Granite template checklist!

The following criteria must be met before templating can be booked in:

1. All base units must be fixed and in their final position.
2. The units should be level to within 3mm.
3. All end panels must be on.
4. All hobs, range, sinks & taps etc must be on site. (Unless Affordable Granite are supplying the sink)
5. Any plastering must be completed.
6. Temporary worktops (if installed) removed.

N.B. Affordable Granite does not undertake any electrics, plumbing or gas installation so you will need to make the necessary arrangements with the relevant organizations for the disconnection and reconnection  of services.

Will Affordable Granite template?

When do we template prior to installation and when do we template & install in the same visit?

In the vast marjorty of cases we will template a couple of days before installation but this is generally decided depending on the distance of the installation from our Warehouse in Charlwood, Surrey. The further the distance the more likely we are to do it all in one visit. We are also less likely to template prior to installation if there are no polished cut outs involved.

The quality of the finished installation is not affected because we can bring all the necessary machinery to site. We may ask for a few additional measurements so we can pre-fabricate some of the more time-consuming elements before coming e.g. polished sink cut outs. In this case we would fabricate it in such a way that the slab was larger than necessary so that we could trim to fit on site – so don’t worry your measurements will not be critical.
