The original kitchen here was a scullery against an outside wall with the waste already through it. Where the waste runs still decides the sink, and the sink is the largest cut-out. Templated in your kitchen, fabricated to that survey, fitted by our own team.

An island is a yield question first. We can usually tell you at survey whether it comes out of one slab or two, and that is the number that moves. The cut list carries it; the specification does not change.
Our quartz runs from £150 to £280 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 71 colours in the range. 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.

Questions
Quartz in Kensington and Chelsea
Will quartz sit properly against the old walls in a Kensington and Chelsea kitchen?
Yes, provided it is templated and not estimated. Walls this age are rarely straight, so the wall line is cut from a physical template taken after the units are fixed and level. That is why we do not quote a worktop from a floor plan.
How is an island priced in quartz?
By yield, not by area. The question is how the pieces nest into a slab and whether the island needs a second one, and we can usually answer it at survey. A rate per square metre would not tell you which side of that line you fall.
Do you cover the whole of Kensington and Chelsea?
Yes — 19 neighbourhoods across 9 postcode districts, Brompton, Campden Hill, Chelsea and Chelsea Harbour among them. There is nothing to visit: the template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there by the same team.

The housing does not change, so most of what is on this page still applies. What changes is weight, machining and maintenance.
