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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
