10 Helpful and friendly staff
Posted 5 days ago
Job location: RH14So helpful staff and great job. I gave them a confusing job by moving one piece of granite from the kitchen to the utility room and adding new granite in the kitchen, adding more in the utility. This was no problem for them and they completed the job in good time at a good price and even gave advice on how to make the work top work in the utility. Better than before.Response from Affordable Granite
Thank you for your kind review. We enjoyed working with you.
10 How everything was carried out with the utmost efficiency and care
Posted 25 July
From first meeting with Naomi at the showroom, then Andy taking us through the templating process, to the instalation team was reassuring pain free, we would like to say a really big thank you to Affordable GraniteVerified reviewerJob location: RH11Response from Affordable Granite

10 Fantastic service and workmanship
Posted 24 July
Job location: W13We chose to have a worktop replacement and from start to finish the service was outstanding and the finished result is even better than I imagined. We visited their workshop to see the full size slabs to narrow down our selection and to get more ideas for our own kitchen. Affordable Granite work with Kitchen Makeovers to ensure a seamless replacement service. Every member of the teams from both companies was attentive and skilled. I would not hesitate to use them again and wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone.Response from Affordable Granite
Thank you for your kind review, we enjoyed working with you. Enjoy your worktops

From start to finish they were professional and very helpful. At their site, they take you through all the options to make the right choice, you then get to view the real product in their factory. From templating process through to installation is very well organised and they give a lot of guidance to ensure you maintain and look after it post installation. Unfortunately upon installation there was slight damage to one of our cabinets, however they agreed to resolve with any fuss whatsoever to put us back in the position as if it never happened, a sign of a fantastic company. Big thumbs up.Verified reviewerJob location: SM7Response from Affordable Granite

10 Marble shower, vanity and kitchen worktop
Posted 14 May
Where to start, AG were fantastic. From start to finish. We reached out with ideas and they brought them to life with fantastic recommendations on marble colours and local stockists near us. Once we had our two colours picked they wasted no time bringing our ideas to life and even provided recommendations which were so helpful. Andy, the owner is a great guy who I enjoyed working with. He was always there and worked hard to overcome any issues that came up. We will definitely work with AG again. Also a special shoutout to Naomi who worked closely with us at the start.Verified reviewerJob location: SW11Response from Affordable Granite

Founded in 2003 we are the original Affordable Granite Company with experience of installing granite and quartz worktops in thousands of kitchens across the South East of England and beyond.
QUALITY- Holding close links with our suppliers in India & internally conducting thorough inspections abroad we have a tight control over quality. We will not dispatch anything that we will not be proud of owning in our own kitchens. This means that you get the quality you require direct to your home, cutting out the cost of a middleman.
EXPERIENCE- We are NOT a new start-up and hold many years of stonemasonry experience. We have fitted thousands of kitchen work surfaces right across the UK and even done supply only jobs to be delivered abroad. N.B. Installations further afield from our Warehouse at Charlwood in Surrey will incur more cost for templating and installation. We use only our own templaters and installers. Training is conducted in house by our most experienced stonemasons. We have invested in the best machinery and tools necessary to do your installation. Between us we also have a lot of general experience on kitchen installations so are pleased to offer our advice all the way down the line.
STOCK- We own one of the largest stocks of granite worktops of the UK granite manufacturers with over £300,000 of worktops held permanently in our warehouses close to Gatwick Airport, Sussex on the borders of Surrey. Many of our competitors will make you wait for your raw material to be ordered from a 3rd party, either in the UK or abroad. We occasionally also have some ends of batches that we may sell as granite worktops seconds at discounted prices.
ADVERTISING- We do not have large marketing budgets and can therefore pass these savings directly onto you. Our business operates largely through personal recommendations. Why not view a few examples of these for yourself?
SPEED- Our average time between templating and fitting your granite worktops is 2-3 working days. This is incredible given that many of our competitors cause you the inconvenience of 10-14 days without kitchen worktops. We are regularly known to fit worktops next day locally. We have the capability of doing this because we don’t subcontract any of the work and it is all done at our warehouse at Charlwood in Surrey rather than being sent abroad. This however cannot be guaranteed and may not be possible due to the amount of machining involved, but we continuously strive to meet and beat your expectations. (Quartz worktop and Bespoke granite selections brought in from a supplier in the UK can extend the time between template and installation by 1-2 days).
COST- We import a selection of different size worktops , of the different colours that we stock, direct from quarries in India, not through a costly middleman in the UK. Buying direct in large quantities of one colour at a time means that we can be really competitive. These sizes enable us to be able to suit most worktop applications and have less wastage compared to our competitors who use larger slabs. (We also have the flexibility to buy larger slabs in from suppliers in the UK where necessary)
