What to Expect Before Installation Day:
- Templating: Once your base units are securely in place, our expert team will visit your home to create precise templates of your new worktops. This ensures a perfect fit, accounting for any unique angles or features. This is a critical step, so ensure your units are exactly where you want them.
- Material Selection and Cutting: Based on your chosen Granite Worktops Buckinghamshire or Quartz Worktops Bedfordshire, the slabs are carefully selected and expertly cut to the exact dimensions of your templates using specialized machinery.
- Preparation is Key: Before the installation team arrives, ensure your kitchen area is clear and accessible. Remove any items from your existing worktops and ensure there’s a clear path for our team to carry in the new worktops.
The Installation Process: What Happens on the Day:
- Careful Delivery: Your beautiful Granite Worktops Northamptonshire or Quartz Worktops Essex will be carefully transported to your home, ensuring they are protected during transit.
- Professional Handling: Granite and quartz are heavy materials, requiring specialized lifting equipment and experienced professionals to handle them safely and effectively. Our installation team is highly trained and equipped for the job.
- Precise Placement: The worktops will be carefully maneuvered into position, ensuring they align perfectly with your base units and any existing features like sinks or hobs.
- Seam Joining (if necessary): For larger installations, multiple pieces of worktop may be required. Our skilled installers will expertly join these sections, creating near-invisible seams for a seamless look.
- Sink and Hob Cut-Outs: If you’ve chosen to have your sink or hob installed by us, the cut-outs will be precisely made according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Sealing and Finishing: Depending on the material, your worktops may be sealed to protect them from stains and moisture. The edges will be finished to your chosen profile, adding the final touch of elegance.
- Quality Check: Our team will conduct a thorough quality check to ensure everything is fitted correctly, level, and to your satisfaction.
Your Role During Installation:
- Ensure Clear Access: As mentioned earlier, a clear and unobstructed workspace is essential for a smooth installation.
