We are now getting into the finer points of the extension and have started the kitchen layout. Went to the local kitchen guys and when asked what worktop we wanted we didn't know.

We know what we don't want, we don't want wood, granite, corian or laminate.

But then what else is out there and what sort of prices would I be looking at.

Heard of something new today called Silestone, the lady at the store said it was what we should get. But we have not gotten down to prices yet.

We want the worktop to look expensive without costing that much! Something that is hard wearing, not easily stained and something that doesn't need maintenance.

Should have mentioned, we are thinking about having a shaker style kitchen, so maybe concrete would be too modern looking.

What exactly is Silestone btw? Is it just branded Quartz? And lets say I decide on Silestone or quartz. Is there a place people recommend here I go to buy it? So far my garage door and extension doors and windows are coming from fellow PH members. So anyone on here know or do worktops?

Sorry should have mentioned we are based in Watford, so anyone that serves London should work.

Singlecoil has already made a local suggestion.
Did exactly that. Handed my business to Manimpex.
