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.
Our granite runs from £148 to £250 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 45 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
Granite in City of Westminster
Can you fit granite worktops in a flat in City of Westminster?
Yes, and it is most of what we do here. The constraint is the route rather than the room: we measure the stairwell, the lift and the turns at survey, and size the pieces to what will physically go up. Where a full-length piece will not make the turn, the join is planned into the design rather than improvised on the day.
How is an island priced in granite?
By yield, not by area. The question is how the pieces nest into a slab and whether the island needs a second one, and we can usually answer it at survey. A rate per square metre would not tell you which side of that line you fall.
Do you cover the whole of City of Westminster?
Yes — 22 neighbourhoods across 22 postcode districts, Bayswater, Belgravia, Church Street and Harrow Road 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.
