Clear all items from base units and the surrounding floor. The installer needs at least 60 cm of clear workspace and a safe power socket. If walls are tiled, remove old splashbacks first unless the quote includes that. Confirm the route from the door to the kitchen can take a heavy slab without damage to floors or door frames.
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.
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.
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.
Stone joints are filled with colour matched resin and are usually 2 to 3 mm wide. A good joint is smooth, tight, and hard to see at standing height. Laminate joints use a worktop connector strip and are more visible. Ask how many joints your layout needs, since long spans over 3 metres usually require at least one seam.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
