Although a Surrey-based firm, Affordable Granite has always installed granite worktops in Kent, and this has been increasing over recent years. In part, the moves of two of our sales staff to Kent (Maidstone and Bromley) has only served to reinforce our reputation as a leading supplier of Kent kitchen worktops. From Westerham to Canterbury and on to Ramsgate and Dover, we have installed in all parts of the county. And our closest sizeable town in Kent is Sevenoaks.

The town hosts a range of cultural and recreational activities throughout the year, including festivals, concerts, and exhibitions. The community spirit and quality of life are often cited as appealing aspects of living in Sevenoaks.
Sevenoaks may be in Kent but it is only 40 minutes drive from our granite worktops factory near Horley in Surrey. As a result, we often find ourselves templating and fitting granite worktops here. Tastes are a mix, as elsewhere, with traditional dark granite worktops and all the rest running through to white, marble-look quartz. Homes in Sevenoaks vary in size too, so we are involved in everything from quite small kitchen worktop installations up to absolute mansions.

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 our real home turf. Frankly, these days, with granite worktop companies springing up across the country, anyone looking at us for work in Birmingham, Leicester or Nottingham needs their head examining! But for quartz and granite worktops in Sevenoaks and right across Kent and Surrey, make sure you contact AG, for the best quality and competitive pricing. We look forward to hearing from you!
