Ordering Kitchen Worktops
Ordering a kitchen worktop involves several steps to ensure you get the right material, size, and specifications that fit your needs. Here’s a comprehensive guide:
Select the Material
Consider the pros and cons of different materials like granite, marble, quartzite, manmade stone and porcelain based on durability, maintenance, aesthetics, and budget.
Request Samples and Quotes
Request samples on our website of the chosen materials to assess colours, patterns, and textures for your worktop.
Send us a plan of your kitchen to obtain a quote that include the cost of materials, fabrication, delivery, and installation.
Measurements and Templating
We can either work from DWG’s and technical drawings or we will send a skilled template to your property who will undertake a digital survey. We measure your kitchen accurately, including lengths, depths, and any special cuts needed for sinks, cooktops, or other fixtures.
Decide on the design, edge profiles, and surface finishes that suit your style and functional requirements.
Confirm Details
Confirm the selected material, colour, thickness, edge profiles, and any special requirements with the supplier to avoid discrepancies.
Place the Order
Place your order with us, ensuring all details are accurately documented, including measurements, specifications, and any customisation. We will require a 50% deposit to book the material and manufacturing slot.
Schedule Templating and Installation
Arrange for a templating appointment where professionals take precise measurements to ensure the worktop fits perfectly.
Schedule the installation date, considering lead times for fabrication and delivery. Discuss any specific requirements or considerations for installation. Our normal lead time is 10 days from template to installation.
Prepare the Space
Clear the kitchen area where the worktop will be installed, removing any items from countertops, and ensuring access for installation.
Installation Day
Prior to installation we require the final 50% payment to be cleared.
On the installation day itself, please ensure someone responsible is available to oversee the process and address any questions or concerns from the installation team. You will need to have the hob and sink on site at the time of installation.
After installation, inspect the worktop thoroughly to ensure it meets your expectations in terms of fit, finish, and quality.
Care and Maintenance
Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for care and maintenance to ensure the longevity of the worktop. This may include regular cleaning, using recommended products, and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasives.
By following these steps, we can ensure a smooth and successful ordering experience for your kitchen worktop.
