Stone worktops are made to measure, so there is a short process between choosing your stone and having it fitted. Here is exactly what happens, and how long it takes.
1. Quote and deposit
You get a fixed, itemised quote within 24 hours. When you are happy, a 30% deposit books you in, and the balance is due on completion.
2. Templating (within 3 working days)
We visit to digitally template your kitchen, measuring every run, corner, sink and hob position precisely. Your base units need to be fitted, level and fixed before templating, and it helps to have your sink and hob on site so we can template their exact cut-outs.
This is also when we confirm details such as overhangs, edge finish, splashback heights and where any joins will sit.
3. Slab approval
You are welcome to view and approve your actual slab at our Wembley workshop. If you cannot make it, we will send photos and video before anything is cut.
4. Fabrication in Wembley
Your worktops are cut, edged, polished and checked in our own workshop. Nothing is outsourced, so the same team that templated your kitchen makes and fits it.
Getting your kitchen ready
- Base units fitted, level and fixed to the wall
- Sink, hob and tap on site, with their model details if possible
- Any appliances that sit under the worktop in position or measured
- A clear route from the front door to the kitchen for the stone
- Someone at home who can confirm details on the day
Joins and overhangs
Large kitchens sometimes need a join between slabs. We plan joins at templating so they sit in the least visible places, often at a sink or hob, and colour-match the bonding so they are very hard to spot. We also confirm overhangs for breakfast bars and any supports they need.
After fitting
Your worktops can be used straight away. We will talk you through care, and our fabrication and installation is guaranteed for 15 years. See our guide to caring for quartz.
Why it is fast
Many companies take three to four weeks from templating to fitting. Because we cut everything in our own Wembley workshop and fit with our own team, we can usually fit within 5 to 10 working days of templating.
5. Fitting day (5 to 10 working days after templating)
Our team delivers and fits your worktops, bonds and seals the joins, fits upstands and splashbacks and leaves the kitchen clean. Most kitchens are fitted in a day. The price is fixed once your template is signed off, so there are no extras on the day.
In short
- Quote in 24 hours, 30% deposit to book.
- Templating within 3 working days, with units fitted and level.
- Fitted 5 to 10 working days after templating, usually in one day.
