About Worktop Installer
Paperwork to keep on file
Ask for a written quote, a fitting drawing with dimensions, the material batch number and a warranty that covers joints and cut-outs for at least 2 years. Public liability cover of £1 million is standard. Keep the invoice: most stone warranties are void without proof of professional installation.
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.
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.
Choosing the right material for your use
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.
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.
Preparing your kitchen before fitting day
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
