The housing here
What Croydon's stock means for sintered stone
Taken across the whole of Croydon, 25.9% of the housing dates from the three decades after the war, above the London middle. 54.7% of homes are lived in by the people who own them, above the London middle.
Built in the three decades after the war · 25.9%
The repeating plan helps, but the machining does not: sinks, hobs and sockets are where sintered costs more, and a compact kitchen is mostly those. One survey, one cut list, one fit.
Lived in by their owners · 54.7%
A surface chosen to be kept for a decade should be judged on how it ages, not how it photographs. This is the one that changes least. That is a fabrication decision, taken before anything is cut.

What moves the price
Our sintered stone runs from £250 to £300 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 71 colours in the range. In Croydon, 11.9% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, close to the middle of the London range. The figure comes from the cut list: how many joins, how many cut-outs, and how cleanly the pieces nest into a slab, not from the floor area.
South Croydon has the highest share of post-2010 housing of the 25 Croydon neighbourhoods we list, at 71%, ahead of Coulsdon (24%) and Waddon (17%); Forestdale has the lowest, at 1%. Modern carcasses are built square to a module, so a Dekton template on them goes quickly.
The share of homes that are flats is not even across Croydon: of the 25 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in South Croydon at 98%, then Selhurst (71%) and South Norwood (55%), and lowest in Selsdon at 7%. Where the kitchen is upstairs, the thinner Dekton formats weigh less on the stairs and turn more easily on a landing.
Where most of the catalogue sits, supply only. Fabrication, edges, cut-outs and fitting are quoted on top.
We cannot post sintered stone 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
Dekton in Croydon
01Is Dekton worth it in a post-war Croydon kitchen?
It can be. In Croydon, 25.9% of the housing dates from the three decades after the war, above the London middle. Those kitchens tend to be compact and cut-out heavy, so the price is driven by the cut-outs and joins more than the area; every room is still measured, however familiar the plan.
02Is Dekton a good fit for a new-build kitchen in Croydon?
Yes. In Croydon, 11% of the housing has gone up since 2010, close to the middle of the London range. Dekton has effectively zero porosity, never needs sealing and has nothing in it that can scorch, and newer units are square and modular, which makes the template quick. We confirm at survey that the carcasses will take a stone top before anything is ordered.
03What does Dekton cost for a larger Croydon kitchen?
The slab count sets it more than the floor area. In Croydon, 12% of homes have four bedrooms or more, above the London middle. For the material alone, most of the 63 Dekton colours we fit are £226 to £300 per square metre, supply only; fabrication, edges and fitting are separate lines.

“We recently had our kitchen worktops supplied and fitted by Worktop WorX using Laurent Gold sintered stone, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. The finish, quality, and attention to detail were outstanding from start to finish. Karem was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer…”
“Absolutely delighted with our new worktop from Worktop WorX. The Capri White finish looks incredible, clean, modern, and really brightens up the whole kitchen while pairing beautifully with the darker cabinetry. The quality of the worktop is outstanding, with a flawless finish and seamless installation that really shows the attention to detail. It’s not…”
“Kareem did the countertops dur8ng my kitchen remodel, and I was so impressed that I had him back to do the laundry room as well, which tells you everything you need to know. He is an absolute gem. Shows up when he says he will (which, let’s be honest, is rarer than it should be), does beautifully work, and clearly takes real pride in what he does. The…”
