Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Chard

Chard Worktop Information

Chard is a town in Somerset, on the A30 road near the borders with Devon and Dorset, 15 miles south-west of Yeovil. Sitting at 121 metres above sea level, it is one of the highest and most southerly towns in Somerset. The TA20 postcode covers the town and a wide rural area of south Somerset and the Devon border, including Crewkerne to the north-east, Ilminster to the north, and the surrounding village parishes. The town has a long commercial history, including a claim to be the birthplace of powered flight through John Stringfellow's steam-powered model aircraft work in the 1840s. The housing stock spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the older town centre streets and post-war semis and newer development on the outskirts, with the Combe St Nicholas new-build development to the north adding a significant volume of modern family homes.

Removal and disposal of old worktop: Around £71 to £168 added to the fitting job. Stone worktops cost more to remove due to weight.

Types of Materials found in Chard

The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the town centre and the post-war and newer development housing across TA20 form the mainstream quartz market. These are practical homes where quartz suits the kitchen proportions well. Installed prices run from around £297 to £465 per square metre. Yeovil businesses cover TA20 from the north-east in around 20 minutes via the A30. The larger rural properties in the outer TA20 parishes and the farmhouses in the south Somerset and Devon border countryside are where granite finds its market. These properties have more room and a rural character that suits natural stone. Bristol and Exeter businesses also cover the wider Somerset TA postcode area. Installed granite costs between £281 and £447 per square metre. The outer TA20 district covers a wide area of south Somerset countryside between Chard and the Devon border. Farmhouses and rural cottages here have a character that suits granite or natural stone well, particularly in properties with Aga and range cookers where heat resistance from the worktop surface matters practically.
