Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Paignton

Paignton Worktop Information

Paignton is a seaside resort town on Torbay, in the Torbay unitary authority of Devon, about 2 miles south-west of Torquay and 6 miles north-east of Brixham. TQ3 covers the northern part of the town including the Roundham and Preston areas. TQ4 covers the southern and inland areas including Goodrington and the settlements toward Churston Ferrers. The town is part of the English Riviera resort area alongside Torquay and Brixham. The Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway, a preserved narrow-gauge steam railway, runs from Paignton station along the Torbay coast to Kingswear on the Dart estuary, one of the most scenic railway journeys in England. Paignton Zoo, one of the largest in the south-west, is on the edge of the town. The housing stock spans Victorian and Edwardian seaside resort terraces and villas in the older parts, post-war semis and bungalows in the residential outer areas, and a significant holiday let and retirement market. Average house prices in TQ3 and TQ4 run below the south Devon average, making Paignton one of the more affordable coastal Devon markets.

Types of Materials found in Paignton

The post-war bungalows and semis that form a large proportion of the TQ3 and TQ4 residential and retirement stock, and the Victorian and Edwardian seaside terraces, form the mainstream quartz market. The retirement and holiday let market in Paignton drives consistent quartz demand, as property owners completing final renovations or upgrading holiday let kitchens choose a durable, no-maintenance surface. Installed prices run from around £297 to £465 per square metre. Torquay businesses are immediately adjacent to TQ3 and TQ4. The larger Victorian and Edwardian seaside villas in the better TQ3 and TQ4 residential streets, and any property with sea views or a premium coastal position, are where granite finds its Paignton market. Installed granite costs between £281 and £447 per square metre. The properties with direct sea views on the Torbay seafront and in the Goodrington direction have a coastal character that supports granite or natural stone over laminate in the better-specified renovation projects. The holiday let market in these areas also benefits from a stone kitchen specification that commands higher rental rates.
