Faversham Worktop Information
Faversham is a market town in the Swale district of Kent, sitting roughly 8 miles from Sittingbourne and 10 miles west of Canterbury along the A2. The housing stock leans towards older terraces in the town centre and larger detached properties on the edges, with some rural conversions in the villages around Selling and Boughton-under-Blean. Dawson Stone operates from Lamberhurst Farm in Dargate, just outside town in ME13 9EP, and covers the wider Faversham area for stone worktops. The rural workshop location gives the kind of fabrication space a town centre unit simply could not offer.

These figures are estimated ranges based on current UK trade pricing and published cost guides from Checkatrade and MyBuilder (July 2026).

Quartz or granite: £1,500 to £3,800 for a standard kitchen run. Rural locations around Faversham occasionally attract a small travel supplement, so it is worth confirming this when requesting a quote.

Stone replacement on existing carcasses, fully fitted, starts around £800 to £1,400. Worktop repair (chip, crack or scratch resurfacing) Minor laminate repair: £80 to £140.

Types of Materials found in Faversham
Quartz Worktops in Faversham Quartz is the most requested stone worktop material across Kent, and Faversham is no different. It is non-porous, does not need annual sealing, and holds its finish well in kitchens that get heavy use. Installed prices across the Faversham area run from around £350 to £550 per square metre, depending on the brand and slab pattern. Dawson Stone at Lamberhurst Farm is the locally listed specialist covering ME13, and their workshop setup means fabrication and templating is handled in-house rather than outsourced. Granite Worktops in Faversham Granite suits the older, more traditional properties around Faversham well. Detached homes in the villages around Selling and Hernhill often have larger kitchen runs where the natural variation in granite looks genuinely good. Installed granite costs between £300 and £600 per square metre for standard varieties. It does need sealing, typically once a year, but will outlast most kitchens when cared for. Dawson Stone covers granite as part of their stone range for ME13. Laminate Worktops in Faversham For buy-to-let landlords and budget kitchen refreshes around Faversham, 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 £600 to £1,100. The town has a mix of older terraces and smaller cottages where a stone worktop is not always the right call on budget or practicality. Modern laminate in a stone-effect finish does a reasonable job in these kitchens.

Frequently asked questions FAQ
What worktop material works best in older Faversham properties?
Older terraces and cottages in and around Faversham can have slightly uneven worktop runs and non-standard kitchen depths. Laminate handles this better than stone because it is easier to scribe to an uneven wall. If you want stone, a good fabricator will take a careful template on site and account for any variation. The key is not skipping the templating step.
How do I get an accurate worktop quote in Faversham?
The most reliable approach is to invite a fabricator to template in person rather than relying on measurements you supply yourself. Dawson Stone at Lamberhurst Farm covers ME13 and can visit your home to take an accurate site template before cutting anything. This avoids costly mistakes on stone jobs where material is expensive and cuts are permanent.
Is 20mm or 30mm stone the right choice for my kitchen?
For most Faversham kitchens, 20mm is the more practical choice. It is lighter, which matters in older properties where carcasses may not be built to modern standards, and the cost is lower. 30mm looks more substantial and suits a kitchen island or peninsula where the edge is on show. Ask your fabricator when they come to template if you are unsure.
Can a stone worktop be repaired if it chips?
Small chips and surface scratches on quartz or granite can usually be filled and polished by a stone specialist, and the repair is often hard to spot afterwards. Larger cracks are harder to restore well and the repair may still be visible. It is worth getting a repair quote before assuming you need a full replacement, especially on a relatively new installation.
How long does a worktop installation take in the Faversham area?
Stone worktop jobs typically run over 2 visits. The first is a template visit, then the slab is cut at the workshop over a few days. The second visit is the fitting itself. Laminate can usually be measured and fitted in a single day. Dawson Stone is based locally in Dargate so travel time between visits is short.
