Dekton worktops in Southwark

28th of 33 London boroughs, highest first

Built since 2010 / 17.7%

A run against a partition rather than a solid wall is common in newer flats, and the thinner formats put less load on it. That is a structural argument rather than a stylistic one. One survey, one cut list, one fit.

Lived in by their owners / 28.9%

Nothing to seal, nothing that scorches, and heat will not mark it. Where a worktop will simply be used and not maintained, that is the case for it. Worth mentioning when you enquire, so the quote uses the right format.

The middle half of our sintered stone range runs from £250 to £300 per square metre, across 71 colours, 63 of them Dekton. In Southwark, 8.9% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, below the London middle. 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.

The share of housing built since 2010 is not even across Southwark: of the 21 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Elephant and Castle at 48%, then Bankside (36%) and Surrey Quays (36%), and lowest in Dulwich Village at 1%. Modern carcasses are built square to a module, so a Dekton template on them goes quickly.

The share of homes that are flats is not even across Southwark: of the 21 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Elephant and Castle at 98%, then Borough (96%) and London Bridge (96%), and lowest in Dulwich Village at 28%. Where the kitchen is upstairs, the thinner Dekton formats weigh less on the stairs and turn more easily on a landing.
