Yes you definately can choose your stone worktops from the samples we have in our Showroom. For materials with bigger or more structured veining we can show you a full sized slab in the workshop (if possible) or an image so you can visualise how it would look on a bigger scale.
We can also send samples to your home to have a look at in the space and you're welcome to visit our Stone supplier either in London or up North (depending on the supplier) to see your chosen material in person.

The whole process takes around 5-6 weeks to complete so in order to ensure your worktops are installed for Christmas we advise starting in October. This allows plenty of time to choose material, ensure it is ordered and delivered on time ready for manufacture. Book in your Showroom Visit here!

We book in two dates: one for template and one for installation which are a week apart. That week gives us enough time to manufacture your stone worktops including all the polished edges, and extra elements such as splashbacks, upstands and window cills. It also gives us enough time to create the sink and hob cut outs as well as the drainage flutes if required.

Marble is a natural stone that enhances your home and increases your property value as buyers view this as a luxury upgrade! The striking visual appeal creates a memorable home in listings and open house viewings. Homes with Marble can usually ask for a higher listing price compared to those with laminate or tiles.

We wouldn't recommend using Marble outside as although it has a high resistance to heat, it can absorb water which can freeze in the colder conditions and cause the stone to crack. The surface requires yearly maintenance and re-sealing. Acids from rain or spills from wine or grease can easily stain or etch the polished surface and direct sunlight can cause lighter Marbles to fade or shift in colour overtime.
We would advise considering Granite or Sintered Stone for Outdoor Worktops.

Marble Worktops vary massively in price depending on the colour and slab design you choose. For example a Carrara Marble will be a better priced material compared to an Arabescato Marble with bolder patterns and colours.

We advise using soap or another mild cleanser and a soft cloth to clean your Marble worktops. Make sure you stay away from harsh cleansers such as bleach or vinegar as this will damage the surface!

Polished Marble is perfect for that high gloss look as it dramatically enhances the stones veining and colour. It is also a better choice when considering stain protection. Honed Marble provides more of a matt finish and can often hide any scratches better than a polished surface. Honed Marble is slightly more porous than polished Marble- it can absorb liquids quicker, and therefore requires more diligent yearly re-sealing.
