What makes the difference

A countertop with its own natural signature

Granite is not printed to look like stone. It is stone — with mineral movement, depth and variation that make each slab individual.

At Palazzo Stone, we help you choose a practical, attractive granite surface for your kitchen, island, utility room or interior project. We coordinate the measurements, fabrication and fitting so the finished result suits the space.

Budgeting with confidence

What determines granite countertop cost?

There is no reliable single price for every granite kitchen. The quotation depends on your measurements, selected slab and the work required to finish and install it.

Send us a kitchen plan or approximate dimensions for a tailored estimate. We can discuss where a simpler layout or edge profile may help manage the budget.

  • Granite selectionDifferent colours, patterns and slab grades carry different material costs.
  • Surface dimensionsOverall length, depth and number of pieces influence material use.
  • Cut-outs and detailsSink, hob, drainer grooves, upstands and special edges affect fabrication.
  • Access and fittingInstallation complexity, site access and handling requirements also matter.
Practical guidance

Beautiful stone, sensible care

Granite is heat-resistant, not indestructible

Although granite tolerates heat well, trivets are sensible for very hot cookware, especially around joins and sealants. Use a chopping board to protect your knives and the surface.

Cleaning and sealing

For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth and a stone-appropriate mild cleaner. Some granite needs periodic sealing; the correct approach depends on the stone and finish.

Still deciding between materials? See our quartz worktops or marble worktops for alternative looks and care requirements.

Questions customers ask

Granite countertop FAQs

Are granite countertops suitable for busy family kitchens?

Yes. Granite is a durable natural stone that suits everyday cooking and food preparation when correctly installed and maintained.

Can you match an island to the main worktops?

We can discuss using coordinating stone and planning the slab layout. Natural variation means exact pattern matching cannot always be guaranteed.

How long does templating and installation take?

Timing depends on material availability, kitchen readiness, fabrication requirements and fitting schedules. We will discuss an estimated timeline for your specific order.

Can you supply cut-to-size pieces?

Yes, we can discuss bespoke cut-to-size granite for suitable projects. See our cut-to-size stone service.

Do I need to seal granite?

Some granite types benefit from sealing while others are less absorbent. We can advise on the requirements for your chosen material.

Can I request a quote without exact measurements?

Yes. Approximate dimensions, a kitchen plan or photographs can help us prepare an initial estimate; final measurements may be needed before fabrication.
