Granite Worktops in Nottingham
Granite is a natural stone formed from cooled molten rock, prized for kitchen worktops because it's extremely hard-wearing, heat-resistant, and unlikely to chip or scratch in normal use. Every slab is unique -- no two granite worktops look quite the same -- which appeals to homeowners who want the character of real stone rather than an engineered, uniform finish.
Our Process, From Consultation to Installation
Every project starts with a free consultation to discuss your kitchen and the range of granite colours and patterns available. We then template your kitchen precisely, and fabricate the slab in our workshop -- inspecting for imperfections, cutting to size, shaping the edge profile, seaming where more than one slab is needed, and polishing to your chosen finish. Installation includes careful removal of any old worktop, dry-fitting to confirm the fit, sealing, and a full clean-up.
Customisation Options
Beyond stone selection, we offer a full range of edge profiles (straight, bullnose, ogee and more) and can incorporate personalised features and detailed cut-outs for sinks, hobs and taps -- see our guide to customising granite worktops for more on the design options available.
What Granite Worktops Cost
Fully installed granite worktops in the Nottingham area typically range from around £250 to £450 per square metre, depending on the stone selected, slab thickness, kitchen size and complexity, and any specialist edge profiles. Rarer or exotic granites cost more than common colours and patterns. We'll confirm an exact price after a free consultation and template.

Frequently Asked Questions About Granite Worktops
Is granite worktop expensive?
It's a premium material, typically £250-£450/m² fully installed in the Nottingham area, but its durability and lifespan of up to 30 years mean it offers good long-term value.
What maintenance do granite worktops need?
Regular cleaning with warm water and a mild detergent, and resealing roughly every 12-18 months to maintain stain resistance.
How long will a granite worktop last?
Up to 30 years or more with proper care -- it's one of the most durable natural worktop materials available.
Is granite heat resistant?
Yes, granite handles heat well, though we still recommend trivets or hot pads for very hot cookware and keeping temperatures below around 175°C for prolonged direct contact.
Does granite fade in the sun?
No -- granite's mineral composition is naturally resistant to UV fading, though very prolonged heat exposure can occasionally cause cracking, so a UV shield is worth considering for conservatory-style kitchens.
