worktop

Hi My Ikea kitchen will be completed soon but still no worktop ordered nor tiles. I may go for granite.
Can anyone recommend a company which does granite worktops with undermounted sinks at a price cheaper than B&Q and other shops/online businesses? I thought it might be cheaper to buy direct from mines in the UK or a company linked directly to a mine to cut out middle dealers. I live in Glasgow.
Any ideas about reasonably priced pretty Spanish-type mosaic wall tiles? Thanks.

  • Hi From a kitchen fitter. I can't recomend a supplier local to you but its often worth contacting your local monumental masons. they use granite for headstones but many are very competitive for kitchen worktops.

    Hi All,

    Just had my worktops done last weekend in granite from polarstone.
    I live in guildford in surrey and they came from london but i think the chap said they deliver everywhere.
    There also connected to a quarry! I got some tiles for outside done from them at the same time in a lovely grey colour similar to cormwall but alot lighter and visible - Both together i got a really great deal paid 1400 for all and had 3m2 worktop, 1m2 splashback, a granite pizza tray, and 6m2 of outside flooring delivered and installed.

    Good luck
