Quartz is an engineered stone — crushed natural quartz bound with resin — giving a non-porous, low-maintenance surface with very consistent colour and pattern. Granite is a completely natural stone, so every slab is unique, with excellent heat resistance and natural character.
Marble is softer and more porous than quartz or granite, so it can mark more easily and benefits from regular sealing. Many homeowners still choose it for its timeless look — we’re happy to talk through the trade-offs for your kitchen.
Porcelain is an ultra-compact surface fired at very high temperatures, giving it excellent scratch, stain, heat and UV resistance in a slim, contemporary profile — a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor kitchens.

It’s worth getting in touch as early as possible once your kitchen design is confirmed, so we can plan templating around your build schedule.
Templating is where we take precise on-site measurements of your kitchen once the base units are in place, so your worktop is cut to fit exactly — including sink, hob and appliance cut-outs.
No — our worktop replacement service includes careful removal of your existing worktop as part of the job.
Yes, we cut out and fit around your chosen sink and hob as part of the installation, working from the specification you provide.
For quartz and porcelain, a simple wipe with warm water and mild soap is usually all that’s needed. Granite and marble benefit from a proper stone cleaner and, occasionally, resealing — we’ll advise on care specific to your material.
Granite and porcelain are both very heat resistant, but we’d still recommend a trivet or pan stand for any material — it’s the safest way to protect the surface and your pans.
