Where to get a cheap/free offcut of worktop?
Discussion
I'm refitting a small bathroom and need a length of worktop just 670mm wide on which to mount one of them oh-so-trendy countertop sinks. Trying to avoid buying a full length just for this short section, not only would it be a waste of money but to bring a 2 metre+ length of worktop home means having to get my hands on a van!
Does anyone know of anywhere around Doncaster/Selby/York/Hull where I might find such an offcut? I thought there'd be shedloads of the things on eBay but it appears not; I'm not even that arsed about colour, it's going in a bathroom with cream walls, dark grey/black floor and white fittings so white, cream, dark grey or black are all good.
If anyone's got summat suitable in their shed I'm sure a swap for beer can be arranged!
Ta,
Jonny

Last time I tried to join the local Freecycle group (on Yahoo) it took a fortnight for 'em to tell me that my application had been rejected, with no reason given! Twunts!
Tried eBay, found sod all of any use in the local area.
Haven't seen the offcuts in B&Q before, will have a gander next time I'm passing an orange emporium!

Useless I know, but there's a place selling mostly offcuts near me...
So back to basics. Who produces worktop offcuts? People who fit kitchens. So ring up a few people who fit kitchens and ask
That did occur to me, just have a sneaking suspicion that yer average kitchen fitter won't be overly chuffed at me ringing up essentially on the scrounge! So back to basics. Who produces worktop offcuts? People who fit kitchens. So ring up a few people who fit kitchens and ask
although it's a handy if-all-else-fails option Dave_s13, Goochie and GTS Dave, ta for all your offers!
Think I'll give granite a miss, much as I'd like to have my sink standing on real granite I suspect it'd take something a bit heavier-duty than my wee angle grinder to cut the stuff to size! And sadly a trip to the south coast would be a touch impratical
Dave_s13, I may well take you up on your kind offer if nothing comes up locally - but will have to lay my hands on a van to shift it. (BTW, if I end up taking your worktop, let me know beforehand what your preferred beer is )
