The housing here
What Lambeth's stock means for granite
In Lambeth, 20.6% of homes sit in converted or shared houses, among the highest in London. 40.2% of the housing was already standing before 1919, above the London middle.
Converted or shared houses · 20.6%
Floor levels wander through a converted house and stone will not bend to them. Levelling and packing the units is where that gets resolved, before the template rather than after. You see the slab before it is cut.
Standing before 1919 · 40.2%
Sash windows sit low in these houses, so the upstand often has to be kept short. On granite the upstands come off the same slab, so the height is settled at selection. Which is a slab decision, and it is made with you.

What moves the price
Our granite runs from £148 to £250 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 45 colours in the range. In Lambeth, 12.1% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, close to the middle of the London 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.
Streatham Vale has the highest owner-occupation of the 23 Lambeth neighbourhoods we list, at 54%, ahead of Streatham Common (48%) and West Norwood (44%); Myatt's Fields has the lowest, at 19%. Granite wants its seal topped up now and then, which is simplest where the people cooking on it own it.
The share of housing standing before 1919 is not even across Lambeth: of the 23 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Herne Hill at 70%, then Knight's Hill (59%) and Streatham Hill (58%), and lowest in Streatham Vale at 4%. Walls of that age are rarely straight, so a granite top is scribed to the template rather than to a straight line.
Where most of the catalogue sits, supply only. Fabrication, edges, cut-outs and fitting are quoted on top.
We cannot post granite offcuts, so samples are the Worktop Worx quartz collection only. The template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there too.

Questions
Granite in Lambeth
01Do old Lambeth walls cause gaps behind a granite worktop?
Not when the top is templated. In Lambeth, 40.2% of the housing was already standing before 1919, above the London middle. The template is taken after the units are fixed and level, so the real wall line is cut into the stone and the back edge is scribed to it on the day.
02Is granite a good choice beside a busy hob in Lambeth?
On heat, yes: hot pans are fine on granite, which is why it still earns its place next to a hob that gets hammered. In Lambeth, 12.1% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, close to the middle of the London range. The trade-off is upkeep, because granite is sealed on installation and topped up over time.
03Does granite need resealing in a Lambeth kitchen?
Yes, from time to time. It is sealed when it goes in, because granite is porous to varying degrees, and the seal is topped up over the years. In Lambeth, 33% of homes are lived in by the people who own them, below the London middle; in a home you own that is a small routine, and in a let one it needs to be on someone's list.
