Original proportions and a modern galley rarely line up. On granite the mismatch is absorbed by the template and the slab selection together. You see the slab before it is cut.

Floors in houses this age move, so the units are levelled properly before templating. Granite will not forgive a base that settles afterwards. Which is a slab decision, and it is made with you.
Our granite runs from £148 to £250 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 45 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
Granite in Camden
Our flat is a converted house — does that change the granite worktop?
It changes the piece list more than the material. Conversions give you stairs that turn and rooms that are rarely square, so we template after the units are fixed and plan any join around the carry. The specification stays the same; how it arrives does not.
Will granite sit properly against the old walls in a Camden kitchen?
Yes, provided it is templated and not estimated. Walls this age are rarely straight, so the wall line is cut from a physical template taken after the units are fixed and level. That is why we do not quote a worktop from a floor plan.
Do you cover the whole of Camden?
Yes — 23 neighbourhoods across 15 postcode districts, Belsize Park, Bloomsbury, Camden Town and Chalk Farm 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.
