Granite Worktops
Granite is one of the most enduring choices for a kitchen worktop, prized for its natural beauty, strength and the way it ages without losing its character. Every slab is unique, formed by nature over millions of years, so no two granite worktops are ever quite the same.
At Granite Installation, we supply, template and fit granite worktops for kitchens across the North East and nationwide, direct from our Darlington base — with no subcontracting. Our founder Steven Luck brings nearly 20 years of experience fabricating and fitting stone for premium kitchen brands, and that same craftsmanship goes into every granite worktop we install.
Naturally Beautiful
No two pieces of granite are identical. Formed from natural minerals over millennia, each slab carries its own pattern and depth of colour, giving your kitchen a genuinely one-of-a-kind worktop.
Exceptionally Durable
Granite is one of the hardest natural stones used in kitchens. It resists scratches, chips and everyday wear far better than most alternatives, and with proper care will easily last the lifetime of your kitchen.
Heat Resistant
Granite can withstand direct heat far better than laminate or wood, making it a practical choice for busy kitchens — though we'd still recommend a trivet for very hot pans.
Adds Real Property Value
As a premium natural stone, granite is consistently associated with higher-end kitchens. It's a worktop material that adds to a home's resale appeal rather than dating it.
Wide Range of Colours
From deep blacks and greys to warmer golds and blues, granite is available in a huge range of colours and polished, honed or leathered finishes to suit any kitchen style.
Low Maintenance
Sealed granite is non-porous and simple to keep clean with warm water and mild detergent — no special products required, and no ongoing treatment beyond an occasional reseal.

Granite Worktop Fitting & Aftercare
Granite is extremely heavy and needs precise templating and handling, which is why professional installation matters. Our team template your kitchen on-site, fabricate the granite to an exact fit off-site, and install it — typically within 5 working days of templating.
To keep your granite worktop looking its best, avoid placing very hot pans directly on the surface, use a chopping board to protect against knife marks, and wipe up acidic spills (wine, citrus) promptly. With sensible care, a granite worktop will comfortably outlast the kitchen around it.
