Services in a recent kitchen are boxed and documented, so the cut-out positions are settled at survey and cut into the slab with some confidence. The slab itself is the sample, so granite is chosen by the piece.

The denser granites absorb very little and are the sensible end of the range wherever nobody is going to maintain anything. That gets settled in front of the slab, not at the door.
Our granite runs from £148 to £250 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 45 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.

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 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.
