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.
Flats41.1%
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.
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.

Questions
Granite in Enfield
We have a nineteen-thirties semi in Enfield. What should we expect?
Usually a galley and a rear addition, which take standard-length runs with few joins. The variable is what has already been done to the back of the house: an extension or a knocked-through wall changes the run and is worth mentioning when you enquire.
Do you need rear access to fit granite in a house in Enfield?
It helps and it is usually available here. A side gate or a through route lets us bring full-length pieces in whole, which means fewer joins. Where the only way in is through the front, we say so at survey and size the pieces to the hallway.
Do you cover the whole of Enfield?
Yes — 22 neighbourhoods across 10 postcode districts, Arnos Grove, Botany Bay, Bowes Park and Brimsdown 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.
