Gaps between worktop and wall mean poor scribing. Uneven joints suggest rushed templating. Chipped edges on stone happen during transport and are sometimes hidden with resin. Water pooling near a sink points to a bad seal. Inspect under good light, run your finger along joints, and ask the installer to fix issues before they leave.
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.
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.
Most installers laser-measure after the base units are fixed and level. A 2 mm error across 3 metres can stop a stone slab fitting. Ask whether they template on site or work from your plan. For stone, on site templating is standard. Confirm they will check for level walls and square corners, and who pays if a slab is cut wrong.
A worktop installer measures, cuts, and fits kitchen worktops in your home. They handle stone, solid wood, or laminate surfaces, cut outs for sinks and hobs, and join pieces at corners. Most also seal joints, fix the worktop to base units, and remove the old top. Ask if fitting, removal, and disposal are all included in the quote before you book.
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.
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.
Slabs over about 3 metres long need at least 1 seam. The best installers hide the joint on a corner or above a dishwasher, never over an undermounted sink. A colour-matched resin joint should sit 0.1 to 0.3 mm proud when new and settle flat after 24 hours in a warm kitchen.
From template to fit, quartz and granite need 5 to 10 working days for cutting, polishing and edging. Solid surface can be ready in 3 to 5 days. Add 1 week if you want a pressed stainless sink or drainer grooves. Rush jobs cost more and may limit colour choice.
Quartz is dense, low-absorption and needs little sealing. Granite is hard but porous and benefits from yearly sealing. Solid surface is repairable but scratches easily. Wood looks warm but hates standing water. Pick by use, not looks: heavy cooking, kids, and rental use all push the choice in different directions.
