Drainer grooves, tap holes and socket cut-outs multiply in a large kitchen, and every one is cut into stone that has already been paid for. The count is what moves the number. Sealed on the day it is fitted, and we tell you when it is due again.
Lived in by their owners62.4%
A stone chosen to be lived with should be chosen in person. We would rather delay a week than cut from a photograph. 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 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 Richmond upon Thames
How is an island priced in granite?
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.
Can we see a sample before ordering granite?
Not by post. We can only send offcuts of the quartz range, so granite is chosen from the range and confirmed before anything is cut. If holding the material first matters to you, the quartz samples are free and there is nothing to visit either way.
Do you cover the whole of Richmond upon Thames?
Yes — 20 neighbourhoods across 9 postcode districts, Barnes, Castelnau, East Sheen and Eel Pie Island 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.
