Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Thame

Thame Worktop Information

Thame is a market town in Oxfordshire, on the River Thame, about 13 miles east of Oxford and 10 miles south-west of Aylesbury. The OX9 postcode covers the town and the surrounding villages of the upper Thames valley. Thame is pronounced to rhyme with name. The town has one of the finest market town high streets in the South East, with a wide street lined with timber-framed medieval buildings, Georgian townhouses, and Victorian commercial buildings stretching from the market place to the Prebendal House. John Hampden, the Parliamentary leader whose refusal to pay Ship Money in 1637 helped trigger the English Civil War, died in Thame in 1643 after being wounded at the Battle of Chalgrove. The town is also associated with the rock music industry through the recording studios at Rockfield near Monmouth, though more locally through the Thame Folk Festival which has run for decades. Average house prices in OX9 run well above the Oxfordshire average, driven by excellent road access to London on the M40 and the sought-after South Oxfordshire character.

Types of Materials found in Thame

The Victorian and Edwardian properties in the outer town streets and the standard residential housing across OX9 form a quartz market, but the affluent South Oxfordshire commuter demographic in Thame consistently pushes toward premium specifications. Installed prices run from around £322 to £502 per square metre. Oxford businesses cover OX9 from the west in around 20 minutes via the A418. The timber-framed medieval properties on the High Street, the Georgian townhouses in the market place area, and the larger detached houses in the premium OX9 residential streets are where granite finds its market. The Prebendal House, the finest medieval building in the town, and the surrounding heritage streetscape support granite as a consistent kitchen specification in the older properties. Installed granite costs between £305 and £488 per square metre. The wide High Street of Thame, lined with medieval, Georgian, and Victorian buildings, is among the finest market town streetscapes in the South East. Kitchen renovation in the timber-framed and period properties here is a specialist project and natural stone is the expected material.
