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.
Open joints after 48 hours, silicone smeared on the surface, chips near cut-outs and a rocking top on a level cabinet are red flags. Also check the underside for resin pooling and tap the centre of each cut-out lightly: a hollow sound means the corner radius is too tight for the slab.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
