2. What is a template?

A template is an exact replica of the required granite worktops. Taking all accurate measurements of the kitchen units and cut outs for hobs and sinks, all the shaping and overhang required. This is then used to manufacture the granite work tops ensuring a precise and accurate cutting of the granite for a perfect work surface installation.

Beware of some companies who claim they do not need to template before fitting, and cut on site using mobile equipment on the installation day. Using hand held cutters and polishers in your kitchen or living room can often resort in having to chisel the walls and needing to scribe the back of the granite edge to install the work surface. Resulting in very poor quality and unprofessional looking work surface  plus a lot of dust, mess and noise.
A top quality Granite worktop when finished to the highest standard requires accurate templating before installation. Our cutting and polishing is carried out on the latest precision machinery in a dedicated and bespoke manufacturing facility, ensuring a perfect fit and a superior finish.

3. What must I have on-site when you arrive to do the templating survey?
Before the survey you need to ensure all cabinets are level have sufficient braces and are secured firmly to the wall. Make sure you know the final location of sinks, hobs taps or any other fittings required and have these available on site. Please ensure after the survey cabinets are not moved as the measurements taken during the survey are crucial for a perfect worktop installation. Any changes after the survey can cause significant delays and incur extra charges.

4. I am just replacing my existing worktops, do they have to be removed before you template?
In most cases we can template directly on top of the existing worktops, in very rare circumstances they may have to be removed before we come to template. If in doubt please call us for further clarification.

How ever we would recommend for a more accurate finish that you have your existing worktops removed before we come to template.

Please note when we return to install the new granite worktops the existing worktops need to be removed also sinks, taps and hobs should all be disconnected before we arrive to fit.

5. Can we plaster the walls after you have templated?
