KITCHEN WORKTOPS ACROSS LONDON, ESSEX & HERTFORDSHIRE

Bespoke granite, quartz and porcelain across our coverage area

We design, fabricate and install bespoke stone worktops for homes across London, Essex and the whole of Hertfordshire. One workshop in Nazeing, one team, one process: free templating, fixed quote, single-day installation.

Bespoke stone worktops across London, Essex and Hertfordshire.

Modern Worktops has been fabricating and fitting stone kitchen worktops across the south-east for over a decade. Our coverage runs from central London out through the Essex commuter belt and right across Hertfordshire to the edge of the Chilterns. Whatever the property, whatever the postcode, the process is the same: we come out, template the kitchen, send a fixed written quote and install the finished worktop in a single day.

Our workshop is based in Nazeing, just inside Essex on the Hertfordshire border. From there we run regularly into London, across the IG and CM postcodes of west and central Essex, and out across the AL, EN, HP, SG and WD postcodes of Hertfordshire. Several of the towns we cover have multiple recent projects on our portfolio (Harpenden, Loughton, Bishop’s Stortford, Brentwood and Harlow are all particularly busy markets for us).

If you’re planning a kitchen renovation anywhere in our coverage area, we’re happy to come out for a free, no-obligation template and quote. Use the directory below to find your town, or get in touch directly: 01708 914101 / 01992 721802, mobile 07842 555736, [email protected].

Worktops we install across Modern Worktops

Most Modern Worktops kitchens we work on land somewhere in the quartz, granite or porcelain family. The choice usually comes down to look, feel and how the space is used day to day.

Quartz worktops are by far the most popular choice across our coverage area. Hard-wearing, almost zero maintenance and available in everything from clean Carrara whites to dramatic veined slabs. Our Artemistone range covers the marble-effect options most homeowners are drawn to, with finishes including Carrara, Calacatta, Arabescato Cremo, Schilthorn, Dover White Extra, Thunder Black and many more in our showroom and sample library.

Granite worktops are a natural stone with proper character. Ideal if you want depth, movement and the kind of detail no two slabs share. A particularly strong choice for the period and conservation-area properties of Hertford, St Albans, Berkhamsted, Hitchin and the older parts of central London where natural stone reads as right for the building.

Porcelain and sintered stone are increasingly popular with the architects we work with on contemporary extensions and new-builds across the whole coverage area, from Shenfield Crossrail-era family homes to London side-return extensions to Watford new-build estates. Lightweight, full-body and suitable for outdoor kitchens too.

Wherever in our coverage area you are, we hold a comprehensive sample library and are happy to bring colours and finishes out to your home so you can see them against your cabinetry, flooring and lighting before you commit.

Recent Modern Worktops project: Artemistone Arabescato Cremo, Harpenden

One of the projects we point new clients to most often is a recent Harpenden installation in Artemistone Arabescato Cremo Quartz. A bright white stone with soft warm-grey veining that reads as marble across the room but handles family kitchen use without the fuss of real marble.

Arabescato Cremo is one of our most-requested whites across the whole coverage area, particularly in the Edwardian and Victorian kitchens common in Harpenden, St Albans, Berkhamsted, Buckhurst Hill and the inner-London townhouse market. Several more examples of it sit across our portfolio.

Why Us?

There are many reasons…

Trusted Tradesmen

Highly Recommended

Where exactly do you cover?

Greater London, all of west and central Essex (IG and CM postcodes), and the whole of Hertfordshire (AL, EN, HP, SG and WD postcodes). The directory below lists every town with a dedicated page; if your area isn’t shown but is within roughly 35 miles of our Nazeing workshop, ask anyway and we’ll usually be able to help.

How does the process work?

Three steps. First we come out and template your kitchen (usually around two weeks after your cabinetry has gone in). Then we fabricate, which takes 7 to 10 working days at our Nazeing workshop. Then we install in a single day, so you’re not without a working kitchen for any longer than necessary.

How much does it cost?

We give a fixed written quote based on the actual templated measurements, so what you sign off is what you pay. Cost depends on the stone, the run length and any specials like shaped islands, drainer grooves or full-height splashbacks. Use our online quote form for an indicative figure or arrange a home visit for a fixed quote.

Do you handle listed and conservation-area properties?

Yes. Our coverage area includes a high concentration of listed and conservation-area properties, particularly across central London, Hertford, St Albans, Hitchin, Berkhamsted and Bishop’s Stortford. We’ve fitted worktops in plenty of them and can liaise with your architect or planner where useful.

What guarantee do you offer?

All our worktops come with a 10-year guarantee. We’re Checkatrade-approved with hundreds of completed projects across London, Essex and Hertfordshire.

How do I get in touch?

Call us on 01708 914101 or 01992 721802, mobile 07842 555736, or email [email protected]. For a written quote, the online quote form is the fastest route. We aim to come back to all enquiries within one working day.
