GRANITE
From £184 /m²
Made to order · cut to your kitchen, fitted 5–10 working days from template
Supply only: the slab itself. Fabrication, edge profile, cut-outs, delivery and installation are quoted on top and itemised, so nothing appears at the end that you did not agree at the start.
Is it right for you
The supply rate for Delicatus Gold is £184 per square metre, putting it 25th of 45 among the granite we stock. The median granite here is £177, so Delicatus Gold sits £7 above the middle of its own range. The next step down in granite is Magnific White at £183, and the next up is Black Beauty Sensa at £200.
Warmer quarried stones are often the more open ones, so the sealer matters here more than on a dense black. Oil is the thing to watch, because it marks slowly and is noticed after it has soaked in.
Put against its own material, Delicatus Gold clears the cheapest granite by £63 and stops £366 short of the dearest. Nothing else we fit is priced at exactly this rate, so comparing it is a matter of material rather than of matching a number. Delicatus Gold is 6th by price among the 7 gold surfaces in this material.
6 other granite surfaces share its gold tone, Prada Gold at £136, Juparana Colombo at £128 and Cristalo Sensa at £550 among them. The nearest thing to it in another material is Snow White at £180, a quartz, and the choice between them is about behaviour rather than budget.
Lead times lengthen here. Fewer slabs of a given stone come through, and if the one you want is not on the floor the honest answer is that the fitting date moves rather than the stone being substituted.
The photograph above is indicative. Screens shift colour, and granite varies slab to slab, so your piece will not be identical to this image. We hold offcuts of the Worktop Worx quartz collection only, so we cannot post you a piece of this one. It is ordered in by the slab, and the slab is what you would be shown before anything is cut.

If you choose it
Send the sizes, a plan or a few photographs. A person prices it and itemises every piece, cut-out and edge.
Two to three hours for a typical kitchen. We digitally template every run, record wall run-out, unit heights and appliance positions, agree with you where the joins will fall and where the tap holes and drainer grooves go, and confirm the edge profile.
Delicatus Gold is cut to that template and fitted 5 to 10 working days from template, with a 5-year workmanship guarantee.
Before you commit
The survey and the written quote cost nothing and carry no deposit. A deposit is taken when you accept and book the template, and the balance is due before installation. Every cut-out, edge and join is priced on its own line.
Up to the template visit you can cancel and we refund the deposit less anything already spent reserving material. After it, the stone is cut to your kitchen and cannot be put back, which is why we template rather than work from your measurements. Read the terms
If someone else has to agree, the quote is itemised so it can be read line by line by whoever is checking it, and we can arrange to show you the actual slab before it is cut. What the guarantees cover
Every one of these is on our Google profile under the reviewer’s own name. Nothing here is written by us, and the link goes straight to the source.

Worth comparing two or three before you settle, because the same room can take a much darker or much busier surface than a photograph suggests.
Worth reading
Granite
Granite is quarried natural stone: every slab is different, heat off the hob is a non-issue, and it needs sealing periodically.
Most of what we fit is 20mm or 30mm. Where you want a chunkier look, we mitre the edge (a 20mm slab folded down to give a 40mm or 60mm apron), which reads as solid stone without the weight or cost of a genuinely thick slab.
Quarried stone shrugs off heat from the hob.
Veining and movement are the point of it.
Porosity varies by stone, which is why it is sealed.
Sealed when fitted, topped up over the years.
Granite samples cannot be posted, so we talk you through the slab.
Next step
Send plans or photos with rough measurements and we will come back with a real number rather than a range that moves later. Free samples are available on the Worktop Worx quartz collection, though not on this one.
