Quartz & Granite Worktops in St Albans

A lot of St Albans houses are Victorian or Edwardian, with tall ceilings, original fireplaces and kitchens that have been extended into the garden. Then there are the newer family homes on the edges of the city. We make worktops for both.

• Period kitchens: 30mm granite or marble-look quartz with a classic edge that suits the age of the house.
• Kitchen extensions: long runs and big islands, often finished with a waterfall end or a mitred edge.
• Modern kitchens: plain or concrete-look quartz with a slim square edge.

In an older house there's often more than one spot where natural stone looks right. Alongside kitchen worktops, we make marble fireplace surrounds and hearths, window sills and bathroom vanity tops. We do bath surrounds and shower niches too. If the pieces come from the same slab, the stone will match from one room to the next.

People choose quartz worktops in St Albans for period houses and newer family homes alike. In a Victorian kitchen, a 30mm worktop with a classic edge sits nicely. A slim 20mm quartz in white or concrete is better suited to a modern extension. Either way, quartz doesn't need sealing and it resists stains, so it'll keep looking good in a busy kitchen.

In a period kitchen, granite worktops in St Albans homes add plenty of character, and granite copes well with the heat around a range cooker. Marble goes naturally with original fireplaces. It's a good fit for islands and baking areas, though it does need a bit more looking after.

2. Templating at your home once the units are fitted.
3. Cutting and polishing at our NW10 workshop.
4. Fitting by our own fully insured team.

Our estimated time for fitting all projects is 7 working days, unless otherwise stated.

Older houses are hardly ever perfectly square. That's why we template every kitchen in person once the base units are fitted, instead of working from drawings alone. Where walls are uneven, we scribe the worktops to follow them so you get a neat finish.

Restoring a period property? Give some thought to edges. A softly rounded or bevelled edge usually looks better in a traditional kitchen than a sharp square one. On a modern island, a mitred edge makes the stone look thicker and more solid.
