Bespoke kitchen worktops are where form and function come together. Compare the materials our designers recommend most.
Your worktop is the hardest-working surface in the kitchen, so the right choice depends on how you cook, clean and live. Quartz is hard-wearing and low maintenance, ceramic resists heat and scratches, natural stone brings unique character and wood adds warmth. Your kitchen designer will help you weigh durability, care and look.

Before falling in love with a finish, ask how your kitchen will be used. Do you cook every day, bake, or entertain often? Are there young children or pets? Do you want a surface that looks pristine for years, or one that develops character with age?
The answers point you towards the right material. A busy family kitchen suits quartz or ceramic; a quieter kitchen can carry marble or wood. Visit a showroom to see and touch the options, and your designer will help you match the worktop to the way you live.

Engineered for modern living, quartz is a top choice for homeowners who want a beautiful surface with little upkeep. It is non-porous, so it resists stains and does not need sealing, and it comes in a huge range of colours and veined effects, from crisp whites to marble-look Calacattas.
We offer quartz from Silestone, Caesarstone and our own Harvey Jones range in 20mm and 30mm thicknesses. It suits busy family kitchens, islands and anyone who wants the look of stone without the maintenance.

We can source work surfaces of any type. The best kitchen counter material for your project depends on; the way you intend to use the surfaces, your budget and your aesthetic preferences. For instance, timber work surfaces are tactile and naturally beautiful, but we don’t recommend that they are used around wet areas. Our designers receive regular training and product briefings, so they are perfectly placed to advise you about suitable options for your kitchen space.
We appreciate that every client’s project is different and so we can work according to your individual requirements. We can supply all appliances, worktops, sinks, taps and other features, making sure that everything arrives at your home at the same time to ensure a smooth installation. Alternatively, we can work with any existing appliances you would like to retain or supply you with our handmade furniture.
Quartz and ceramic are the most durable choices for everyday use. Quartz is non-porous and highly scratch and stain resistant, while ceramic surfaces such as Dekton are also extremely heat resistant. Natural stones like granite are tough too but need occasional sealing. Your designer will help you balance durability with the look you want.
