Types of Materials found in Braintree

Quartz is the most popular stone worktop upgrade across CM7 and CM77. Homeowners in Braintree's post-war semis and the newer estate housing who are replacing older laminate or tiled surfaces tend to choose quartz as the first step into stone. Installed prices run from around £320 to £490 per square metre. RC Coppin Ltd at Park Drive Industrial Estate in CM7 covers quartz supply and installation as part of their full stone range and has the strongest review record among the three listed businesses. Granite suits the larger detached properties in the villages around Braintree, particularly in the CM77 area to the west around Rayne and Felsted, where homeowners want the natural variation and heat resistance of real stone. Supreme Surface Solutions at Gould Farm in Rayne CM77 is based in this rural fringe area and covers the wider Braintree and mid-Essex market. Installed granite costs between £280 and £540 per square metre for standard varieties. For the rental market and the budget kitchen sector across Braintree's post-war housing stock, laminate remains the practical choice. A 3 metre board supply-only costs around £100 to £200, with the full fitted job usually coming in at £580 to £1,150. Anglian Stone on Warner Drive CM7 covers worktop surfaces including laminate fitting alongside their stone offer, and is worth contacting for a comparison quote.
