Granite worktops off-cuts

In the course of fabricating first quality granite worktops we end up with a lot of granite off-cuts. For example say we have a customer who wants a granite that we don't have in stock. To make their worktops we need one and a half big slabs of granite. We have to buy in two slabs to do the job. We are then left with half a slab. A few months later we get another job in the same granite and again we need one and a half slabs, but our supplier has sold all of the last block we had and we have to buy two slabs from the new block otherwise the colour won't match. Now we end up with more off-cuts. The same goes for quartz engineered stone worktops.

We literally have tonnes of off-cuts in our yard with absolutely nothing wrong with them. As granites are on average 300-400 million years old a few years sat in our yard is not going to affect them.

These granite off-cuts are ideal for smaller jobs such as window sills, fireplace hearths, small tables, vanity tops etc. We are now doing a special offer on the off-cuts just to try and clear some space in our yard. Take a look, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
