How Much For Granite Worktops in Nottingham

0115-824-4201

If you're pricing up a new granite worktop, the honest answer is that cost is driven far more by the slab you choose, the edge profile and any cut-outs you need than by a single flat rate per metre. As a family-run kitchen company that has fitted granite, quartz and other stone surfaces across Nottingham and the wider East Midlands for over 20 years, we template, cut and fit every slab in-house rather than sending the stonework out to a separate supplier, which is one of the reasons local homeowners come to us for the best deal for their granite worktop.

Whether you're fitting granite into a full kitchen renovation or replacing worktops in an existing layout, Nottingham Kitchen Fitter can only give you an accurate figure once we've seen the kitchen in person, because slab size, colour, thickness and any sink or hob cut-outs all move the final price.

What's Included When We Fit A Granite Worktop

  • A free home visit to assess your kitchen and talk through granite options
  • Laser templating for a precise, made-to-measure fit once your base units are in place
  • In-house cutting of the slab to your chosen size, thickness and edge profile
  • Seamless on-site fitting and jointing carried out by our own stonemasons
  • Cut-outs for your chosen sink and hob, coordinated with our plumbing and gas-safe engineers
  • A full written quotation before work starts, with no hidden extras
What's Included When We Fit A Granite Worktop

Not Included / Costed Separately

  • Intricate bespoke edge detailing or specialised techniques like waterjet cutting or sandblasting, usually priced separately at an hourly rate
  • Rare or exotic granite colours, which carry a premium above standard slab pricing
  • Transport and disposal of old worktops or offcuts, which can attract an additional fee
  • Ongoing sealing and resealing to protect the finish once fitted -- this is routine aftercare rather than part of the installation

How Each Step Affects Your Granite Price

  1. Free home visit and initial figure -- We see the kitchen, talk through slab colours, edge profiles and any cut-outs, then give you a full written quotation before you've committed to anything -- this is the figure the rest of the process is built around, not a rough estimate that grows later.
  2. Design sign-off locks the price -- Once you're happy with the design in our CAD and interactive floor-planning software, we put it in a transparent written agreement. Anything not in that agreement -- an upgraded edge profile, an extra cut-out -- gets costed separately rather than added on afterwards.
  3. Laser templating confirms the exact slab size -- After your base units are fitted, we laser template the worktop area so the slab is ordered to the real dimensions of your kitchen rather than the plan drawings, which is what stops a quote moving once cutting starts.
  4. In-house cutting keeps the cost down -- Because our own stonemasons cut the slab rather than a third-party stone yard, there's no separate contractor's margin sitting between us and the material -- the price you're quoted is the cost of the work, not a markup on someone else's invoice.
  5. On-site fitting and jointing -- Our stonemasons fit and joint the slab on site, working alongside our own plumbers for tap and sink connections, so you're not paying a separate call-out fee for a plumber booked in through a third party.
  6. Sign-off and warranty -- We check the finished job with you, issue a formal sign-off and a written installation warranty, and confirm the final invoice matches the written quotation, covered by our 5-year labour and installation guarantee.

Granite Compared With Quartz And Laminate Worktops

Worktop material Typical cost Durability & upkeep Best suited to
Granite From around £270 per linear metre for standard slabs, rising to £1,000+ for bespoke shapes or vibrant colours, and up to around £2,000 per square metre for premium polished finishes Very durable and scratch-resistant; benefits from periodic sealing against acidic spills Homeowners wanting a natural stone finish with genuine colour and pattern variation
Quartz Broadly comparable to granite, often slightly higher for showroom slabs Low maintenance and generally doesn't need sealing, since it's an engineered surface Homeowners wanting consistent colour and pattern across the whole worktop
Laminate The most affordable of the three options Less durable and hard-wearing than stone, more likely to need replacing sooner Budget-conscious kitchens or shorter-term renovations

Stonemasons Who Template And Fit Your Granite In-House

A granite worktop is only as good as the person cutting and jointing it, which is why we keep laser templating, in-house cutting and on-site fitting under one roof rather than handing the stonework to a subcontractor. Our stonemasons work alongside City & Guilds trained cabinet makers, NVQ-qualified plumbers and Part P approved electricians, so if your granite needs a hob or sink cut-out coordinated with the rest of the kitchen, it's one team managing the job rather than you chasing separate trades. As a family business rather than a national chain, the person who visits your home to quote is the same person your job gets checked against once it's fitted -- over 20 years and 800+ completed kitchens, that direct line between quote and finished job is what keeps a granite price honest, rather than a starting figure that grows once a stone yard and a separate fitting crew get involved. Every job starts with a transparent written agreement and finishes with a formal sign-off and installation warranty, backed by a 5-year guarantee on labour and installation and a 2-year guarantee on products, so you know exactly what's covered once the granite is in.

How Far We Deliver And Fit Granite Slabs

Granite is heavy and awkward to move -- a single worktop slab can weigh well over 100kg once cut to size -- so we handle every stage ourselves rather than passing it between a haulage firm and a separate stone yard. From our regional workshop we template, cut and fit granite across Nottingham and out into Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, roughly a 15-20 mile radius taking in West Bridgford, Beeston and Arnold on one side and towns such as Long Eaton and Heanor on the other, stretching towards Chesterfield and the Derbyshire border. Because the same team that laser templates your kitchen also cuts and fits the slab, there's no handoff between a template van, a stone yard and a separate fitting crew -- the point at which a corner or edge is most likely to get chipped before it ever reaches your kitchen. In the older streets around the Lace Market and near Nottingham Castle's conservation area, where floors have settled unevenly over a century or more, that in-house control matters even more: the template has to account for the lean in the floor before the slab is cut, not after it's already on the lorry.

Common Questions About Granite Worktops

Do you supply and fit granite worktops on their own, or only as part of a full kitchen?

Both. Granite is one of the stone surfaces we template, cut and fit as part of our design, supply and installation service, and we're happy to quote for a worktop replacement on its own as well as within a full kitchen renovation. Either way, the same laser templating and in-house cutting process applies, and if you need a sink or hob cut into the slab we coordinate that with our own plumbing and gas-safe engineers rather than leaving it to you to arrange separately.

What guarantee do you offer on a granite worktop installation?

Every installation is backed by a 5-year guarantee on labour and installation and a 2-year guarantee on the materials themselves. Before work starts you get a written agreement setting out the full cost with no hidden extras, and once the job is finished you get a formal sign-off and a written installation warranty, so there's a clear record of what was fitted and what's covered.

Can I see how granite will look in my kitchen before I commit to it?

Yes. We use CAD and interactive floor-planning software to show you a photo-realistic view of your kitchen with the granite worktop in place before anything is ordered or cut, which is useful when you're choosing between similar-looking slab colours or deciding how a bolder pattern will sit against your cabinetry.

Do you only fit granite, or other stone worktops as well?

Granite is one of several stone and engineered surfaces we work with. We also template and fit high-character Italian marble, quartz, and ultra-tough sintered surfaces such as Corian and Dekton, with the slab jointed on site by our own stonemasons. If you're not sure which material suits your kitchen, we can talk through the options at your home visit.

Ready To Find Out What Your Granite Worktop Will Cost?

Slab prices vary too much for an accurate figure over the phone, so the next step is a free home visit where we can see your kitchen, talk through slab and edge options, and put together a full written quotation with no hidden extras. There's no obligation to go ahead, and because we template, cut and fit every worktop ourselves, you're dealing directly with the people doing the work rather than a call centre.
