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.
Council tax band F or above · 1.9%
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.

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. With short runs the labour sits in the cut-outs and the edges rather than the stone, which is why the quote itemises each one instead of quoting by the square metre.
Upton Park has the highest owner-occupation of the 22 Newham neighbourhoods we list, at 42%, ahead of East Ham (41%) and Plashet (41%); East Village has the lowest, at 13%. Granite is sealed on installation and topped up over time, a schedule that is easiest to keep where people own the kitchen they cook in.
The share of housing standing before 1919 is not even across Newham: of the 22 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Upton Park at 88%, then Plashet (85%) and Green Street (84%), and lowest in East Village at 0%. 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 Newham
01Is granite a good choice beside a busy hob in Newham?
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 Newham, 1.9% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, among the lowest in London. The trade-off is upkeep, because granite is sealed on installation and topped up over time.
02How is a granite island priced in Newham?
By yield, not by area. In Newham, 5.8% of homes have four bedrooms or more, among the lowest in London. What sets the number on a bigger room is how many pieces come out of each slab and whether the island takes a second one; most of our 45 granite colours sit between £148 and £250 per square metre, supply only.
03Will granite sit tight to the old walls of a Newham kitchen?
Yes, provided it is templated rather than estimated. In Newham, 37.3% of the housing was already standing before 1919, above the London middle. Walls that age are rarely straight, so the wall line is cut from a template taken after the units are fixed and level, and the back edges are scribed to it on fitting day.
