Less than half an hour away from our Charlwood, Surrey, factory, East Grinstead is one of our most frequent destinations for granite worktop installations. The town centre features many historic buildings, but there are also large areas of housing built through the last century, with many homes benefiting from kitchen renovations and upgrades.
East Grinstead, West Sussex
East Grinstead is an unusual town, in part because it is famous as the headquarters of several religious sects. But it is a beautiful place to live. In many people’s heads it is thought to be in Surrey, but is actually right at the tip of West Sussex, with county boundaries with Kent, Surrey and East Sussex all nearby. Here are some reasons why people love living in East Grinstead:
Proximity to London: East Grinstead is located just 30 miles south of London, which makes it a popular commuter town. The train journey to London takes approximately 50 minutes, so it’s a great location for those who work in the city but want the feel of a country town.
Natural beauty: East Grinstead is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with the Ashdown Forest, the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the South Downs National Park all within easy reach. These areas provide ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and horse riding.

We have fitted many sets of granite worktops in East Grinstead, and this case study features one particular installation which we look back on with special satisfaction. At the time we did it, the granite island was one of the widest we had ever installed, and the material was also relatively new in the UK kitchen worktops market.
We are the original Affordable Granite company. In our early days we installed granite worktops in many parts of the UK, but the Home Counties south of London are the heart of our home territory and we now work almost exclusively in this region. For granite worktops in East Grinstead, Felbridge, Dormansland, Limpsfield and right across Surrey and West Sussex, make sure you contact AG, for the best quality and competitive pricing. We look forward to hearing from you!
