Hob cut-outs
Sitting a hob on top of the stone or dropping it flush into it are two very different pieces of fabrication.
Before you choose
These are options, not products
You cannot add an edge profile to a basket, and we would not want you to. What each of these costs depends on how many metres of it your kitchen needs, and on the slab it is being cut from.
So there are no prices on this page. Every option below is itemised on your written quote instead, with the actual quantity your kitchen needs (six metres of upstand, one rebated hob cut-out, four softened corners), so you can see what each decision costs and take one out if you would rather spend the money on a better slab.
Most of these are decided at template stage, when we are standing in the kitchen and can see how the light falls and where you will actually be standing. If you are not sure yet, that is normal, and it is not a reason to delay getting a quote.

Sinks and hobs must be on site before we template, and a Belfast sink must be installed and level. The stone is cut to the appliance that is actually there.
3 options
A standard cut-out is an aperture the hob drops into, sitting slightly proud of the stone. It is the most forgiving option, it suits almost every hob on the market, and it is what most kitchens have.
A rebated cut-out machines a recess around the aperture so the hob sits flush with the worktop surface. It looks considerably better and wipes down in one pass. It also demands more of the fabrication and of the appliance. Not every hob is designed to be installed flush, and the manufacturer decides that, not us. Send the hob model with your enquiry and we will tell you what is possible before you have committed to anything.
Either way the appliance has to be on site before we template. A hob specification taken from a website is not a template, and a hob that arrives 4mm different from its brochure is a ruined slab.

Edges, cut-outs, upstands and corners all listed separately with quantities, so you can see what each choice adds before you agree to it. Fitted 3–7 working days from template.
Not sure which edge or cut-out you want? You do not need to be. We go through it at template stage, in the kitchen, with the slab chosen.
