The housing here
What Croydon's stock means for quartz
Across 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%
A wall-mounted boiler over the run is common here, and it sets the upstand height and the reach of the tap. Both are recorded at survey. The batch is recorded against the order, so a later piece can still be matched to it.

The decision gets made in the kitchen rather than by an agent, and a posted sample from our own quartz collection can sit against the units and the floor for a few days. None of that changes the material, only the plan for getting it in.

What moves the price
Our quartz runs from £150 to £270 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 69 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.
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 up a flight, each quartz piece is sized to the stairwell before it is sized to the room.
Selhurst has the highest share of converted houses of the 25 Croydon neighbourhoods we list, at 17%, ahead of South Norwood (14%) and Thornton Heath (14%); Selsdon has the lowest, at 1%. A conversion usually means a stair that turns and a kitchen made out of another room, so the quartz is cut from a template taken once the units are in.
Where most of the catalogue sits, supply only. Fabrication, edges, cut-outs and fitting are quoted on top.
Free samples are posted for the Worktop Worx quartz collection; other quartz is judged from the slab. The template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there too.

Questions
Quartz in Croydon
01Will a quartz worktop fit up the stairs to a Croydon flat?
It will, because the pieces are cut to the stairs rather than the stairs being argued with. In Croydon, flats make up 43.5% of homes, below the London middle. We measure the lift car, the landings and every turn at survey, and if one full length cannot make it, the plan puts a join where it reads least.
02How is a quartz island priced in Croydon?
By the cut list and the slab yield rather than the floor area. In Croydon, 12% of homes have four bedrooms or more, above the London middle, and on a larger kitchen the question is how the pieces nest into a slab and whether an island needs a second one. Most of our 69 quartz colours sit between £150 and £270 per square metre, supply only.
03How do we choose a quartz colour for a Croydon kitchen?
In the kitchen itself, with a sample. In Croydon, 54.7% of homes are lived in by the people who own them, above the London middle. Samples of our own Worktop Worx quartz collection are posted free; put one against your floor and units in daylight and again at night. Colours we order in by the slab cannot be posted, and each colour page says which kind it is.
