In addition to designing and fabricating kitchens, bathrooms and fitted interiors, it is important to think about your kitchen worktop. It is a proven fact that your worktop can make a big difference to the final look of your kitchen so it is becoming an increasingly important consideration for those who are making slight alterations to their home. In this blog, we will showcase worktop ideas and take you through the process of installing a new worktop.

Worktop Installation Process at Amberth
In our Islington showroom we have three kitchens on display and a wide selection of worktop samples to choose from. We believe it is a good idea to have the worktops on display as it allows our customers time to look, touch and feel the various materials available, whilst proving a better insight into possible splash-back options to complete the look. The flexibility involved when being presented with different possibilities plus our expert advice helps to make informed decisions.
If you can’t decide on one worktop and have a few favourites, you are free to take away samples to get a better idea of how it will look in your space, against your existing cabinets. Alternatively, if we are designing, supplying and installing your cabinets for you, we can order cabinet door samples to take away, along with the worktop sample to see how it will look in your space.
Once a choice has been made, we ask for measurements of the worktop you wish to replace. We create a drawing of the worktop and send it off to our fabricator, who will provide us with a quote. At this stage, you may still be unsure of which worktop you prefer, in which case we would quote for two options, to help you comes to a final decision. Depending on the complexity of the design, a template visit will normally last no longer than 5 hours. Once the template has been carried out a further visit is arranged for installation.
The fabrication takes between 7-12 days, depending on the material. For Granite, Composite Stone, and Porcelain the process takes 7-10 days, and for concrete and stainless steel 8 weeks. Once your worktop has been fabricated, we are ready to install and this can take up to a day to complete.
