What is Starel Slab Showroom and how does it work?
Starel Slab Showroom at Merlin Quay, Hazel Road, Woolston SO19 is a stone slab display facility where you can view full-size stone slabs before choosing. Unlike a standard fabricator, they show you the actual slab that will be cut for your worktop. This is useful for premium stones where slab-to-slab variation matters. After choosing your stone at Starel, you would then arrange installation through a local fabricator.
Is quartz or granite better for a Southampton Victorian terrace?
For the Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the inner SO14 and SO15 postcodes, quartz is the practical choice. These kitchens have standard proportions and quartz suits them without the annual sealing commitment. Granite is worth considering in the larger properties in the outer suburbs and the Hampshire villages surrounding the city where the kitchen layout is more generous.

How long does a stone worktop installation take in Southampton?
Stone jobs run over 2 visits. The fabricator visits first to take a precise template, then the slab is cut at the workshop over a few days, and the second visit is the fitting. With eight businesses across the SO postcode area, most Southampton homeowners can find a local fabricator within a short drive. Laminate can usually be done in a single day.
