Quartz worktops and kitchen islands in Wimbledon
Wimbledon has two characters: the village up the hill beside the Common, with its larger detached houses, and the busier town around the station with Victorian terraces and modern apartments. Across both, many kitchens are family rooms that have been extended to take in a garden view. For SW19 and SW20 homes, KT Stone provides quartz, granite, marble and porcelain worktops and island tops, each cut to fit.
Extended family kitchens
A rear or side extension usually creates a kitchen-diner with room for an island and a long run of units. That's a lot of worktop, and it will see everything from Saturday baking to homework. Quartz is popular in these rooms for its strength and even colour across large surfaces, while granite offers the same practicality with natural patterning.
Islands that do more than look good
In an extended kitchen the island often carries the hob or the sink, faces the garden and seats the family. Plan the cut-outs first. A hob in the island means thinking about extraction, and a sink means plumbing, and both affect where the stone can join. Seating needs an overhang deep enough for knees.
Utility rooms and boot rooms
Many Wimbledon houses have a separate utility room for laundry, muddy boots and sports kit. A matching or simpler stone worktop there gives a hard-wearing surface. It can be added to the same enquiry, so it's measured and quoted with the kitchen.
Drainer grooves, tap holes and the working details
Drainer grooves cut into the worktop beside the sink give you a draining area without a separate board. Choose how many grooves you want. Tap holes can be positioned to suit the design. Sink styles include undermount, overmount and flush-mount, each with its own look and cleaning routine. All of these can be priced in the calculator.
Terraces near the town centre
Around the station and down towards South Wimbledon, Victorian and Edwardian terraces have narrower kitchens than the houses by the Common, often a galley that opens to a dining room. Here the priority is usable surface: a continuous run, an undermount sink, and a clear stretch beside the hob for preparation.
Nearby areas
Wimbledon Common connects to Putney Heath to the north, and Richmond lies beyond Richmond Park to the west.
Project ideas
The KT Stone projects gallery includes a white quartz kitchen in London with a central island cut to take a hob or sink.
Wimbledon enquiries are handled from our Minerva Road base in north-west London; KT Stone has no office or workshop in SW19.
Worktops, islands and bathrooms in SW19
Every kitchen worktop is specified around your design and budget. Island tops can include hob or sink cut-outs and seating. For bathrooms, see bathrooms and vanities.
Choosing for a busy household
Quartz: strong, consistent and easy to clean. Granite: durable natural stone that hides everyday marks well. Marble: beautiful and individual, better suited to careful use. Compare the three in Stone Selection.
Pricing a kitchen with an island
In the calculator on Get Your Free Quote, choose a layout with an island and enter each piece, then add sinks, hob, drainer grooves, upstands and splashback. That produces an estimate, confirmed following a site survey. After templating, the worktops and island are cut and fitted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you do a utility-room worktop at the same time as the kitchen?
Yes. Include it in your enquiry so it’s surveyed and quoted with the kitchen.
How many drainer grooves can I have?
You choose the number when you add drainer grooves in the calculator. It’s recorded for fabrication and priced accordingly.
Is it a problem to put the hob in the island?
Not at all. It’s common. Plan extraction early, and add the hob cut-out to your estimate.
Which layouts can I price online?
The calculator covers one-piece, L-shaped and U-shaped kitchens, each with or without an island.
Can I try a sample at home?
Yes, request one from Request a Sample.
