Your kitchen worktop will make or break your kitchen.  It is an installation that will be an integral part of your kitchen on a daily basis and is likely to not change for years to come. With this in mind, it is important for you to ensure you get it right the first time and not only do you want it to look great, but you will want the best price. To help you in your search for a new kitchen worktop we have put together a list of the three keys rules to consider when hunting for the perfect worktop!The first and most important step is to know what you want from your kitchen worktop. There are a wide variety of materials your worktop can be made from such as granite, quartz, ceramic, glass, wood- the list goes on. You will want to consider how the worktop will be used and how durable you require it to be. Understanding the price of different materials is also key in getting the most out of your money. Specialist worktops such as Corian will drastically increase the price when you could get a similar design for less money with a different material.Once you know what you are looking for the next step is to do some research and look around for quotes from different worktop installers. Whilst it may be tempting to go with the cheapest quote you find, it is important to look into how long the company has been operating, the reputation and most importantly their customer reviews. Any reputable company will be more than happy to provide you with recent reviews from customers but in most cases, you will find the most honest reviews on their Google review page.Finally, if you are drawn to the most cost-effective provider you may want to think of the longevity of the worktop. If the installer is not providing you with quality assured materials, you will find that your kitchen worktop will begin to show signs of wear and damage in a matter of years meaning it may cost you more to replace it in the long term than investing the initial money into a quality product.
