Affordable Granite is a family-owned, leading installer of high-quality stone kitchen work surfaces in Surrey, Sussex and across the South Eastern counties. Understandably, most customers have an allocated budget, and will want to estimate the price of their quartz kitchen worktops in the UK before making an informed decision. This article is a brief guide to how pricing relates to the manufacture and fitting of quartz for your new kitchen.
Quartz worktops are durable, stylish, and low-maintenance, but there are several factors which influence the total price. Affordable Granite regularly review their stock materials and prices to ensure the range stays on trend and to give you a competitive quotation. Ideally, homeowners should provide an initial plan with a detailed layout of the kitchen, showing cut-outs for hobs, appliances and sinks.
Firstly, material quality and brand significantly affect cost. Quartz is an engineered stone and is manufactured by reputable brands, such as Caesarstone, Silestone, and Compac, each offering a range of colours and performance levels. Popular or high-end ranges, especially those with unique designs or thicker slabs, typically cost more per square metre.
You will find a chart on the Affordable Granite website setting out the 1-5 band quartz prices. For the standard worktops these currently range from £610 - £960 per 3,000mm.
Upstands measuring 1250 x 100 x 20mm are priced from £27 - £52.
Prices are available on application for Island and Peninsula units.
A full fit for up to four worktops is £910, with the manufacture and fitting of each additional worktop priced at £98.
When planning your new kitchen, you will need to account for worktop dimensions and layout complexity. Larger kitchens require more material, and unusual layouts. Islands, breakfast bars, and peninsulas units increase the amount of quartz needed. Waste and off-cuts from shaping also mean you will need extra material, and a percentage should be allowed for in your budget. This is where the expertise and advice from the Affordable Granite team can be invaluable during the planning stage.
Cutting, edging and finishing choices are also important. Simple square edges are cheaper, while features like bullnose, waterfall ends or mitred edges add fabrication time, and therefore cost more. Quartz matching splashbacks deliver a cohesive look but come at additional expense.
A realistic, itemised budget helps avoid surprises and ensures your quartz kitchen worktops deliver both aesthetic and functional value for years to come. Quartz held in stock at the Affordable Granite workshops in Charlwood, Surrey can be viewed and selected on-site, to ensure you achieve the perfect addition to your home.
