Concrete floors in these blocks are flat and strong, so the units sit true and a heavy top is not the problem it can be in an older house. The batch is recorded against the order, so a later piece can still be matched to it.

A garage or a side return usually gives somewhere to stage the pieces, which makes the fit calmer and quicker. It changes the piece list rather than the specification.

The middle half of our quartz range runs from £150 to £270 per square metre, across 69 colours. In Bromley, 24% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, above the London middle. Price follows the pieces, not the room: each join, cut-out and edge is a line on the quote, and the slab count comes from how the template nests.

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 up a flight, each quartz piece is sized to the stairwell before it is sized to the room.

Across Bromley's 29 neighbourhoods, the share of homes in converted or shared houses runs from 1% in Biggin Hill to 30% in Crystal Palace, with Anerley (18%) and Penge (18%) next. A conversion usually means a stair that turns and a kitchen made out of another room, so the quartz is cut from a template taken once the units are in.

Free samples are posted for the Worktop Worx quartz collection; other quartz is judged from the slab.
