Templating

Prior to our visit, there are a few things we will require in preparation. Firstly all the kitchen base units should be fixed; securely, level, true, and in their final position. All related appliances should be on site i.e. Hob, Sink, Taps, Waste disposal switches, Pop-up waste levers. Anything that will be fitted in the granite should be on site. Templating involves a site visit where a member of staff will make a MDF representation, of the required worktops.

If you are having an under-mounted sink, it should be fitted in the sink unit prior to our visit. If you have a particular view on where the tap, drainer, hob or sink should be then please make this clear to our member of staff during the site visit. Proposed position of joins may be discussed during the visit, but can be subject to change. Joins maybe altered due to changes in sheet sizes, or extreme colour variation.

At this point our member of staff can advise you on any extra support, or work that may need to be carried out by your carpenter/kitchen fitter. You will be given time between the templating and the installation to have this work carried out.

It is crucial that the templating is carried out accurately. Therefore we would like to stress how important it is that all the kitchen units, end panels, and any other furniture that will affect the way the granite is fitted should be fixed and in its final position prior to our templating visit.

Also all appliances should be on site; i.e. Hobs, Sinks, Taps, Waste disposal, soap dispensers, brackets for breakfast bars. Absolutely anything that will affect the worktops should be on site so we can check them to avoid problems further down the line.

Any revisits to site, after the templating, due to the above or because of changes affecting the worktops after our visit, will be subject to an additional templating fee.
