Granite pricing guide
Granite worktop prices in the UK typically range from £300 to £600 per square metre, including professional installation. Premium and rare granite surfaces can cost £900 per square metre or more, depending on the stone, thickness, finish and fabrication required.
Every granite slab is naturally different, so the final cost of a granite worktop depends on more than the material alone. Kitchen dimensions, edge profiles, sink and hob cut-outs, drainage grooves, upstands, splashbacks and installation requirements can all influence the final quotation.
These figures are intended as general pricing guidance. Your final quotation will depend on the selected granite, project dimensions and fabrication requirements.
Typical granite costs
Granite worktops remain a distinguished choice for homeowners across the United Kingdom. The exact granite worktop cost depends on the type of stone, finish, thickness and fabrication requirements.
For premium or rare granite varieties with distinctive colours, mineral patterns and veining, prices can sit considerably higher than more readily available granite surfaces.
For an accurate project price, StoneSense can prepare a quotation using your kitchen plans or approximate measurements before professional templating takes place.

Price per metre
Granite is commonly priced according to the amount of slab material required for the project, together with the fabrication and installation work involved.
A simple straight worktop will normally require less fabrication than a kitchen with multiple sections, corners, joins, sink cut-outs, hob cut-outs, drainage grooves, upstands or a large island.
Because granite slabs vary naturally in dimensions, pattern and usable area, two kitchens with similar measurements can still require different amounts of material.
For this reason, the most reliable way to establish the cost is to provide kitchen plans, measurements and your preferred granite so the complete project can be assessed.
Understanding your quotation
Rarity, origin, colour, mineral composition and natural veining can significantly affect the price positioning of a granite slab.
Different slab thicknesses affect the amount of stone used as well as the fabrication and handling requirements.
Polished, honed and leathered finishes can require different levels of processing and may affect the overall cost.
Specialist edge profiles, sink cut-outs, hob cut-outs, tap holes and drainage grooves increase fabrication requirements.
Accurate cutting, CNC processing, polishing and hand-finishing contribute to the finished cost of made-to-measure granite worktops.
Imported, limited-availability and highly distinctive granite slabs can command a higher price than more widely available materials.
Additional project costs
Granite worktop prices are calculated using the amount and type of stone required together with the fabrication and installation work involved.
The exact items included within a StoneSense quotation should be confirmed for your individual project, particularly where specialist fabrication or additional stone features are required.
Compare materials
The best-value surface depends on the appearance, technical performance, maintenance requirements and budget you have for your kitchen.
Granite provides the natural character of real stone, while engineered quartz and sintered surfaces offer different combinations of consistency, maintenance and technical performance.
Natural stone with individual mineral patterns, strong heat resistance and variations that make every slab unique.
Engineered surfaces with consistent colours, low porosity and straightforward everyday maintenance.
Compare how material choice, fabrication and kitchen layout can influence the price of quartz worktops.
High-performance surfaces designed for strong resistance to heat, scratching, staining and UV exposure.
From plans to price
Send kitchen plans, approximate measurements or photographs so the overall layout and material requirement can be reviewed.
Select the granite colour, pattern, finish and thickness that best suits your kitchen and budget.
Identify sinks, hobs, tap holes, drainage grooves, edge profiles, upstands, splashbacks and other fabrication requirements.
StoneSense can prepare an initial quotation before final templating and manufacture are arranged.
Project budgeting
The total cost of a granite kitchen depends on the quantity of material required and the complexity of the fabrication rather than a single fixed worktop price.
Example StoneSense kitchen project costs can be added here once the current price ranges and quotation inclusions have been confirmed.
Client pricing confirmation required: this section is intentionally structured without invented example kitchen totals. Once confirmed figures are supplied, examples can be added for small, medium and larger kitchen layouts without changing the page design.
Until then, the most accurate way to understand the likely cost of your project is to request a quotation using your kitchen plans or approximate measurements.

Because every granite slab is naturally different, viewing full-size material before ordering helps you understand the true colour, mineral pattern and movement of the stone.

Frequently asked questions
StoneSense currently provides general guidance of approximately £300 to £600 per square metre for granite worktops, including professional installation. Premium and rare granite can cost £900 per square metre or more depending on the material and project requirements.
The price per square metre depends on the granite selected, slab thickness, finish, availability and the fabrication required for your kitchen. The total project price can also be affected by cut-outs, edge profiles, upstands and splashbacks.
The main factors include the type and rarity of the granite, slab thickness, surface finish, kitchen dimensions, edge profiles, sink and hob cut-outs, additional stone features, fabrication and installation requirements.
Neither material is always more expensive. Granite and quartz both cover a broad range of price points, and the final cost depends on the selected surface, quantity of material, fabrication and installation requirements.
The current StoneSense pricing guidance on this page includes professional installation, but the exact items included in your individual quotation should be confirmed when your project is priced.
Sink cut-outs, hob cut-outs, drainage grooves, tap holes and other specialist fabrication can affect the final quotation because they require additional machining and finishing.
The total price depends on the kitchen layout, amount of granite required and the level of fabrication involved. Providing kitchen plans or approximate measurements is the best way to receive an initial project quotation.
Yes. Kitchen plans and approximate measurements can be used to prepare an initial quotation. Professional templating is normally completed before the worktops are manufactured.
Granite is selected for its natural appearance, individual pattern variation, durability and heat resistance. Whether it is the right choice depends on your budget, design preferences and practical requirements.
