  • Q. Do you sell off-cuts?
    A. Yes, we have various colours from various materials available and in stock at competitive prices.
  • Q. Can I choose my slab of Granite?
    A. Our Stone Suppliers allow our customers to visit them and choose from their extensive stocks. You can reserve slabs, and our suppliers will deliver them directly to us so we can work and make your tops.
  • Q. Do you supply both trade and retail?
    A. Yes, we do.
  • Q. Do you template and fit?
    A. Yes, we template it in a material called Corex and then use this template to make an exact copy of your chosen material.
  • Q What are your terms of business?
    A. We require a 50% deposit on templates and the balance upon completion.
  • Q. How long will the process take?
    A. Most Kitchens have a turnaround time of 8 working days from template to fit. Huge jobs or those with fancy moulded edges may take a few more days.
  • Q. Can granite be repaired?
    A. Granite is difficult to repair and very difficult to damage permanently. However, granite can often be repaired with resin and granite chips if stone damage occurs.
  • Q Do you have samples we can take away?
    A. Yes, please come and visit us at our showroom. We have many different samples, and we are happy you will take them away.
  • Q. Is it true that Corian can scratch?
    A. Yes, but this is never a problem as the surface is renewable, and we provide a surface to make your Corian tops look brand new.
  • Q. Can we apply heat directly onto our kitchen worktops?
    A. No. Our work surfaces should be protected using a heat mat or a trivet.
