About Worktop Installer
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What a worktop installer actually does
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.
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.
Aftercare: keeping the surface in good shape
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.
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.
