About Worktop Installer
Cut-outs for sinks, hobs, and taps
Most installers cut the sink and hob openings on site or in the factory depending on the material. Stone cut outs need polished edges and reinforcement under heavy hobs. Tap holes are drilled after fitting so positioning is exact. Ask who supplies the sink and hob models, and confirm the cut out sizes match the spec sheets exactly.
Aftercare: keeping the surface in good shape
Laminate needs dry surfaces and gentle cleaners. Wood needs oil every 6 months and prompt wipe ups. Granite and marble need sealing, often yearly. Quartz needs little beyond mild soap and water. Always use a chopping board and avoid placing a hot pan directly on any surface except near a designated trivet area.
Why a 3 mm gap can ruin a run
Walls are rarely straight. Installers scribe the back edge to follow the wall, leaving a small shadow gap sealed with silicone. If the gap is wider than 5 mm, the cabinet sides need packing. Ask how the installer handles out-of-plumb walls before they cut the slab to final size.
Getting the kitchen ready on fit day
Remove the old top, disconnect the hob and sink, and empty the base units the night before. Clear a path of at least 90 cm wide from the door to the kitchen. Two fitters can carry a 2.4 m quartz slab; tight turns or stairs beyond 12 steps may need a third pair of hands.
Main worktop materials compared
Laminate worktops cost the least but scratch and swell near water. Solid wood looks warm but needs oiling every 6 months. Quartz is hard, non-porous, and resists stains well. Granite is tough but needs sealing once a year. Solid surface and Dekton are also common. Match the material to how heavily you cook and clean, not just the look.
Price: what changes the final number
Material is the biggest cost driver, followed by slab size, number of cut outs, and edge profile. A simple 3 metre laminate top costs far less than the same length in quartz. Upstands, splashbacks, sink cut outs, and disposal of the old top add to the bill. Ask for an itemised quote so each line is clear.
Questions to ask before you book
Ask how many similar worktops they have fitted in the last 12 months. Ask whether fitting and removal of the old top are included. Ask who does the templating, what happens if a slab is cut wrong, and whether they handle plumbing reconnection. Get the answers in writing along with the deposit and final payment terms.
Cut-outs, hobs and safety margins
Cut-outs for hobs and sinks are made off-site with a CNC or wet saw, not on your driveway. Each cut weakens the slab, so most makers keep 60 mm between a hob cut-out and the front edge, and 50 mm from an internal corner. Ask which corners are reinforced with a rod.
Day-to-day care that protects the top
Use a chopping board, wipe spills within 10 minutes, and clean stone with a pH-neutral spray. Avoid bleach, oven cleaner and vinegar on marble and quartz with resin. Hot pans above 180 °C can scorch solid surface; use trivets. Re-seal granite every 12 months with a water-based sealer.
Typical timeline from order to fitting
Laminate can often be fitted within 1 week of measuring. Solid wood takes 2 to 3 weeks including acclimatisation. Quartz and granite need templating, then factory cutting, then fitting, usually 2 to 4 weeks total. Allow extra time if you also need plumbing or appliance changes. Ask for each stage in writing with a target date.
