    Communal stairs get boarded and the route protected, which on stone this heavy is as much about the building as it is about the worktop. Templated after the units are in, cut to that template.

    A mitred edge on granite is machining plus a concealed join, and on a large island it is the detail that gets examined closely. It is priced as an operation rather than as thickness. The stone decides part of this, and we will show you which part.

What moves the price

Our granite runs from £148 to £250 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 45 colours in the range. Bigger kitchens are priced by the slab count. The template shows whether the run and an island nest into one slab or need two, and that decides more than the square metres do.

Across City of Westminster's 22 neighbourhoods, owner-occupation runs from 11% in Kensal Town to 49% in Knightsbridge, with Belgravia (49%) and Little Venice (40%) next. Granite wants its seal topped up now and then, which is simplest where the people cooking on it own it.

Across City of Westminster's 22 neighbourhoods, the share of housing standing before 1919 runs from 11% in Kensal Town to 90% in Maida Vale, with Harrow Road (80%) and Little Venice (76%) next. Walls of that age are rarely straight, so a granite top is scribed to the template rather than to a straight line.

Where most of the catalogue sits, supply only. Fabrication, edges, cut-outs and fitting are quoted on top.

We cannot post granite offcuts, so samples are the Worktop Worx quartz collection only. The template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there too.

Questions

Granite in City of Westminster

01

Does granite stand up to heavy cooking in City of Westminster?

On heat it is excellent, and hot pans are fine on it. In City of Westminster, 46.1% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, among the highest in London. Keep the seal topped up, since granite is porous to varying degrees and is sealed when it goes in.

02

Do old City of Westminster walls cause gaps behind a granite worktop?

Not when the top is templated. In City of Westminster, 49% of the housing was already standing before 1919, among the highest in London. The template is taken after the units are fixed and level, so the real wall line is cut into the stone and the back edge is scribed to it on the day.

03

Is granite practical in an upstairs City of Westminster flat?

It is, with the carry planned. In City of Westminster, flats make up 91.1% of homes, among the highest in London. Every turn and the lift are measured at survey, the pieces are sized to the route, and if a join is needed its place is agreed before the stone is cut.
