Bigger rooms run to islands, and an island is a slab-yield question before it is a design one. Quartz slabs are a known size, so we can tell you early whether the island costs one slab or two. Nothing to seal on the day, and nothing to seal later.

These houses were built in long runs by the same builder, so the shell repeats. What has been done inside them since does not. The cut list carries it; the specification does not change.
Our quartz runs from £150 to £280 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 71 colours in the range. On rooms this size the number is set by slab yield: how many pieces come out of a slab, and whether an island needs a second one. Square metreage is the last thing we work out, not the first.

Questions
Quartz in Barnet
How is an island priced in quartz?
By yield, not by area. The question is how the pieces nest into a slab and whether the island needs a second one, and we can usually answer it at survey. A rate per square metre would not tell you which side of that line you fall.
We have a nineteen-thirties semi in Barnet. What should we expect?
Usually a galley and a rear addition, which take standard-length runs with few joins. The variable is what has already been done to the back of the house: an extension or a knocked-through wall changes the run and is worth mentioning when you enquire.
Do you cover the whole of Barnet?
Yes — 31 neighbourhoods across 14 postcode districts, Arkley, Brent Cross, Brunswick Park and Burnt Oak among them. There is nothing to visit: the template is taken in your kitchen and the stone is fitted there by the same team.

The housing does not change, so most of what is on this page still applies. What changes is weight, machining and maintenance.
