These houses have a door to the side passage part way along a wall, which breaks the run whether the design wants it broken or not. Nothing to seal on the day, and nothing to seal later.

Where the pieces come in through a back door, the only joins are the ones the layout asks for, and on quartz that means a run with no colour matching in it at all. 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 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.

Across Harrow's 21 neighbourhoods, the share of homes that are flats runs from 12% in Belmont to 78% in Greenhill, with Harrow on the Hill (59%) and South Harrow (58%) next. In those, the route up the stairs, more than the room, sets the size of each quartz piece.

Across Harrow's 21 neighbourhoods, the share of homes in converted or shared houses runs from 1% in Belmont to 15% in Greenhill, with West Harrow (13%) and Wealdstone (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.
