Easy Steps
To Measure for New Worktops

If your kitchen units are in good condition and the layout works for you then sometimes all that is needed to give your kitchen that extra Wow factor is New worktops

Step One

The first and most important step is to choose the work surface that works best for your needs, your kitchen design, and colour scheme.

Quartz, granite, Staron, Corian and wood, all have their unique qualities, so it is important to know the differences between the materials available

Step Two

Take a pencil and paper and drawer the shape of your worktops

Measure the worktop sizes at the back and the front of the worktop.

Also draw the rough position of the sink, cooker, hob etc as shown

We appreciate that these will be approximate sizes and if you placed an order we would of course come out to template.

Step Three

The next step is to list the information below

1) What type of worktop you are wanting ie, Staron, Caesarstone, Granite, Corian etc

2) Are you wanting an upstand, Spashback behind the hob or a window cill. If you are wanting a Splashback how many socket cut outs do you require.

3) Are you wanting a sit-on sink, a Belfast sink or an under-mounted sink

4) Are you wanting drainer grooves

5) Do you need extra cut outs for pop up sockets, LED undercounter lighting or extractors

Once you have the answers to these questions, simply email
