What Your Worktop Quote Actually Covers, From Material to Fit
- A free in-home consultation and measuring visit, with material samples brought to you
- Expert guidance on choosing between granite, marble, quartz, Dekton, Minerva or solid-surface materials for your budget and how you actually use your kitchen
- Precision templating of your base units before any stone is cut, so the fit is right first time
- In-house fabrication, including cut-outs for sinks, taps, hobs, drainage grooves and any radius corners
- Your choice of edge profile -- square, bullnose, ogee, bevel or pencil round -- at no extra design step
- Matching upstands and splashbacks cut from the same slab for a continuous finish
- A check and adjustment of base cabinet levels before the stone goes in
- Full protective sheeting of floors, existing surfaces and appliances while the work is underway
- Delivery, lifting and on-site fitting carried out by the same technicians who templated the job
- A final inspection with you present, followed by a full clean-up of dust and packaging before we leave
Not Included / Costed Separately
- Full kitchen cabinetry, respraying or general joinery -- these sit under our wider kitchen fitting service, not the worktop-only job
- Ongoing resealing of natural stone after handover -- we recommend resealing granite and marble annually, and this becomes your responsibility once the 2-year product guarantee period has passed
- Fitting itself, if you choose our supply-only option -- worktops can be supplied to your own builder or for DIY installation without our team on site
- Reinforcing cabinets to carry extra weight for very heavy stone -- this is priced separately once we've seen the units in person
How Our Worktop Materials Compare
| Material | Heat & Scratch Resistance | Staining Risk | Sealing | Where It Tends to Suit Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quartz | High -- resists both well | Very low, non-porous | None needed | Busy family kitchens wanting a low-maintenance, consistent finish |
| Granite | High, natural stone | Low once sealed | Needs periodic resealing | Homeowners wanting a unique, one-of-a-kind natural pattern |
| Marble | Good heat resistance, softer than granite | Higher -- porous, can etch from acidic spills | Needs regular resealing | Statement kitchens where look matters more than everyday practicality |
| Dekton | Very high -- built for heat, scratches and UV | Very low, non-porous | None needed | Kitchens with a lot of direct sun or heavy daily use |
| Solid surface (Corian) | Moderate -- can mark from direct heat, so trivets are recommended | Very low, non-porous, resists stains and bacteria | None needed | Seamless, joint-free runs and integrated sinks |
Real Stone Choice, Priced Honestly From the Start
Worktops range hugely in price, from solid-surface options to book-matched marble, and the right material for you usually comes down to budget and how the kitchen actually gets used day to day, not which slab carries the biggest mark-up. Nottingham Kitchen Fitter brings physical samples of granite, quartz, marble, Dekton, Minerva and solid surface to your home so you can hold them against your own units and get a written price before committing to anything -- worktop and kitchen projects typically start from around £5,000, with flexible finance available through an FCA-regulated partner, subject to status. This is a family-run business rather than a national fitting chain, trading across Nottingham and the wider East Midlands for over 20 years, so the person who measures your worktop is usually the same person who templates and fits it. That work carries a 5-year guarantee on labour and installation and a 2-year guarantee on the product itself, and the business is a member of the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses.
Where We Template and Fit Worktops Around Nottingham
Worktop templating and fitting runs from a dedicated regional workshop across Nottingham and the wider East Midlands, roughly a 15-20 mile radius taking in Greater Nottingham (West Bridgford, Wollaton, Beeston, Arnold, Sneinton), Nottinghamshire towns such as Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Stapleford, and into Derbyshire as far as Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Heanor, out towards the Chesterfield and Mansfield border. In the older streets around the Lace Market and Nottingham Castle, floors and foundations can be uneven from the age of the building and, in places, the sandstone caves underneath -- part of why base cabinets get checked and packed level before a template is even taken, since stone won't forgive a floor that's out by more than a few millimetres. Heavier slabs such as granite or Dekton need proper vehicle access for delivery and lifting, so jobs across the river in West Bridgford, Wilford and Colwick are timed around van access near Trent Bridge rather than carried in on foot. Templating visits and fitting days are scheduled along the same regional van routes used for full kitchen installs, so a worktop-only job doesn't need a special trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose Natural Stone, or Engineered Stone Worktops For Your Home?
Natural stone worktops are the perfect choice for any home, as they offer a timeless and durable appeal. Natural stone is incredibly strong and long lasting, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. This material also has a luxurious look that will add character to any interior design. Additionally, natural stone can be easily polished to make it even more beautiful without compromising its durability. Engineered stone worktops also provide many advantages over traditional materials like wood or laminate. Engineered stones are made from quartz aggregates and resin binders which create a nonporous surface that is resistant to heat, stains, scratches, bacteria and mold growths. As such, engineered stone worktops have become increasingly popular in households due to their strength and dur
What is the best type of worktop for a kitchen?
Choosing the best type of worktop for a kitchen comes down to balancing aesthetics, budget, and practicality. Among the options, quartz stands out for its durability and non-porous nature, making it resistant to stains and scratches while offering a wide variety of colours and patterns. Granite, a natural stone, offers uniqueness through its varied patterns and is known for its heat resistance. Marble adds a touch of luxury with its distinctive veining, though it requires more maintenance to prevent stains. Solid surface materials provide seamless integration possibilities and are available in numerous colours and designs. Ceramic worktops are highly heat-resistant and offer a unique look, while Dekton provides remarkable strength, making it resistant to heat, scratches, and UV rays. Miner
How much to replace kitchen worktops?
The total cost to replace kitchen worktops can vary widely and is influenced by several key factors, each contributing to the final amount you might expect to spend. The choice of material plays a significant role, as different materials come with different price tags, based on their availability, durability, and aesthetic appeal. The size and layout of your kitchen also affect the cost, as larger kitchens or those with complex layouts may require more material and labour. Additionally, whether you opt for a professional installation or decide to undertake the project as a DIY can impact your financial outlay. Customisations, such as unique edges, finishes, or integrated sink options, can further adjust the cost. Ultimately, to gauge the expense of replacing kitchen worktops, it’s importan
