Quartz worktops in Tower Hamlets

A recent kitchen usually has its services boxed in and documented, so the cut-outs are planned from the survey rather than found during it. The batch is recorded against the order, so a later piece can still be matched to it.

Where a managing agent is involved, access and timing take longer to arrange than the work itself. We book realistically rather than optimistically. That is a survey question, and we answer it on the day.

The middle half of our quartz range runs from £150 to £270 per square metre, across 69 colours. In Tower Hamlets, 13.7% of homes sit in council tax band F or above, above the London middle. The figure comes from the cut list: how many joins, how many cut-outs, and how cleanly the pieces nest into a slab, not from the floor area.

The share of homes that are flats is not even across Tower Hamlets: of the 23 neighbourhoods we list, it is highest in Canary Wharf at 99%, then Blackwall (98%) and Brick Lane (94%), and lowest in Old Ford at 68%. Where the kitchen is up a flight, each quartz piece is sized to the stairwell before it is sized to the room.

Across Tower Hamlets's 23 neighbourhoods, the share of homes in converted or shared houses runs from 0% in Canary Wharf to 12% in Old Ford, with Bethnal Green (4%) and Bow (4%) next. A conversion usually means a stair that turns and a kitchen made out of another room, so the quartz is cut from a template taken once the units are in.

Free samples are posted for the Worktop Worx quartz collection; other quartz is judged from the slab.
