A let wants a surface that survives being ignored. Quartz is non-porous and stays that way without anyone topping anything up. Templated in your kitchen, fabricated to that survey, fitted by our own team.

Communal stairs limit how far a piece can be stood on end, and that is a measurement rather than an assumption. We take it before quoting. It is a question for the template, and the template answers it in the room.
Our quartz runs from £150 to £280 per square metre for most of the catalogue, with 71 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
Quartz in Islington
Which worktop needs least maintenance in a rented property in Islington?
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.
Can you fit quartz worktops in a flat in Islington?
Yes, and it is most of what we do here. The constraint is the route rather than the room: we measure the stairwell, the lift and the turns at survey, and size the pieces to what will physically go up. Where a full-length piece will not make the turn, the join is planned into the design rather than improvised on the day.
Do you cover the whole of Islington?
Yes — 19 neighbourhoods across 10 postcode districts, Angel, Archway, Arsenal and Barnsbury 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.
