- Complete cleanup before we leave
Carrie from Rossington told us last week that she couldn't believe how quickly we transformed her kitchen. "I thought it would take days, but they were done in one afternoon," she said. That's the benefit of experience and proper planning.
Kitchen Worktop Materials We Supply & Fit
Granite Worktops - Natural Beauty That Lasts
Granite remains popular for good reason. Each slab is unique, just like your family. The natural patterns and colours mean no two kitchens ever look the same. We source our granite from trusted suppliers and handle every aspect of fabrication in-house.
Benefits of granite worktops:
- Heat resistant up to 350°C
- Scratch resistant for daily use
- Easy to clean with just soap and water
- Adds significant value to your home
- Natural antibacterial properties
Quartz Worktops - Engineered Perfection
Quartz worktops offer consistency that natural stone can't match. Made from 93% crushed quartz and 7% polymer resin, these surfaces combine the beauty of stone with modern engineering.
We recently installed stunning white quartz worktops for a young couple in Bessacarr. They chose quartz because they wanted something that looked luxurious but could handle their busy lifestyle. Six months later, it still looks brand new.
Solid Surface Worktops - Seamless Solutions
For contemporary kitchens, solid surface worktops offer unlimited design possibilities. These acrylic-based surfaces can be shaped, curved, and joined invisibly. Perfect for modern open-plan living where the kitchen flows into dining areas.
Kitchen Worktop Installation Process
Getting new worktops fitted should be straightforward. Here's exactly how we handle every project:
Initial Consultation
We visit your home at a time that suits you. No pushy sales tactics - just honest advice about which materials work best for your kitchen and budget. This consultation is completely free, even if you decide not to proceed.
Accurate Measurement and Templating
Using laser measurement tools, we create precise templates. This technology means perfect fits every time, even around awkward corners or appliances.
Professional Installation
Our fitting team arrives on time with all necessary tools. We protect your floors and surrounding surfaces before starting work. Most installations complete in half a day, depending on complexity.
What Does Kitchen Worktop Installation Cost?
Honest pricing starts with understanding your specific needs. Worktop installation cost depends on several factors:
- Material choice (laminate, granite, quartz, solid surface)
- Kitchen size and layout complexity
- Any special cutting requirements
- Removal and disposal of old worktops
Here's what you can expect for a typical Doncaster kitchen:
Laminate worktops: £300-600 including fitting Solid surface worktops: £800-1,500 including fitting
Granite worktops: £1,200-2,500 including fitting Quartz worktops: £1,500-3,000 including fitting
These prices include professional measurement, templating, and installation. We never add hidden costs or surprise charges.
Why Choose Premium Kitchens for Kitchen Surface Installation?
Local Family Business
We're not a national chain with call centres. When you ring, you speak directly to our team. We live and work in Doncaster, so our reputation matters to us personally.
15+ Years Experience
We've fitted thousands of worktops across South Yorkshire. From tiny galley kitchens in Hexthorpe to large family kitchens in Edlington, we've handled every type of installation challenge.
No-Showroom Savings
We don't have expensive showrooms with high overheads. Instead, we bring samples directly to your home. This keeps our costs down, and we pass those savings to you.
Fully Qualified Craftsmen
Our fitting team completed full apprenticeships in their trades. We're not weekend warriors or general handymen - we're specialists who understand the precision required for perfect worktop installation.
How Long Does Worktop Installation Take?
Most homeowners worry about disruption to their daily routine. We understand - your kitchen needs to function for your family.
Typical installation timeline:
- Consultation and measurement: 1 hour
- Fabrication time: 7-10 working days
- Installation day: 3-6 hours depending on complexity
- Total project time: 2-3 weeks from order to completion
Compare this to larger companies who often quote 6-8 weeks. Our local workshop and streamlined process means faster completion without compromising quality.
Kitchen Worktop Fitting Across Doncaster
We cover all areas of Doncaster and surrounding towns:
Doncaster Central Areas: Town centre, Lakeside, Hyde Park North Doncaster: Bentley, Askern, Toll Bar, Carcroft South Doncaster: Balby, Belle Vue, Hexthorpe East Doncaster: Bessacarr, Cantley, Wheatley Hills West Doncaster: Intake, Warmsworth, Edlington

Distance is never an issue. We recently fitted gorgeous granite worktops for a farmhouse kitchen near Finningley, and the installation went just as smoothly as our town centre jobs.
Can You Just Replace Kitchen Worktops?
Absolutely! You don't need a complete kitchen refit to transform your space. Replacing just the worktops is one of the most cost-effective ways to update your kitchen.
We recently helped Margaret from Armthorpe who wanted to modernise her 15-year-old kitchen. New quartz worktops completely changed the look and feel of the space. She saved thousands compared to a full kitchen replacement.
What's Included in Our Worktop Replacement Service:
- Careful removal of existing worktops
- Professional disposal of old materials
- Any necessary plumbing disconnection/reconnection
- Cutting around existing appliances and fixtures
- Sealing and finishing touches
How Do You Choose Between Granite and Quartz Worktops?
This question comes up on every consultation. Both materials are excellent choices, but they suit different lifestyles:
Choose Granite If:
- You love unique, natural patterns
- You want maximum heat resistance
- Traditional or rustic kitchen styles appeal to you
- You don't mind occasional resealing (every 5-10 years)
Choose Quartz If:
- You prefer consistent colours and patterns
- Low maintenance is a priority
- You have a busy family kitchen
- Contemporary styles match your home
There's no wrong choice - both materials will serve your family well for decades.
What About Solid Surface or Laminate Worktops?
Not everyone needs premium stone worktops. We fit plenty of laminate and solid surface worktops for customers with different priorities.
Laminate Worktops offer incredible value. Modern laminates look surprisingly realistic and can mimic granite, wood, or contemporary concrete finishes. Perfect for rental properties or budget-conscious families.
Solid Surface Worktops bridge the gap between laminate and stone. They offer seamless joins, repairable surfaces, and unlimited design flexibility. Popular choice for modern kitchens where clean lines matter.
How Long Do Different Worktop Materials Last?
Investment in quality worktops pays off over time:
- Laminate: 10-15 years with proper care
- Solid Surface: 15-20 years, renewable surface
- Granite: 20-30+ years, often outlasts the kitchen
- Quartz: 25-30+ years, virtually maintenance-free
The Johnson family in Sprotbrough still has granite worktops we fitted 18 years ago. They look almost as good as the day we installed them.
Common Worktop Installation Problems (And How We Avoid Them)
Poor installation causes most worktop problems. Here's what we do differently:
Inaccurate Measurements
The Problem: Gaps, poor fits, visible joints Our Solution: Laser measurement tools and digital templating
Damage During Installation
The Problem: Chipped edges, scratched surfaces Our Solution: Proper lifting equipment and protective materials
Poor Joint Quality
The Problem: Visible seams, gaps that collect dirt Our Solution: Precision cutting and professional adhesives
Inadequate Support
The Problem: Cracking or sagging over time Our Solution: Proper assessment of cabinet structure
Caring for Your New Worktops
Proper care ensures your investment lasts decades:
Daily Cleaning
- Warm soapy water handles most cleaning needs
- Microfibre cloths prevent scratching
- Clean spills promptly to prevent staining
What to Avoid
- Abrasive cleaners on any surface
- Placing hot pans directly on laminate or solid surface
- Using worktops as cutting boards (even granite can chip)
Professional Maintenance
We offer annual maintenance visits for stone worktops. A quick polish and reseal keeps granite looking perfect. Most customers find this unnecessary, but it's available if wanted.
Working Around Your Kitchen Renovation
Many customers worry about coordinating different trades. We work closely with other kitchen professionals to minimise disruption:
Before Worktop Installation:
- Kitchen units must be fully installed and level
- Plumbing and electrical work completed
- Wall tiling finished (we work around existing tiles)
After Worktop Installation:
- Appliance connection and commissioning
- Final decorating touches
- Hardware fitting and adjustments
We've developed good relationships with electricians, plumbers, and decorators across Doncaster. Happy to recommend trusted professionals if needed.
Emergency Worktop Repairs
Sometimes accidents happen. We offer emergency repair services for damaged worktops:
- Chip and crack repairs for stone surfaces
- Burn mark removal from solid surfaces
- Joint repairs and resealing
- Colour matching for solid surface patches
Last winter, we helped a family in New Rossington whose granite worktop cracked during a house move. Emergency repair had them back to normal within 24 hours.
Environmental Considerations
Sustainability matters to many families. Here's how different materials compare:
Granite: Natural material with long lifespan, but quarrying has environmental impact Quartz: Engineered product, but very durable reducing replacement needs Solid Surface: Partially recyclable, repairable extending useful life Laminate: Lower initial environmental impact, but shorter lifespan
We help customers balance environmental concerns with practical needs and budget constraints.
Planning Permission and Building Regulations
Standard worktop replacement rarely requires planning permission or building control approval. However, if you're extending your kitchen or significantly altering the layout, regulations may apply.
We're familiar with Doncaster Council requirements and can advise when professional consultation is needed. Better to check early than face problems later.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a worktop installation?
Allow 3-4 weeks during busy periods (spring and autumn). We can sometimes accommodate rush jobs, but proper planning produces better results.
Do you work weekends or evenings?
Installation typically happens during working hours to minimise noise for neighbours. We can discuss alternative arrangements for special circumstances.
