I had a professional experience from the first point of contact to the finish of the job. Jay & Jordan are both very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and stick to the agreement. It was a straight forward job, and that's exactly how they handled it. No complications. Handed over a clean and tidy site. Have asked them to quote for another job. I have advised them to bring up their online presence to give potential customers more information about the company.

Russell and Tom are very reliable people who can offer high quality for renovation, tiling, plastering, and, like in our case, kitchen fitting. You can talk openly with them and they can also provide good advice that meets your personal budget and expectations. The job was finished on time, with no delays on their part, and they showed an excellent understanding of our needs. Definitely recommended, especially if you've never hired anyone before and need someone trustworthy for a good job!

What can a laminate kitchen worktop specialist help with?
A professional kitchen fitter possesses the specialised routing jigs, sharp circular saws, and carpentry skills required to install laminate worktops with millimetre precision:
- Seamless corner joints: Using a specialised router and jigs to cut clean, interlocking joints that connect your worktops smoothly in the corners without needing ugly metal strips.
- Sink and hob cut-outs: Measuring and jigsaw-cutting precise structural openings for your sink basin and cooking hob, including applying waterproof sealants to raw chipboard edges to prevent water swelling.
- Edging and face finishing: Applying matching laminate edging strips using high-strength adhesives or iron-on edge bands, neatly trimming down flush for a smooth, un-snagged finish.
- Levelling and secure fixing: Shimming, anchoring, and screwing the worktops securely onto your kitchen base units to ensure a completely flat, structurally solid workspace.

How much does laminate kitchen worktop installation cost?
Laminate worktops are highly cost-effective because the raw materials are affordable and the installation timeline is much faster than solid stone or quartz. Carpenters typically quote fixed project rates for fabrication and fitting:
- Standard straight replacement (labour only): For a simple straight kitchen layout requiring minimal cuts and a basic drop-in sink, installation labour typically ranges from £150 to £300.
- Medium L-shape or U-shape kitchen layout: If your layout requires cutting one or two complex mason’s mitre joints, routing sink holes, and finishing multiple raw edges, labour costs generally range between £300 and £500.
- Affordable material costs: Unlike expensive stone slabs, high-quality post-formed laminate worktops can be purchased from major suppliers for just £60 to £150 per length, keeping your total renovation budget highly manageable.
What is the difference between standard square-edge and post-formed laminate worktops?
When choosing laminate surfaces, you will generally pick between two main profile designs, which alter both the visual style and water-resistance properties:
- Post-formed laminate worktops: These feature a laminate sheet that wraps completely over the front edge of the chipboard core in a continuous curve. Because there is no visible seam or joint along the top front edge, they are highly affordable, traditional, and offer excellent protection against spills dripping over the front lip.
- Square-edge laminate worktops: These are cut flush to a sharp 90∘ angle, with a separate matching laminate or contrasting acrylic strip applied directly to the front face. They offer a highly modern, sleek aesthetic that closely mimics the block appearance of real solid timber or slab stone. They require precise adhesive application by your installer to guarantee the edge remains completely watertight over time.

Other laminate kitchen worktop FAQ's
Why is it critical to hire a professional to cut a laminate worktop joint?
Amateur DIY installations often rely on metal connecting strips to join two pieces of laminate worktop in a corner, which trap dirt and look dated. A professional carpenter uses a specialised router jig to cut an interlocking "mason's mitre" joint underneath the surface. This pulls the two pieces tight together using hidden tension bolts, creating a flat, nearly invisible line that keeps water out.
How do specialists protect laminate worktops from moisture damage?
The core of a standard laminate worktop is made of compressed high-density chipboard. If water breaches the top laminate layer, the core will absorb moisture, swell up, and buckle the surface permanently. Specialists protect against this by packing all raw cutouts (such as underneath hobs and sinks) with heavy layers of clear silicone sealer or specialised waterproofing paint before dropping the appliances in.
What credentials and insurance should my kitchen fitter hold?
There are no mandatory regulatory licenses required for fitting worktops. However, look for experienced tradespeople holding an NVQ or City & Guilds qualification in Site Carpentry or Joinery. Crucially, ensure they carry valid Public Liability Insurance to protect your expensive kitchen units and appliances from any accidental damage during routing or cutting.

We had our wooden back door replaced for a new uPVC one on 21/10/11 and were very pleased with the job. Communication was excellent - he came and measured the door and provided a price the following day, which was very competitive, as well as a choice of installation dates. Very punctual and tidy, completing the job in a few hours and taking the old door away leaving no mess. We've since requested a quote for new windows which seemed very reasonable. Would recommend.

was a bit premature with my review, it is now March and job was started in Nov/Dec. Still waiting for edging to be attached to worktops, after being told they would be done about 4 weeks ago. My wife stayed in all day, but no show and no message or apology. Also wasn't consulted about which way the pelmets were fitted, although there was someone in the house all day. Consequently had to buy extra pelmet so they could be done again, no apology and refused to give the cost of the pelmet. Communication poor.
