Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Newton Abbot

Newton Abbot Worktop Information

Newton Abbot is a market town in the Teignbridge district of Devon, on the River Teign, about 14 miles south of Exeter and 4 miles inland from the Teignmouth coast. The TQ12 postcode covers the town and the surrounding parishes of the Teign valley and the south Devon countryside. Newton Abbot grew rapidly in the Victorian era as the home of the South Devon Railway locomotive works, which later became a major engine shed retained to service British Railways diesel locomotives until 1981 and now houses the Brunel industrial estate. The town has a Victorian commercial character around the Market Square and the Courtenay Street shopping area. Newton Abbot Racecourse, the most westerly National Hunt racecourse in England, is on the edge of the town. The town serves as a major retail and service centre for the Teignbridge district. Average house prices in TQ12 run below the south Devon average, reflecting Newton Abbot's market town character rather than the coastal and Dartmoor premium of the surrounding area.

Types of Materials found in Newton Abbot

The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the older town streets and the post-war and standard residential housing across TQ12 form the mainstream quartz market. These are practical south Devon family homes where quartz suits the kitchen proportions without maintenance. Installed prices run from around £302 to £473 per square metre. Exeter businesses cover TQ12 from the north via the A38 in around 20 minutes. The larger rural farmhouses and period properties in the outer TQ12 Teign valley and the south Devon countryside, and the larger detached houses at the top of the Newton Abbot residential market, are where granite finds its market. Installed granite costs between £284 and £453 per square metre. The outer TQ12 area includes the Teign valley and the approaches to Dartmoor National Park. Farmhouses and rural properties in the Teign gorge direction and toward the Dartmoor fringe have a south Devon agricultural character that suits granite or natural stone in kitchen renovation.
