The kitchens repeat and the stone does not. A second order is a second slab, so we show you the piece rather than the type. You see the slab before it is cut.
Lived in by their owners54.7%
With natural stone no offcut represents the slab, which is why granite is not something we post out. Owners choosing for themselves are choosing a specific piece of stone rather than a colour. 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. What moves the number is the cut list — joins, cut-outs and how the pieces nest into a slab — rather than the floor area of the room.
£148–£250/m²
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 quartz range only. The template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there too.
Questions
Granite in Croydon
Do you work on estate kitchens in Croydon?
Regularly. The plans repeat, so we usually know the shape before we arrive, but we still measure every room — identical kitchens stop being identical the first time someone moves a wall. Compact runs are cut-out heavy, and that is what drives the price more than the area.
Can we see a sample before ordering granite?
Not by post. We can only send offcuts of the quartz range, so granite is chosen from the range and confirmed before anything is cut. If holding the material first matters to you, the quartz samples are free and there is nothing to visit either way.
Do you cover the whole of Croydon?
Yes — 25 neighbourhoods across 9 postcode districts, Addington, Addiscombe, Ashburton and Broad Green 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.
