Ceiling heights in a subdivided house rarely match the units they now hold, so wall cupboards and worktop runs end up in unusual relationships. The template records it as found. Nothing to seal on the day, and nothing to seal later.

Skirting, picture rails and a century of repainting mean the wall is not where the plan says. The template is taken off the wall itself. That is a survey question, and we answer it on the day.
Our quartz runs from £150 to £280 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 71 colours in the range. On rooms this size the number is set by slab yield: how many pieces come out of a slab, and whether an island needs a second one. Square metreage is the last thing we work out, not the first.

Questions
Quartz in Camden
Our flat is a converted house — does that change the quartz 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.
Will quartz sit properly against the old walls in a Camden kitchen?
Yes, provided it is templated and not estimated. Walls this age are rarely straight, so the wall line is cut from a physical template taken after the units are fixed and level. That is why we do not quote a worktop from a floor plan.
Do you cover the whole of Camden?
Yes — 23 neighbourhoods across 15 postcode districts, Belsize Park, Bloomsbury, Camden Town and Chalk Farm 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.
