Many of these units have been replaced once. Whether the current carcasses are sound is the question that decides the job, and it is answered at survey. You see the slab before it is cut.

Council tax band F or above / 10.4%

A slab is a slab whatever size the kitchen is, so a compact run carries a larger share of the waste. That is the comparison worth making here. 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. 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.

Owner-occupation is not even across Hounslow: of the 19 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Whitton at 69%, then Bedford Park (61%) and Osterley (55%), and lowest in Gunnersbury at 29%. Granite wants its seal topped up now and then, which is simplest where the people cooking on it own it.

Bedford Park has the highest pre-1919 share of the 19 Hounslow neighbourhoods we list, at 81%, ahead of Chiswick (51%) and Strand-on-the-Green (46%); Cranford has the lowest, at 1%. 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.
