WHAT DO YOU DO: SERVICES PROVIDED BY AFFORDABLE GRANITE

Affordable Granite provides a number of services to our customers. We use various terms and phrases to describe them, in quotation letters, on this website and elsewhere. Just what do those terms mean? It can be confusing for people who are doing up a kitchen for the first time, so here is a guide to demystify some of the jargon and clarify what we are all about.

Our bread and butter – the bulk of our work and the bulk of the quotes we tender is our full template and fit service. For how we price this, please see our granite and quartz pricing pages. If you live a long way from us, you may also want to look at how we price for long-distance installations.

For a full description of what is involved in our full template, manufacturing, delivery and fitting service, please jump here.

Our worktop exchange service gives you everything from the Full Fit service PLUS we arrange for the disconnection and reconnection of services and for worktop removal. We are a bit more restrictive on the area where we will do this and there may be other restrictions if the kitchen is older or in bad condition in anyway. See here for information; contact us for a quotation.

Supply Only jobs are at the other end of the spectrum. Supply-only means just what it says: the customer tells us what to make, in terms of dimensions and specifications and we make it. The product – whatever it is – has to be picked up from our factory, as is.

For all you want to know about our Supply Only service, please see here.

For how we price small Supply only jobs, please see here.

This is exactly the same as supply only in terms of responsibility for measurements and fitting, but we deliver to you. We can’t always do this, and costs vary depending on distance and number of people required to offload at your end. But it is a handy service if this is what you need. Check out the details here.

For how we price the delivery part of Supply and Deliver jobs, please see here.

We don’t normally undertake work on a customer’s own granite (see the reasons in our recent blog on why not to buy worktops from EBay), but every rule is made to be broken and just occasionally we do labour only work, modifying existing granite worktops. This occurs mainly 1) very locally and 2) for worktops that we installed ourselves – we want to look after our customers.

For a general guide to our Labour Only service please click here, and to see how we price Labour Only jobs, please see here.

We offer a general refurbishment of solid stone worktops. This is not a specialist repair for chips or major stains, but a general spruce up of solid stone worktops. It is not a repair service for major chips or stains. We restrict distance (more at some times in the year) and tend to prioritise our own existing. customers. See here for further details, or contact us.

One very specialised kind of labour-only work is our waterjet cutting service. Please take a look at our entry page on waterjet cutting for basic information about what we can cut, maximum sizes and so on. Then contact us to discuss your project and cutting requirements.
