Kitchen Worktops cut to size

Options
Are there any online companies that will supply worktops with the sink cut out and the T joins already mitred?


I can fit the units but I would need the worktops ready cut.
over 73 but not over the hill.

    When ordering our kitchen I asked at IKEA the same question - they can cut out sections for sink and hob but couldn't do anything with the corners/joins.

    In the end I got a joiner out to cut 4 sections, join 2 of them and cut out for sink and hob - he did a fantastic job for £150.

    As chib says you're better off getting someone in to do the cutting, as far as I'm aware you won't get somewhere to supply worktops ready mitred, reason being that if your corners in the room aren't square ( which they most likely aren't) then a worktop joint cut to suit 90 degrees will look terrible once fitted.

    There are a number of companies that supply pre cut and pre mitred (complete with bolt recesses) worktops. However, its unusual to het them to do hob/sink cutouts. This is normally done once the tops are in and you can get the holes cut exactly as you require.

    I use a company called Patetsons Worktops in Southend.

    There are plenty of companies whete you can buy worktops and have them premitred. You always need a 90degree mitre. If the walls are out, then you trim the back down slightly.

    Yes lots of places will do it. Where are you based?

    I have used The Worktop Centre in Liverpool 3 times for laminates including pre-cut and butt and scribed joints and been very impressed with their service. Not sure whether they serve a wider area.

    For solid wood, worktop express offer a full fabrication service and will work off your plans. I found their fabrication was excellent. They serve the whole of the UK:
