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 owners28.9%
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.
Our sintered stone runs from £250 to £300 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 65 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.
£250–£300/m²
Where most of the catalogue sits, supply only. Fabrication, edges, cut-outs and fitting are quoted on top.

We cannot post sintered stone offcuts, so samples are the quartz range only. The template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there too.
Questions
Dekton & sintered in Southwark
Can you replace a worktop in a new-build flat in Southwark?
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.
Which worktop needs least maintenance in a rented property in Southwark?
The engineered and sintered surfaces, because neither needs sealing. Granite is porous to varying degrees and is sealed on installation, which then wants topping up over time — fine in an owner-occupied home, less realistic where nobody has been told to do it.
Do you cover the whole of Southwark?
Yes — 21 neighbourhoods across 7 postcode districts, Bankside, Bermondsey, Borough and Camberwell 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.
