What to Expect During Quartz Worktop Installation
Upgrading your kitchen with a quartz worktop is one of the best investments UK homeowners can make. Not only does quartz bring timeless beauty, but it also offers unmatched durability and practicality. However, many people wonder—what exactly happens during the quartz worktop installation process?
Step 1: Choosing Your Quartz Worktop
The first step is selecting the right quartz kitchen worktop that complements your space. At SlabGo, we offer a wide variety of quartz designs—whether you prefer a bold, veined pattern or a subtle, minimalist style.
Tip: Consider both aesthetics and practicality. Light tones make smaller UK kitchens look spacious, while darker hues add a premium feel.
Step 2: Professional Templating
Once you’ve chosen your quartz, our installation team visits your home to take precise measurements. This stage is called templating, and it ensures your quartz worktop is cut to fit your kitchen layout perfectly—whether you have an L-shaped counter, an island, or bespoke cabinetry.
All cut-outs for sinks, hobs, and taps are measured.
Edges and corners are customised.
The template prevents errors and waste, guaranteeing a seamless fit.
Step 3: Fabrication of Your Quartz Worktop
After templating, the quartz slab is sent to our workshop for fabrication. Skilled craftsmen use advanced machinery to cut, polish, and finish the worktop exactly as per your kitchen’s needs.
Fabrication includes:
Edge profiling (straight, bevel, or rounded edges).
Polishing for a matte or glossy finish.
Seamless cut-outs for sinks and hobs.
This stage typically takes a few days, depending on the size of your kitchen.
Step 4: Installation Day
When the fabrication is complete, our team arrives to install your quartz worktops. This is where the transformation happens!
Here’s what you can expect:
Delivery & Placement: Your quartz slabs are safely transported and carefully positioned.
Seaming & Joining: The slabs are joined neatly, ensuring a seamless finish.
Securing the Worktop: Adhesives are used to fix the quartz firmly in place.
Polishing & Finishing Touches: The surface is polished, joints are sealed, and edges are perfected.
Most installations take just one day, depending on kitchen size.
