What's Included In A Quartz Worktop Installation
- Laser templating of your existing units so the slab is cut to your kitchen's exact layout, not a standard size
- In-house cutting of the quartz, including cutouts for sinks, hobs and other appliances
- Edge finishing to your chosen profile, plus drainer grooves or chamfered/bullnose edges where wanted
- Seamless on-site jointing by our stonemasons where a run needs more than one slab
- Removal and disposal of your old worktop under our registered waste carrier licence
- A written, no-obligation quotation before any work is booked in
Not Included / Costed Separately
- Extra labour for awkward locations or existing cabinets that need altering to take the new worktop - priced individually once seen
- Plumbing reconnection of sinks and taps or electrical connection of hobs, where these need a separate trade on the day
- Delivery or access charges for restricted sites, confirmed at the survey stage
- Buying a pre-cut slab to fit yourself - once we quote a job it's templated, cut and fitted by our team, not supplied as a standalone slab
How A Quartz Worktop Job Runs From Enquiry To Finish
- Free home visit and quote: We look at your existing kitchen, cabinet layout and appliance positions, talk through quartz colour, thickness and edge options, and provide a written, no-obligation quotation.
- Laser templating: Once you've confirmed the job, we take a precise laser template of the worktop area, including any sink, hob or drainer cutouts, so nothing is cut to a generic size.
- Cutting and finishing: The quartz is cut in-house to the template, with your chosen edge profile and any cutouts machined before it comes to site.
- Old worktop removal: Your existing worktop is taken out and disposed of under our registered waste carrier licence, ready for the new quartz to go in.
- Fitting and jointing: Our stonemasons fit and level the new worktop, jointing any seams between slabs so they sit flush.
- Sign-off and warranty: We check sinks, hobs and joints are sound, then complete a formal sign-off backed by our written installation warranty.
Quartz Against Granite, Marble And Laminate
| Material | Typical Cost | Heat Resistance | Maintenance | Good To Know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quartz | Around £50-£100 per sq ft installed | Very good - copes with hot pans | Low - non-porous, no sealing needed | Widest range of consistent colours and patterns |
| Granite | Usually less than quartz | Good | Occasional resealing recommended | Natural stone with unique veining, less uniform than quartz |
| Marble | Often a premium price for high-character veining | Good, but can mark from heat or acidic spills | Needs regular sealing | High-character natural look, more porous than quartz |
| Laminate | The most affordable option | Poor - can scorch or mark | Low, but seams and edges wear over time | Budget-friendly starting point with the shortest lifespan |
Worktops Templated, Cut And Fitted By Our Own Stonemasons
Nottingham Kitchen Fitter is a family-run business that's been designing and fitting kitchens across Nottingham and the wider East Midlands for over 20 years, with 800+ kitchens completed for local homeowners. You deal directly with the people templating, cutting and fitting your worktop, not a call centre passing the job to a subcontractor. Quartz is cut in-house and jointed on site by trained stonemasons, working from a laser template of your kitchen so the slab is cut to fit rather than a standard size. Every job starts with a free home visit and a written quotation with no hidden extras, and finishes with a formal sign-off backed by a 5-year guarantee on labour and installation and a 2-year guarantee on products. The business is a member of the Construction Industry Training Board and the Federation of Small Businesses.
Where We Fit Quartz Worktops Around Nottingham
Quartz worktops are fitted right across Nottingham and the wider East Midlands, from a workshop covering Greater Nottingham (West Bridgford, Wollaton, Beeston, Arnold, Sneinton), Nottinghamshire (Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Stapleford) and into Derbyshire (Derby, Long Eaton, Alfreton, Heanor), roughly a 15-20 mile radius that stretches to Chesterfield. Older properties bring their own quirks: in Lace Market conversions and Victorian terraces, floors and walls are rarely perfectly true, so the template accounts for any lean in the units before the slab is cut, and the worktop is packed level on fitting day where needed. The same job is more straightforward in newer city-centre apartments and standard new-build kitchens, where the template is simply matching a square, modern layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does quartz worktop fitting take, from template to finish?
Templating happens first, then the slab is cut in-house to that template before it's fitted. The cutting and fitting stage typically takes around one to two weeks after templating, though this can vary with slab availability, colour choice and how much cutting the job needs - your written quotation will give you a firmer timescale for your kitchen.
Will I be without a kitchen worktop while the new one is fitted?
You can normally keep using your existing worktop right up until fitting day, since templating doesn't require it to be removed. The old worktop only comes out once the new quartz slab is cut and ready to go in, so disruption is limited to the fitting visit itself.
Do quartz worktops need sealing or any special cleaning?
No. Quartz is non-porous, so it doesn't need sealing the way granite or marble does, and it won't absorb liquids or oils. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth is enough for everyday cleaning - just avoid abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners, which can dull the surface finish over time.
Is there a guarantee on the worktop and the installation?
Yes. Installation and labour are covered by a 5-year guarantee, and the quartz product itself carries a 2-year guarantee. You'll also get a formal sign-off and written installation warranty once the job is complete, so there's a clear record of what's covered.
