Affordable Granite has a wealth of experience in supplying granite, quartz and Dekton, templating, cutting / preparing stone worktops (in our own workshops) and fitting worktops on-site.

When planning your kitchen, you will need to consider not only the colour and type of stone worktop you prefer but also what finishing touches you would like.  There is a great range of options and these include:  height and type of upstands, style of islands, overhangs and splashbacks – all the way through to the style of sinks, sockets and taps which will determine how we need to cut the stone.   Rest assured we can help you achieve the perfect look and provide practical solutions.

Below are a few examples of some of the considerations required prior to the quotation and templating stage.
