The housing here
What Kensington and Chelsea's stock means for granite
In Kensington and Chelsea, 65.7% of the housing was already standing before 1919, the highest of the 33 London boroughs. 53.3% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, the highest of the 33 London boroughs.
A century of repainting means the wall is not where the plan puts it. The template comes off the wall, and the slab is cut to the template. You see the slab before it is cut.
Council tax band F or above / 53.3%
A big room usually wants upstands and splashbacks as well as tops, and taking them from the same slab is the only way they will match the run. 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. On rooms this size the number is set by slab yield: how many pieces come out of a slab, and whether an island needs a second one. Square metreage is the last thing we work out, not the first.
Across Kensington and Chelsea's 19 neighbourhoods, owner-occupation runs from 11% in Golborne to 82% in World's End, with Notting Hill (41%) and Holland Park (39%) next. Granite is sealed on installation and topped up over time, a schedule that is easiest to keep where people own the kitchen they cook in.
The share of housing standing before 1919 is not even across Kensington and Chelsea: of the 19 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in West Brompton at 88%, then South Kensington (84%) and Notting Hill (76%), and lowest in World's End 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.

Questions
Granite in Kensington and Chelsea
01Can we put hot pans straight onto granite in Kensington and Chelsea?
Yes, granite handles heat well, so a pan off the hob is fine on it. In Kensington and Chelsea, 53.3% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, the highest of the 33 London boroughs. What it asks in return is a seal: it is sealed when fitted and topped up over time.
02Our Kensington and Chelsea house is Victorian. Can granite follow walls that are not straight?
Yes. In Kensington and Chelsea, 65.7% of the housing was already standing before 1919, the highest of the 33 London boroughs. The template records the real wall line once the units are fixed and level, the stone is cut to it, and the back edge is scribed on the day so it follows the plaster rather than a straight line.
03Can granite be carried up to a flat in Kensington and Chelsea?
Yes. In Kensington and Chelsea, flats make up 84.4% of homes, among the highest in London. The carry is measured at survey (the stairwell, the lift and the turns) and the pieces are cut to what will go up, with any join planned into the design rather than found on the day.
