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 191940.2%
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.
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 Lambeth
Our flat is a converted house — does that change the granite worktop?
It changes the piece list more than the material. Conversions give you stairs that turn and rooms that are rarely square, so we template after the units are fixed and plan any join around the carry. The specification stays the same; how it arrives does not.
Will granite sit properly against the old walls in a Lambeth 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 That is why we do not quote a worktop from a floor plan.
Do you cover the whole of Lambeth?
Yes — 23 neighbourhoods across 11 postcode districts, Angell Town, Brixton, Brixton Hill and Clapham 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.
