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 owners · 54.7%
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.

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. 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.
Owner-occupation is not even across Croydon: of the 25 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Sanderstead at 88%, then Selsdon (88%) and Monks Orchard (83%), and lowest in South Croydon at 21%. Granite is sealed on installation and topped up over time, a schedule that is easiest to keep where people own the kitchen they cook in.
Across Croydon's 25 neighbourhoods, the share of housing standing before 1919 runs from 0% in Addington to 60% in Thornton Heath, with Addiscombe (52%) and Selhurst (48%) 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 Croydon
01Will granite sit tight to the old walls of a Croydon kitchen?
Yes, provided it is templated rather than estimated. In Croydon, 28.6% of the housing was already standing before 1919, close to the middle of the London range. Walls that age are rarely straight, so the wall line is cut from a template taken after the units are fixed and level, and the back edges are scribed to it on fitting day.
02Is granite a good choice beside a busy hob in Croydon?
On heat, yes: hot pans are fine on granite, which is why it still earns its place next to a hob that gets hammered. In Croydon, 11.9% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, close to the middle of the London range. The trade-off is upkeep, because granite is sealed on installation and topped up over time.
03How is a granite island priced in Croydon?
By yield, not by area. In Croydon, 12% of homes have four bedrooms or more, above the London middle. What sets the number on a bigger room is how many pieces come out of each slab and whether the island takes a second one; most of our 45 granite colours sit between £148 and £250 per square metre, supply only.

“I am really happy with the work! He fitted my kitchen granite worktop really nicely and got the job done on time, just as promised. He was friendly, professional, and made sure everything was done the way I wanted. Would definitely recommend Karam to anyone looking for a great job!”
“We have a new kitchen. Our builder recommended Worktop Worx for our worktop. Now we have an amazing worktop very good price too. Really recommend. They were really good to us. 10/10”
“I used Karem’s services 5 years ago for purchasing and fitting the quartz worktop in my then brand new kitchen. The price was reasonable and the service reliable and spot on, no delays in fitting, misunderstanding or excuses. I recommended him to a friend, who also used his services and they were happy too! If I need to order new kitchen work top again,…”
