Dekton worktops in Harrow

27th of 33 London boroughs, highest first

Built between the wars / 51.9%

Short runs in a solid house suit the thinner formats: a hard-wearing surface without putting thirty millimetres of stone through an old floor. One survey, one cut list, one fit.

A side return or garage gives somewhere to stage a full sheet, which is what makes the largest formats practical. We will say which format suits it at survey.

The middle half of our sintered stone range runs from £250 to £300 per square metre, across 71 colours, 63 of them Dekton. In Harrow, 16.6% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, above the London middle. 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.

The share of housing built since 2010 is not even across Harrow: of the 21 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Greenhill at 38%, then Canons Park (24%) and Sudbury Hill (14%), and lowest in North Harrow at 0%. Newer kitchens usually sit on square, modular units, which keeps the template for a Dekton top quick.

The share of homes that are flats is not even across Harrow: of the 21 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Greenhill at 78%, then Harrow on the Hill (59%) and South Harrow (58%), and lowest in Belmont at 12%. Where the kitchen is upstairs, the thinner Dekton formats weigh less on the stairs and turn more easily on a landing.
