With a managing agent involved, arranging access usually takes longer than the work. We book to what can actually be confirmed. Priced from the slab and the cut list, both itemised.

Short runs mean the machining outweighs the metreage. Worth comparing against engineered stone before committing on a room this size. The stone decides part of this, and we will show you which part.
Our granite runs from £148 to £250 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 45 colours in the range. On kitchens this size the cut-outs and the joins cost more than the area does, so a rate per square metre would tell you almost nothing useful. We price the actual cut list.

Questions
Granite in Hackney
Which worktop needs least maintenance in a rented property in Hackney?
The engineered and sintered surfaces, because neither needs sealing. Granite is porous to varying degrees and is sealed on installation, which then wants topping up over time — fine in an owner-occupied home, less realistic where nobody has been told to do it.
Is granite worth it on a small kitchen in Hackney?
Often, but not for the reason people expect. On a compact run the cut-outs and joins cost more than the surface area does, so the material rate matters less than the cut list. We price the actual list so the comparison is real.
Do you cover the whole of Hackney?
Yes — 20 neighbourhoods across 9 postcode districts, Dalston, De Beauvoir Town, Hackney Central and Hackney Downs 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.
