A side passage door part way along a wall breaks the run, and on granite a break is a join with a pattern that has to carry across it. Sealed on the day it is fitted, and we tell you when it is due again.

A house with side access lets the longest piece stay one piece, which on natural stone is the difference between one pattern and a matched pair. Better weighed while the slabs are still in front of you.

The middle half of our granite range runs from £148 to £250 per square metre, across 45 colours. In Enfield, 13% 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.

Grange Park has the highest owner-occupation of the 22 Enfield neighbourhoods we list, at 79%, ahead of Winchmore Hill (76%) and Oakwood (63%); Edmonton Green has the lowest, at 20%. Granite wants its seal topped up now and then, which is simplest where the people cooking on it own it.

Across Enfield's 22 neighbourhoods, the share of housing standing before 1919 runs from 4% in Oakwood to 65% in Bowes Park, with Palmers Green (44%) and Winchmore Hill (35%) next. Walls of that age are rarely straight, so a granite top is scribed to the template rather than to a straight line.

We cannot post granite offcuts, so samples are the Worktop Worx quartz collection only.
