Granite worktops in Harrow

30th of 33 London boroughs, highest first

Suspended timber floors flex most in the middle of a room, so a peninsula or an island carrying granite needs its base checked and stiffened before the top goes on. Sealed on the day it is fitted, and we tell you when it is due again.

Side access means the longest piece stays whole, and a whole piece of granite is one continuous run of pattern. 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 Harrow, 16.6% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, above the London middle. Price follows the pieces, not the room: each join, cut-out and edge is a line on the quote, and the slab count comes from how the template nests.

Owner-occupation is not even across Harrow: of the 21 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in North Harrow at 77%, then Belmont (76%) and Headstone (72%), and lowest in Greenhill at 40%. Granite wants its seal topped up now and then, which is simplest where the people cooking on it own it.

Across Harrow's 21 neighbourhoods, the share of housing standing before 1919 runs from 0% in Kenton to 36% in West Harrow, with Wealdstone (25%) and Harrow on the Hill (24%) 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.
