About Worktop Installer
Lead times you should plan around
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.
What a worktop installer actually does
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.
Common problems and how to spot them
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.
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.
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.
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.
Joints: where they go and how they look
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.
Measuring: why precision matters
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.
Guarantees, insurance, and paperwork
Ask for a written guarantee on both the material and the workmanship. Stone suppliers often give 10 to 15 year warranties, while installer fit guarantees commonly run 1 to 2 years. Confirm public liability insurance in case of damage during fitting. Keep the invoice, measurements, and material batch number for any future claim.
What really changes the final quote
Price varies with material thickness, edge profile, number of cut-outs, splashback height and access to your kitchen. A first-floor flat with no lift adds labour. A good quote lists each line. If a quote only shows a single number per square metre, ask for the breakdown before paying a deposit.
