Bromley's 29 neighbourhoods, the share of housing built since 2010 runs from 0% in Mottingham to 18% in Bromley Common, with Crystal Palace (12%) and Bickley (11%) next. Modern carcasses are built square to a module, so a Dekton template on them goes quickly.

Crystal Palace has the highest flat share of the 29 Bromley neighbourhoods we list, at 88%, ahead of Beckenham (70%) and Anerley (66%); Petts Wood has the lowest, at 8%. Where the kitchen is upstairs, the thinner Dekton formats weigh less on the stairs and turn more easily on a landing.

We cannot post sintered stone offcuts, so samples are the Worktop Worx quartz collection only.
