    Replacement kitchen worktops

    Posted 31 January

    Chris did an excellent job, and kept me updated throughout with any issues or modifications that needed to be made. I particularly like the smooth curves on the joins, it looks like a work of art. Highly recommended.

    Metis Worktop Fitting

    Posted 07 January 2025

    Chris was fantastic from the outset. Very fast response and quote, arrived promptly on the day. One of my worktop pieces was warped (sourced these myself). Chris alerted me straight away, and explained how he could blend it in. It has come out fantastically! Invisible joint. Very pleased I went with Chris, he has the experience and skill in installing these composite worktops.

    New Composite Worktops in Kitchen and Utility Room

    Posted 20 September 2024

    I called Chris for a quote to change our worktops and sent some pictures and had a quote by the end of the day. Really impressed with how quickly everything was sorted and really pleased with his work. Everything done in a day and a half and it looks great. Also a mention to Paul who dealt with the hob and sinks. It was a pleasure to have them working in our home. I would really recommend Chris if you are looking for someone to do your worktops.

    Kitchen worktop fitted

    Posted 21 August 2024

    I highly recommend Chris for worktop fitting. He installed our kitchen worktop and we are very pleased with the result. Being acrylic, it was a more difficult product to work with, but he did an excellent job, obviously a skilled tradesman. Chris was easy to communicate with, and understanding of my need to change the start date. He was punctual, hardworking, polite and professional, and a pleasure to work with.

I provide an experienced professional worktop fitting service, installing all types of worktops, including Standard laminates, Solid/Compact Laminates, Solid Wood, Acrylics, and Solid Surface.Some of the popular brands of worktops I have much experience with are Minerva, Apollo Slab Tech, Apollo Magna, Maia, Mirastone, Zenith, LG HI-Macs, Mistral, and many more.

Currently the Compact laminates (Zenith) are very popular, and I install them on a weekly basis.

I am based in Shoreham by Sea, but cover the whole of Sussex and beyond, over 18 years’ experience in the trade with background in carpentry from an early age.

I offer primarily just a fitting service but can advise or supply the worktop if required.

I use only the best professional equipment to cut the mason mitre joins, to get the perfect joins every time, which is the real skill of the trade and something I take great pride in.

I can give you a fast quote via email, which is the best way to contact me as I like to focus on the work during the day, so if you send me some info, or even some plans if you have some, I’ll get back to you within the day.

I also generally don’t book more than 2 or 3 weeks ahead and can mostly always fit someone in last minute.

Please get in touch for a free quote.
