UK Granite & Quartz

Granite and quartz worktops made in Manchester

UK Granite & Quartz is a family-run business with a workshop and showroom in Heywood, in the Manchester area, dedicated to the design, cutting, supply and installation of stone kitchen worktops. The company presents itself as a local business that began as kitchen fitters before specialising in granite and quartz surfaces, and today serves projects in Manchester and across the North West of England.

Its offering is built around two main materials: quartz, which they describe as a surface balancing beauty and strength, and granite, which they present as a stone unique in every piece, carved by nature and finished by hand. The range also includes marble, as reflected in the answers to frequently asked questions and the pieces displayed in their showroom.

Working process: templating, cutting and installation

The company controls the entire process, from design to final fitting. The starting point is templating at the customer's home, carried out once the kitchen units are installed, using a Prodim 7cs templating machine. From that measurement, the stone is cut using a Donatoni jet machine and an Intermac Master CNC machine, equipment the company describes as part of its commitment to guaranteeing a precise fit.

In addition to the full supply and installation service, they offer a supply-only option: the customer can provide measurements or a plan and the company cuts the stone to size, with delivery on the agreed date. In that case they also recommend booking a templating appointment with the Prodim team to ensure an exact measurement.

Showroom in Heywood

The company has a showroom in Heywood where customers can see up close a wide range of granite and quartz colours, edge profiles and finishes, as well as marble worktops already installed. Visits are by appointment and the team helps the customer choose the piece according to their style and budget.

Lead times and quotes

Lead times vary depending on the size of the project and the type of stone. The company states that its average response time for Manchester customers is between three and five working days after templating. As for price, they note that because these are bespoke projects they cannot give an exact figure until measurements are available, and they say they are competitive against genuine quotes in the industry.

Projects and customer reviews

The website includes examples of completed work, including a quartz worktop installed in a modern Manchester kitchen with a continuous grain join, and a white quartz installation with soft veining in Bury, integrated into a renovated kitchen that combines contemporary surfaces with period features. It also includes testimonials from customers in Manchester and Bury who highlight punctuality in measuring and fitting, precision of work and the result of the worktops and upstands.

Informative content

The company publishes articles aimed at those planning a kitchen renovation, with topics such as the maintenance and cleaning of white quartz worktops, the differences between polished and honed granite, and matching worktops and splashbacks.
