We supply and fit hand-finished made-to-measure granite kitchen worktops in Wiltshire and Berkshire, in and around Andover, Basingstoke, Salisbury, Swindon, Newbury, and Hungerford.
Practical and attractive granite is the top choice for kitchen counters. This hard, natural stone complements any kitchen décor style, from traditional to contemporary, giving the look of luxury to your worktops, central island, breakfast bar or even upstand splashbacks.
Geologically quarried granite slabs are made up of mica, quartz and feldspar, formed out of molten magma below the earth’s surface. It comes in a host of colours from black to pale pink, each worktop slab veined and speckled with a unique crystalline pattern and texture.
Apart from its good looks, granite – sealed to protect it from absorbing liquids – is the ideal material to be fabricated for kitchen worktops for a number of reasons:
It’s worth investing in granite kitchen worktops, which will give you a lifetime of wear. We offer free no-obligation quotations and advice for granite worktop installation in your kitchen.
A popular alternative to granite for kitchen worktops is engineered stone – also known as quartz composite – which is man-made but indistinguishable from natural stone if it is sourced from a quality manufacturer.
Quartz kitchen worktops have the strength, durability and versatility of granite, but come in an almost endless array of colours and patterns.
The engineered quartz is made by mixing ground igneous rock with synthetic resins, polymers and colourants under high heat and high pressure. To add a touch of crystalline sparkle, glass chips, mica or metallic flecks can be added.
The result is an attractive kitchen worktop that is non-porous, sanitary, scratch and stain resistant – ideal for a busy kitchen worksurface.
We supply and install a wide range of engineered quartz kitchen worktops within a wide radius of our base in Hungerford, Berkshire. We are suppliers for four of the UK’s top manufacturers of quartz worktops – Caesarstone, Silestone, Unistone and BQS (Beltrami Quartz Surfaces).
We can have your quartz kitchen worktops made to order so they fit perfectly on your counters, breakfast bar or kitchen island, eliminating the need for multiple joins and providing a uniform, smooth and sleek finish for your kitchen. The engineered quartz can be shaped to provide an inset sink with integrated drainer grooves.
We are able to fit granite or quartz kitchen worktops in your existing kitchen to replace the old counter-tops, as long as the supporting cabinetry is strong enough to hold the weight of the stone worktops.
If you are having a new kitchen installed we can work with the cabinet supplier and fit in with their timescales so as to provide you with our hand-crafted, professional worktops directly from the manufacturer, prepared in our workshop in Hungerford to fit your kitchen design. We can finish your new kitchen worktops with any type of classic countertop edging:
