Kitchen worktop options

  • We are paying £4k for quartz.. The worktop length is about 3.5m but we are also doing the splash back all the way through along with a 900X1800 island. Cost includes templating and 30mm quartz and they come with a 10 year warranty. 
    Your splashback won't be 30mm though, will it?
    Actually good point. Il ring them tomorrow to reduce that as I didn’t think of this! So hopefully cost will come down further.

    I have always gone for duropal laminate worktop, this time we are splashing out on Dekton Zenith.  2 slabs ~ 8m2 including island, 4 standard sections of worktop, 3 sinks, 2 hob cuts comes just over £5K inc vat and fitting.   
    Just don’t go for a wooden worktop, they are so impractical / too easily damaged by water.
