Laminate worktops
Laminate worktops are resistant to bumps, scrapes and household stains. They’re also heat, scratch and water-resistant, and have been drip sealed to stop spills damaging cabinets below.
Solid wood worktops
All our solid wood worktops are made from responsibly sourced wood. They’re designed with an ultra-smooths surface and are pre-oiled for maximum defence against moisture and stains.
Solid acrylic worktops
Solid acrylic worktops are made from a variety of materials and offer the same surface all the way through (instead of being wrapped around chipboard).
Bespoke worktops
For the ultimate luxury kitchen worktop, have one custom made. Having a worktop made to measure means you don't have to compromise on style, size, or placement. What's more, our professional fitters will install it for you.
What else do I need to finish the look?
Upstands & splashbacks
Protect your kitchen walls from food splatters with a splashback. A kitchen upstand will provide a neat join between the worktop and the wall for a streamlined look.
End caps & joints
Use end caps and joints to cover exposed edges for a stunning, seamless look in your kitchen.
Edging strips
Add a professional finishing touch to your laminate worktop with a matching edging strip.
