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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Laminate can often be fitted within 1 week of measuring. Solid wood takes 2 to 3 weeks including acclimatisation. Quartz and granite need templating, then factory cutting, then fitting, usually 2 to 4 weeks total. Allow extra time if you also need plumbing or appliance changes. Ask for each stage in writing with a target date.
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.
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.
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.
