Worktop Installation – Step by Step
Confirmation and Arrival Time
When the fabrication process is completed and your kitchen worktops are ready to be fitted, we will contact you to arrange for the installation. We will advise a designated time slot for the arrival of our professional fitters at your home. While we strive to adhere to the given time slot, it’s important to note that unforeseen circumstances such as delays from previous jobs or traffic may cause slight variations.
However, we will stay in close communication with you on the day and update you on our team arrival time.
We do also recommend that you are available all day for the installation appointment as we cannot specify neither the arrival time nor the duration of the installation prior to the day.
When we do arrive at your address it is important to ensure that there is a suitable parking spot available for our team. If your local area requires parking permits, please obtain them in advance to prevent any potential delays or inconvenience during the installation appointment.
Preparing the Area
For a smooth installation, please make sure the area is clear of any obstructions by removing any temporary worktops, appliances or fixtures. This allows the installer to move around freely and work efficiently. It’s worth noting that some worktops may require additional support, as advised during the template appointment. By completing the recommended advisory works, you can help ensure a seamless and successful installation experience.
Installing the Worktops
Once our skilled installers arrive, they will initiate the installation process for your new worktops. The duration of the installation is typically 1 hour or more, depending on the size and complexity of your kitchen. This stage of the process is truly exciting, as you will witness your vision coming to life and your kitchen transforming into a beautiful and functional space.

Fitting Sinks and ensuring right fit for appliances
Our team of expert installers is dedicated to achieving a precise and seamless fit, especially when it comes to worktops that include sinks or other appliances. During the template appointment, precise measurements for cut-outs and necessary holes, such as those for taps, pop-up sockets, and fixtures, will be taken.
Rest assured; our team will double-check these measurements during the installation to ensure their accuracy. However, it’s important to keep in mind that connecting the taps and appliances to the plumbing and electrical systems requires the specialised skills of a qualified electrician and plumber, who you should arrange for.
If your sink is an under-mounted sink, our team will securely attach it to the underside of the worktop, ensuring it is secure and in place.
Finishing Touches
Once the worktops are securely installed, our professionals will carefully ensure that they are level and properly aligned. They will then proceed to fit any cladding, splashbacks, or upstands that perfectly complement the aesthetics of your kitchen. Before completing the installation, the installers will conduct a thorough clean-up, removing any dust or debris, and leaving your kitchen spotless and ready for you to enjoy.
Before our team leaves your premises
Ensure you check all aspects of the installation before the team departure to make sure you are happy. The team will give you a sign-off sheet to help you check all around the installed worktop. Please bare that any further visits after your installation may incur additional costs. So take the time to complete this step.
