About Worktop Installer

Why a 3 mm gap can ruin a run

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.

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.

Questions to ask before you book

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.

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.

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.

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.

Joints, seams, and what to expect

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.

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.

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.

When a template visit saves money

A good installer will visit your kitchen before cutting stone or solid surface. They check the base units for level, measure each run and note wall straightness. This visit usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Without it, the fabricated top may not sit flat and joints can open within weeks of fitting.
