Quartz and granite kitchen worktops

Kitchen worktops take heat, knives, acids and water every day. Quartz and granite handle that best: neither etches, and quartz needs no sealing.

We cut worktops from your drawings, with sink and hob cut-outs, tap holes, upstands and splashbacks, and send a cut drawing for approval first.

Specifying notes

  • Standard thickness is 20 mm. 30 mm suits long unsupported runs.
  • Undermounted sinks need polished cut-outs. Tell us the sink model with your drawings.
  • Splashbacks can be cut from the same slab so the veining continues.
