Yes, we specialise in bespoke worktops. Using advanced CNC technology and skilled craftsmanship, we can create:

• Custom edge profiles.

• Sink cut-outs, recessed drainers, and grooves.

• Unique designs tailored to your specific requirements.

Once templating is complete, we aim to fabricate and install your worktops within 7 to 10 working days. Timelines may vary based on complexity and material availability.

Our factory can process up to 40 slabs per day, ensuring we meet customer needs efficiently.

Worktops are carefully packaged and transported using specialised equipment to prevent damage. Our professional installation team ensures they arrive in perfect condition.

While the processes share similarities, we pay extra attention to natural stone due to its unique veining and characteristics. This ensures the best visual and structural results.

We use specialized CNC machines to handle intricate designs such as:

• Ogee and Bullnose edge profiles.

• Sink cut-outs, hob cut-outs, and pop-up socket cut-outs.

• Recessed drainers and grooves.

Our robotic CNC machines and water jet technology reduce stress on materials, minimizing the risk of fractures both during processing and in the final product.

We are CHAS-certified, which demonstrates compliance with health and safety standards. Additionally, we maintain strict adherence to HSE guidelines and industry best practices.

We hold approximately 2,000 slabs in stock at any given time, offering a wide selection of materials and colours to meet your needs quickly.
