How a stone worktop is fitted
The units go in first. Then a template is made, the stone is cut off site, and it's fitted a week or two later. You're without a worktop in between unless a temporary one goes on. The sink and hob cut-outs, upstands and drainer grooves are often priced separately, so ask.
Which to choose
- Laminate for a tight budget or a rental. Modern ones look far better than they used to.
- Oak for warmth, if you'll oil it.
- Quartz for a hard, non-porous top that needs nothing. The usual choice in a new kitchen.
- Granite for natural stone. Sealed now and then.
