As part of channel 4's "4 homes" season, Worktop Express were especially selected to provide a full set of fabricated worktops to Paul and Claire Baker. Their house in Brentwood, Essex, was in dire need of renovation and our oak worktops were their first choice to provide the transformation that was required. After liaising with Kirsten Plume, our fabrication manager, the worktop plan was finalised, and six oak worktops of a moderately complex design were delivered fully finished, complete with various butt joints, radius corners, cut-outs and drainage grooves. Please tune in to channel 4 on Tuesday 17th August at 20:00pm to view the full episode.

"We cannot thank you enough for the high quality work surfaces that you provided to enable us to complete the Kitchen for Channel 4’s Help! My House Is Falling Down.

The quality of the engineering and the ease at which I was able to fit these was exceptional. Not being a kitchen fitter or carpenter the idea of installing work surfaces was pretty daunting. So much easier to get this from a large chain DIY store i thought.

How wrong i was! Since receiving the aged oak work tops from Worktop Express I would definitely say to anyone not to be put off. They are the easiest work surface to keep looking clean and tidy and any scratches or marks are easily removed by sanding down and re-oiling. They look beautiful and really finish the kitchen off beautifully.

The most critical part of the fitting was making sure the measurements were correct. This done the worktops arrived, treated and cut to perfection. The fitting was quick and easy and the pre cut grooves under the surfaces enabled me to pull and fix joints of the worktops together quickly and efficiently leaving a finish I would expect from a seasoned tradesman!

Hope you enjoyed the show and thanks again. I shall definitely recommend your products in the future."
