Estate kitchens were drawn around a smaller appliance set than anyone uses now, so the modern layout usually needs more cut-outs than the original did. You see the slab before it is cut.

Ground-floor kitchens with garden access mean nothing gets carried up stairs, which on this material is the difference that counts. Better weighed while the slabs are still in front of you.
Our granite runs from £148 to £250 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 45 colours in the range. What moves the number is the cut list — joins, cut-outs and how the pieces nest into a slab — rather than the floor area of the room.

Questions
Granite in Hillingdon
Do you work on estate kitchens in Hillingdon?
Regularly. The plans repeat, so we usually know the shape before we arrive, but we still measure every room — identical kitchens stop being identical the first time someone moves a wall. Compact runs are cut-out heavy, and that is what drives the price more than the area.
Do you need rear access to fit granite in a house in Hillingdon?
It helps and it is usually available here. A side gate or a through route lets us bring full-length pieces in whole, which means fewer joins. Where the only way in is through the front, we say so at survey and size the pieces to the hallway.
Do you cover the whole of Hillingdon?
Yes — 22 neighbourhoods across 9 postcode districts, Charville, Cowley, Eastcote and Harefield 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.
