At universal granite we pride ourselves on importing the finest granite for your kitchen worktops from around the world, we specialise in colours such as star galaxy granite worktops and black granite worktops, for your granite worktops we will supply only the best quality granite worktops money can buy.

Granite for worktops does not have to be expensive as long as certain rules are applied to the buying granite worktop process, with any granite worktop supplier you must insist on a real granite sample so you can see the quality of what is being supplied.

We all know that a granite worktop is a natural granite product but that does not mean you have sacrifice quality, some cheap granite worktops can be the most stunning, when we purchase granite from mines we, like you want the very best granite for our money, and we employ the best granite brains in the industry, we have found that buying granite worktops from countries such as India granite if you try to offer very little money for the granite you will just end up with bad quality, but if you pay a fair price you will get the better quality granite worktops.


Here you can find my top 10 tips for buying granite worktops for a kitchen.

1 - If your granite supplier does not know about how to spot good and bad quality granite then you do not have a chance.

2 - Ask where the granite is from as granite is mined in specific areas around the world, if they cannot tell you the origin then they do not know their shop !

3 - Always give an accurate plan as it will get you an accurate cost.

4 - Try and visit the supplier, scruffy factory - scruffy job, simple.

5 - Ask for what the plus and minus points are for the specific granite you are buying.

6 - Ask if they seal the granite, great question to catch out the suppliers with very little knowledge, you cannot seal absolute black granite and star galaxy granite, the 2 most popular granites in the UK, they are too dense, fact !

7 - Ask if they "cut on site", if they say yes beware, there are some things that can be done on site like hob cut out, unpolished sink cut out, and some that should be done in a factory on accurate machinery IE arches and under mount sink cut outs drainer grooves, don't confuse cut on site with cut in kitchen, 2 different things.

8 - Ask if they are using scant or blanks, scant always works out expensive as its the old way of processing, blanks are already processed and only need to be trimmed to size back and sides, regardless what they say time really has moved on, we no longer rely on £200,000 worth of machines to achieve the perfect outcome.

9 - Ask if they template or survey ?, this will all depend on the project in question, some projects are very simple which have straight walls and basic cut outs like an unpolished sink and hob with straight edges, they do not require a template and only a survey, if the project is more intricate then a template must be insisted on, things like under mount sink cut outs, drainer grooves, shaping etc, remember it all costs money, your money !

10 - This is my most important tip, ask for a sample of the granite of your choice as the quality can change from company to company, if you are happy with the quality then it does not matter what anyone else thinks as it is your kitchen, and make sure that the sample you receive is a true representation of the end product.
