Developer specifications assume a material that repeats. Granite does not: two slabs of the same stone are not the same stone, and a later replacement will not match. Sealed on the day it is fitted, and we tell you when it is due again.

Void periods are short, template to fit cannot be compressed, and on natural stone the slab has to be chosen before either. We say so at the enquiry rather than later. 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 Tower Hamlets
Can you replace a worktop in a new-build flat in Tower Hamlets?
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 Tower Hamlets?
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 Tower Hamlets?
Yes — 23 neighbourhoods across 5 postcode districts, Bethnal Green, Blackwall, Bow and Bow Common 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.
