With a managing agent involved, arranging access usually takes longer than the work. We book to what can actually be confirmed. Priced from the slab and the cut list, both itemised.

Short runs mean the machining outweighs the metreage. Worth comparing against engineered stone before committing on a room this size. The stone decides part of this, and we will show you which part.

The middle half of our granite range runs from £148 to £250 per square metre, across 45 colours. With short runs the labour sits in the cut-outs and the edges rather than the stone, which is why the quote itemises each one instead of quoting by the square metre.

Owner-occupation is not even across Hackney: of the 20 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Lea Bridge at 47%, then Lower Clapton (41%) and Stoke Newington (33%), and lowest in Manor House at 14%. Granite wants its seal topped up now and then, which is simplest where the people cooking on it own it.

The share of housing standing before 1919 is not even across Hackney: of the 20 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Lower Clapton at 83%, then Stoke Newington (68%) and Lea Bridge (61%), and lowest in Manor House at 4%. 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.
