The serving hatch between kitchen and dining room survives in a lot of these houses, and closing it up is often part of the same job. It changes the wall behind the run. Nothing to seal on the day, and nothing to seal later.

In a house the kitchen is usually on the ground floor with a door to the garden, so nothing has to be carried up anything. It changes the piece list rather than the specification.

The middle half of our quartz range runs from £150 to £270 per square metre, across 69 colours. In Enfield, 13% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, close to the middle of the London 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.

Across Enfield's 22 neighbourhoods, the share of homes that are flats runs from 16% in Enfield Highway to 76% in Bowes Park, with Edmonton Green (72%) and Bush Hill Park (69%) next. In those, the route up the stairs, more than the room, sets the size of each quartz piece.

Across Enfield's 22 neighbourhoods, the share of homes in converted or shared houses runs from 2% in Oakwood to 29% in Bowes Park, with Palmers Green (20%) and Winchmore Hill (11%) next. 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.

Free samples are posted for the Worktop Worx quartz collection; other quartz is judged from the slab.
