A new kitchen going in
Your fitter installs the units, we template them, then cut and fit stone to match exactly.
How templating worksStone worktops in Cambridge, measured and fitted
Quartz, granite, porcelain, marble and quartzite kitchen worktops for homes in and around Cambridge. We template your kitchen, cut the stone to fit it and install it, whether that is a whole new kitchen, a straight swap on existing units or one statement island.

Choose your stone
Each one looks, wears and cleans differently. Open a material for the honest pros and cons, or read the side-by-side comparison.
Engineered
Quartz worktops
Even colour, no sealing, huge choice of plain and veined designs. Keep hot pans off it.
Natural stone
Granite worktops
Tough, heat-tolerant and one of a kind. Some granites need an occasional seal.
Fired ceramic
Porcelain worktops
Slim, heat-proof and unbothered by sunlight. Edges are planned with care.
Natural stone
Marble worktops
The classic veined look. Soft, and etched by acids, so it ages with the kitchen.
How most worktop jobs start
New worktops, same units
Out with the laminate or timber, in with stone, cut fresh around the sink and hob.
Replacement worktopsAn island to build around
Stools tucked under an overhang, a waterfall end, perhaps a hob or sink in the middle: all worked out before the stone is cut.
Island worktopsAlso: matching splashbacks and upstands, and vanity tops, sills and offcut pieces.
What sets the price
Equal-sized kitchens can come in at quite different prices. These five things make the difference, and a good quote lists every one of them.
Read the pricing guide- Stone and slabsThe design you pick, and how many whole slabs your layout needs once joins and vein matching are planned.
- Thickness20 mm or 30 mm, or thin porcelain with a mitred front edge.
- OpeningsHoles for the sink, hob and tap, routed drainer grooves, and socket cut-outs in any splashback.
- Edges and extrasThe edge profile, upstands, full-height splashbacks, sills and island supports.
- Access and removalStairs, narrow hallways and parking, plus disposal of the old tops if you would like us to handle it.
Worktops in Cambridge homes
Local quirks worth knowing before you choose and book.
Hard water
Cambridge Water's 2025/26 report gives a hardness of about 335 mg/l as calcium carbonate for the north of the city. Quartz, porcelain and sealed granite cope easily; marble wants mild, acid-free cleaning. Our care guide has the routine.
Old walls, new kitchens
The city has 18 conservation areas, from Mill Road and De Freville to Newnham Croft and Storey's Way, and streets of Victorian terraces such as Romsey Town, built after the railway arrived in 1845. Few of their walls are true, so we always template first. Swapping worktops in a house that is not listed rarely needs any permission.
Parking on fitting day
Stone comes by van and goes in by hand, so the van has to park close to your front door. Much of Cambridge has residents' parking zones, where Cambridgeshire County Council issues tradesperson permits against a job sheet. Tell us about your street when you enquire.
Where we fit
The city plus its villages and market towns, as far as Ely, St Ives, Newmarket, Saffron Walden, Royston and Cambourne. Towns with a link have their own page with local notes.

Questions about worktops in Cambridge
How do I get a price?
Use the quote form to send a simple plan with approximate lengths, your postcode, the stone you are drawn to and your sink and hob choices. We will get in touch, go over it with you and price it.
Do you measure the kitchen?
Yes. The figures you send are only for pricing. Once you say yes and the units are installed, we take precise measurements on site and the stone is cut from those.
Will stone go on my current units?
Usually. They should be solid, level and securely fixed. See replacement worktops for what to check.
Which stone copes best with Cambridge water?
Quartz, porcelain and sealed granite handle hard water easily. Marble needs most care, since the acid in most descalers eats into its surface.
Do you cover my postcode?
We work across CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5, CB6, CB7, CB8, CB10, CB11, CB21, CB22, CB23, CB24, CB25, PE27, SG8. Add your postcode to your enquiry and we will confirm.
