A sink under the window and a hob opposite is the usual arrangement, and it puts two large cut-outs into a short run. That is where the cost sits. Sealed on the day it is fitted, and we tell you when it is due again.
Converted or shared houses16.3%
A conversion usually puts the kitchen against a bedroom wall, which decides where the sink can go and therefore where the largest cut-out falls in the slab. 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. On kitchens this size the cut-outs and the joins cost more than the area does, so a rate per square metre would tell you almost nothing useful. We price the actual cut list.

Questions
Granite in Lewisham
Is granite worth it on a small kitchen in Lewisham?
Often, but not for the reason people expect. On a compact run the cut-outs and joins cost more than the surface area does, so the material rate matters less than the cut list. We price the actual list so the comparison is real.
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.
Do you cover the whole of Lewisham?
Yes — 25 neighbourhoods across 10 postcode districts, Bell Green, Bellingham, Blackheath and Brockley 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.
