Newer flats often put the run against a partition rather than a solid wall, and the heaviest of the three needs that support checked before it goes on. The slab itself is the sample, so granite is chosen by the piece.

Replacing the worktop alone is usually the sensible upgrade on a room this size, and granite makes a visible difference to a small kitchen. The stone decides part of this, and we will show you which part.
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.

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 Newham
Can you replace a worktop in a new-build flat in Newham?
Yes. Newer units are square and built to a module, which makes the template quick and the yield predictable. The thing to check is the carcass: we confirm at survey that the existing units will take a new top before anything is ordered.
Is granite worth it on a small kitchen in Newham?
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.
Do you cover the whole of Newham?
Yes — 22 neighbourhoods across 7 postcode districts, Beckton, Canning Town, Custom House and Cyprus 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.
