Stone varies piece to piece, so the honest way to choose it is standing in front of the slab. We arrange that before anything is cut. Sealed on the day it is fitted, and we tell you when it is due again.

The rear addition on a semi usually puts a join in the run. On granite that join is placed where the pattern hides it, which is a slab-selection decision. Better weighed while the slabs are still in front of you.
Our granite runs from £148 to £250 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 45 colours in the range. 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.

We cannot post granite offcuts, so samples are the quartz range only. The template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there too.
Questions
Granite in Kingston upon Thames
Can we see a sample before ordering granite?
Not by post. We can only send offcuts of the quartz range, so granite is chosen from the range and confirmed before anything is cut. If holding the material first matters to you, the quartz samples are free and there is nothing to visit either way.
We have a nineteen-thirties semi in Kingston upon Thames. What should we expect?
Usually a galley and a rear addition, which take standard-length runs with few joins. The variable is what has already been done to the back of the house: an extension or a knocked-through wall changes the run and is worth mentioning when you enquire.
Do you cover the whole of Kingston upon Thames?
Yes — 15 neighbourhoods across 7 postcode districts, Berrylands, Canbury, Chessington and Coombe (Kingston) 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.
