Kitchen Worktops in Leagrave, Luton

Replacing just the worktops is one of the best-value changes you can make to a kitchen in Leagrave, where plenty of houses have sound units and tired, chipped or stained surfaces. New worktops change the look of the room without the cost and upheaval of a whole new kitchen.

The joints are where worktop fitting is judged. Laminate worktops are joined with a mason's mitre cut with a jig and a router, bolted from underneath and sealed so water cannot get into the core. A badly cut joint swells within months and there is no fixing it afterwards.

Solid wood worktops are beautiful in the right Leagrave kitchen, but they move with moisture. They are oiled on every face, including the underside and the cut-outs, and fixed so they can expand and contract without cracking.

Sink and hob cut-outs are made accurately and the exposed edges sealed, because the edge of a sink cut-out is where water finds its way in first. Undermounted sinks need a worktop material that can take them, which rules out standard laminate.

Composite and stone worktops are templated after the units are in and fitted by specialists, and we can arrange that and fit around it.

The old worktops come off carefully so the units underneath are not damaged, and the upstands or splashback are finished to match. Doors that no longer close square, a worktop lifting at a joint, or water marks under the sink are worth looking at before a new kitchen goes in.
