Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Oswestry

Oswestry Worktop Information

Oswestry is a market town in north Shropshire, close to the Welsh border, about 18 miles north-west of Shrewsbury and 14 miles south-east of Wrexham. SY10 covers the main town and the surrounding rural parishes to the south and east, including Knockin, Llanymynech, and the settlements toward the Shropshire Union Canal. SY11 covers the northern rural area including Gobowen, St Martins, and the parishes approaching the Welsh border toward Chirk. The town is known for the Old Oswestry Hillfort, an Iron Age hillfort of the first millennium BC that is one of the most complex and best-preserved hillforts in Britain, immediately north of the town. Oswestry also has a connection to Wilfred Owen, the First World War poet, who was born in the town in 1893. The housing stock spans Victorian and Edwardian properties in the older town, interwar and post-war semis in the residential areas, and the rural farmhouses and border country cottages of the wide outer SY10 and SY11 area.

Types of Materials found in Oswestry

The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the older town streets and the interwar and post-war semis across the SY10 and SY11 residential areas form the mainstream quartz market. These are practical north Shropshire and Welsh border family homes where quartz suits the kitchen proportions without maintenance. Installed prices run from around £290 to £452 per square metre. Shrewsbury businesses cover SY10 from the south-east in around 25 minutes. The rural farmhouses and border country cottages in the outer SY10 and SY11 area, and the larger properties in the better Oswestry residential streets, are where granite finds its market. Properties in the Gobowen and St Martins direction and those closer to the Welsh border landscapes have a rural character that suits natural stone. Installed granite costs between £272 and £433 per square metre. The outer SY10 rural area near the Old Oswestry Hillfort and the border country between England and Wales has a landscape and building character that suits granite or natural stone in kitchen renovation. The Iron Age hillfort dominates the northern skyline of the town and the surrounding area has a historic character that reinforces the preference for natural materials in the better rural properties.
