Kitchen Granite Worktops

Colours and textures for all tastes

Whether you prefer white, grey, earth-coloured or black granite worktops, we can match the material to your interior design preferences, creating a space that speaks to your aspirations and is as unique as you are.

Built to last

Because we work with only the finest materials available and employ teams of expert craftspeople and fitters with an exceptional eye for detail, our granite worktops are designed to last and represent a real investment in the aesthetic and value of your home.

Granite’s exceptional durability means less waste overtime:

• Resists chipping, scratching, staining and fading
• Doesn’t need replacing every few years, compared to laminate or wood
• Can be refinished and resealed rather than removed

Many granite installations last 30+ years or even outlive the home they’re fitted into.

Granite worktops also require low maintenance. Only mild soap and warm water are needed for daily cleaning. Furthermore, annual sealing can prolong its lifetime and performance.

Where do Granite Worktops work best?

Granite is one of the most versatile stones available, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications. Its heat resistance and rugged durability means it performs just as well outdoors as it does in the home.

Kitchens

• Heat resistance: Setting down hot pans will be no issue as you can do so with no fear of damage
• Scratch-Proof: Accidentally scratching your surface with tools such as a knife will leave no damage.
• Stain-resistant when sealed: Granite worktops handles liquids such as oil, wine and lemon juice well without leaving stains
• Hygienic Surface: When sealed, Granite is non-porous and safe for food preparation

Bathrooms

Granite’s resistance to moisture and humidity makes it a great fit for bathrooms too.

• Won’t warp or stain from exposure to water or steam
• Can be used for shower seating, niche shelving or even windowsills and ledges

Hearths and Fireplaces

Granite’s bold textures and high heat tolerance makes it perfect for fireplaces.

• Handles open flames and ambient heat with no problem
• Ideal for chimney surrounds or full-height feature walls

Outdoor Areas and BBQs

Granite is perfect to handle extreme outdoor conditions.

• UV resistance means that granite won’t fade under the sunlight
• Grane is frost-proof, which helps with enduring cold climates without the fear of cracking
• Perfect for outdoor food preparation, pizza oven surrounds, poolside bar counters or even patio table tops

Sustainable

Granite is more than just a beautiful and durable surface. It’s a naturally sustainable material that aligns with long-term environmental responsibility. Here are a couple of ways a granite worktop can help contribute to more sustainable lifestyles:

Longevity

With sufficient care, your granite worktop can outlast most modern kitchen fittings by up to 30 to 50 years. By reducing the need for frequent replacements, using granite can reduce landfill waste, low the demand for new raw materials and minimise environmental disruption from manufacturing cycles. Alongside all of this, even if you do decide to renovate, your granite worktop can be repurposed for vanity tops or outdoor surfaces. It can even be recycled for construction or landscaping.

Little Manufacturing

Granite is a completely natural stone. As such it contains no synthetic compounds or harsh adhesives, just a pure mineral composition. Towards sustainability this therefore means that granite requires less energy to bring to the market compared to manmade alternatives. Alongside this it also involves far less industrial transformation.
