Kitchen Worktops London – Supply & Installation

Yes, your installer can fit a splashback after the worktops. The team usually checks final measurements once the worktops sit in their finished position.

However, plan the splashback earlier in the project. First, choose the material and panel height. Then discuss joints, socket cut-outs and edge details with your installer.

For an area behind a hob, check the appliance clearances and the surface maker’s guidance. Also ask when you need to prepare the wall.

Contact our team to plan your worktop and splashback installation. We can help you coordinate the stages before you book other finishing work.

Yes, using the same material for your worktop and splashback can create a coordinated kitchen design. Quartz, granite and other suitable surfaces can be considered, depending on the product and where the splashback will be installed.

Ask about slab sizes, pattern direction and joints before fabrication. Using the same product does not automatically mean a continuous vein pattern, so agree the layout with the team if that detail matters to you.

Also check suitability behind a hob, appliance clearances and care requirements for the exact material. Compare our surface collections or share your kitchen plan to discuss matching worktops and wall panels.

Yes, we provide custom kitchen worktops made to suit your layout and chosen material. Our team can discuss dimensions, thickness, edge profiles and sink or hob cut-outs before fabrication.

First, compare our surface materials and decide which colours and finishes you prefer. Then share your kitchen plan, including any island, splashback or upstand requirements.

Design options depend on the material, slab size and support needed. We will discuss practical details such as joints and access as part of planning. Request a bespoke worktop quote and confirm the final specification before your worktop is made.

Yes, we offer a service to remove and dispose of your old kitchen worktop at an additional cost. Please ask for this to be included in your quote before arranging your replacement.

The work involved depends on the existing surface, kitchen layout and access. Tell us the material, approximate dimensions and whether you want to keep your current cabinets, sink or hob.

Also confirm who will disconnect and reconnect plumbing or appliances, and when that work needs to happen. Contact our team to discuss removal and fitting, so the scope, cost and preparation are agreed before the visit.

Yes, we can discuss kitchen worktop installation services outside of London. Availability depends on your location and project requirements, so please confirm coverage with our team before ordering.

We help with projects across London and nearby areas, including Surrey, Essex, Kent and Hertfordshire. For other UK locations, send us your postcode and kitchen plan so we can confirm supply, delivery and fitting options.

Include your preferred surface, approximate dimensions and any access restrictions. This helps us assess the work involved and prepare a quote. Confirm travel costs, what is included and the proposed schedule before booking other trades.

To choose the right material for your kitchen worktop, compare your budget, the look you want and how you use your kitchen. Think about cooking habits, cleaning and the care you are willing to provide.

Start by exploring our worktop materials. Compare samples beside your cabinets and flooring, in both daylight and artificial light. Ask about heat, stains, scratches and any sealing requirements for the specific product.

Also consider thickness, slab size, joints and sink or hob cut-outs. These affect the design and quote. Share your plan with our team for help comparing suitable surfaces and confirming the full project cost.

How long your new kitchen worktop will last depends on the material, installation and everyday care. Many surfaces can serve a kitchen for years, but there is no single lifespan that applies to every product.

Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions. Use chopping boards and pan stands, clean spills promptly and choose cleaning products suitable for the surface. Ask whether your chosen stone needs sealing and how to maintain it.

Before ordering, compare the available materials and check the warranty terms for the exact product. Our team can help you discuss care requirements and choose a surface that suits your kitchen and routine.

A 20mm or 30mm worktop can suit your kitchen, depending on the material, layout and finish you want. Neither thickness is automatically the better choice for every project.

20mm or 30mm worktop: compare the look

A 20mm edge gives a slimmer appearance. A 30mm edge looks deeper and more substantial. Compare samples alongside your cabinet doors, handles and splashback before deciding.

Check practical requirements

Availability varies by product. Also discuss cabinet support, overhangs, joints and sink or hob cut-outs with your installer. Thickness alone does not tell you how well a surface will perform.

Explore our surface materials or send us your kitchen plan to discuss the thicknesses and fitting requirements available for your chosen product.

Is a quartz worktop better than granite? There is no single best choice for every kitchen. Quartz offers an engineered surface with a broad range of designs, while granite brings the natural variation of stone.

Choosing a quartz worktop or granite surface

Quartz can suit a kitchen where you want a more consistent pattern. Granite varies between slabs, so viewing the actual stone helps you understand the finished appearance.

Care requirements also differ. Quartz generally does not need sealing. Granite may need sealing depending on the stone and finish, so follow the supplier’s guidance for the exact product. Both surfaces still need appropriate cleaning and protection during daily use.

Compare our quartz surfaces with our granite collection. Then ask our team about samples and fitting costs before choosing.

The materials available for kitchen worktops include engineered surfaces and natural stones. Each has different colours, finishes and care requirements. Start by comparing the options below.

A kitchen splashback covers the wall behind a worktop, sink or cooking area. It helps protect the wall from splashes and makes the area easier to clean. It also adds colour, pattern or texture to the kitchen.

Materials include glass, tiles, stainless steel and suitable stone or engineered surfaces. The right choice depends on the location, the look you want and the care required.

For an area behind a hob, check the appliance clearances and the chosen product’s heat requirements with your installer. A splashback is not automatically suitable for every cooking area.

Explore our surface materials and ask our team about your splashback design before choosing.

The best thickness for a kitchen worktop depends on the material, cabinet support and the look you want. For many quartz and granite surfaces, 20mm and 30mm are common options. Ask our team which thicknesses are available for your chosen product before you order.

Choosing between 20mm and 30mm

A 20mm surface gives a slim, contemporary appearance. A 30mm surface has a deeper edge and can suit a more substantial kitchen design. However, thickness alone does not determine durability: the material, fabrication, support and installation all matter.

Before choosing, discuss sink and hob cut-outs, joints, overhangs and any island seating with your installer. These details can affect the support required. Also check the finished worktop height alongside your cabinet and appliance dimensions.

Choose a thickness for your material and layout

Thickness options vary across our worktop materials. A specification suitable for granite may not suit porcelain or another surface. Follow the chosen product’s fabrication and installation requirements rather than assuming that a thicker slab is always the better choice.

To compare options for your kitchen, send us your kitchen plan and preferred material. We can help you discuss the available thicknesses, edge appearance and fitting requirements before you make a decision.

The best worktop height is the finished height that suits the people using your kitchen and works with the cabinets and appliances. There is no single measurement that is comfortable for everyone.

Before ordering, try the proposed height for everyday tasks such as preparing food and washing up. Consider whether the kitchen needs to support seated use or other access requirements.

Check the cabinet height, plinth and worktop thickness together. Also confirm appliance clearances and the sink and hob details with your kitchen designer or installer.

Discuss your kitchen plan with our team before templating. Agree the finished height and support requirements as part of the overall design, rather than choosing the surface thickness in isolation.

The easiest countertop replacement depends on your existing kitchen, but laminate is often simpler to handle because it is lighter than stone. Ease of fitting is only one part of choosing a replacement.

First, check the condition and level of your cabinets. Then consider sink and hob cut-outs, joints and access for delivery. Reusing a layout may reduce changes, but measurements still need to be checked.

Stone surfaces need suitable fabrication, support and professional installation. Compare our worktop materials to find the finish and care requirements you prefer.

Send us details of your existing kitchen so we can discuss a replacement, removal work and fitting requirements.

The easiest worktop to fit depends on the material and kitchen layout. Lightweight surfaces such as laminate are generally easier to handle than stone, but every installation needs accurate measurements and suitable preparation.

At My Kitchen Worktop, we specialise in stone and engineered surfaces, including quartz, granite and marble. These need appropriate tools, cabinet support and professional fabrication and fitting.

Do not assume quartz will be easier to fit than every natural stone. Slab size, cut-outs, edges, joints and access all affect the work involved. Compare our materials and choose a surface for its overall suitability.

Share your plan with our team to discuss preparation, delivery and fitting for your chosen product.

Common materials for splashbacks include glass, tiles, stainless steel and suitable stone or engineered surfaces. Each offers a different look and different cleaning and installation requirements.

First, consider where the splashback will sit. A surface behind a sink has different demands from one behind a hob. Check the product’s suitability and the appliance maker’s clearances before ordering.

Next, compare colours and finishes alongside your worktop and cabinet samples. Also think about joints, sockets, cleaning and the height of the finished panel.

Browse our surface materials or send us your kitchen plan to discuss suitable options for your splashback.

We offer materials for kitchen worktops including quartz, granite, marble, quartzite, porcelain, Dekton and Neolith. We also offer other stone and surface options. Availability, colours, finishes and thicknesses vary by product.

Choosing a laminate or quartz worktop depends on your budget, design and daily use. Laminate is often a lower-cost, lighter option, while quartz offers an engineered stone surface with a wide choice of colours and patterns.

Laminate or quartz worktop: cost and care

Look at the full fitted cost, including cut-outs, edges and any removal work. Quartz is heavy and needs suitable fabrication, support and installation. Laminate has different fitting and care requirements, particularly around joints and water exposure.

Neither option is damage-proof. Follow the product’s care guidance and use chopping boards and pan stands rather than relying on general claims about resistance.

Explore our quartz collection or ask our team about a quote to compare the specification with your budget.
