Wooden Worktops Cut to Size

We use HABiol - an industrial grade oil - to pre-oil our worktops, coating the top, bottom, sides and ends of the surface. This provides the work surfaces with a strong, resistant finish and is required for worktops with any other bespoke services applied.

To keep your wooden worktops in optimal condition, subsequent coats of oil will need to be applied after delivery - as it acclimatises to its new environment - and after installation. We recommend using our own blend of Danish oil for this, as it is compatible with the HABiol we use in our specialist machinery. Rustin's Danish oil is also suitable, and we include this in our worktop maintenance kit, which has everything you need to treat your surfaces upon arrival.

If you need your kitchen worktops cut-to-size, we offer a worktop cutting service that will ensure your surfaces meet your size requirements. Our professional service can cut both the width and the length to achieve the precise dimensions required, and the cut edge will also be refinished.

To ensure an accurate cut, our Homag saw blades are serviced weekly

A Belfast sink is a popular option with a solid wood work surface and we can cut yours to accommodate any size of sink, creating a bespoke template for every order. The inside top edge of the worktop will be profiled to allow for drainage, unless requested otherwise.

We can cut wooden worktops to accommodate overmounted sinks - simply supply us with the dimensions and we will take care of the rest.

For stability, we recommend at least 100mm is left between the end of the worktop and the start of the aperture.

Provide us with the measurements and we can cut solid wood worktops to fit any undermounted sink.

The top edge of the cut-out will be profiled to allow for adequate water drainage unless otherwise requested.

Apertures for built-in hobs can be routed to any size, so we can provide cut-out for hobs from a wide variety of brands.

We will also cut the inside corners square if required.

We highly recommend leaving a 100mm gap between the edge of the cut-out and the end of the worktop, to ensure that the strength and stability of the worktop is not compromised.

Every kitchen is unique, and our irregular cut-out service accommodates this.

Whether you require cut-outs for lights, electrical sockets, extractor fans or extruding walls or beams, our fabrication team are able to cut to exact dimensions.

A diagonal cut from any two points on a work surface, tapered cuts can be used for a multitude of reasons.

Ideal for an unusually shaped kitchen, these cuts could also be used to create a striking feature in your kitchen - perhaps as part of a breakfast bar, peninsula or island.

The standard tap hole diameter is 35mm, but there are other sizes available in. Let us know the required diameter and we will cut your wooden worktops to accommodate.

We always cut slightly larger than required to allow for the natural contraction and expansion of solid wood.

Ellipse ends provide a sleek semi-circular end on a solid wood worktop, perfect for breakfast bars, peninsulas or islands. We can cut worktops to any radius, just let us know what you need.

Wooden kitchen worktops can be cut to precisely match any kitchen doors with radius corners, creating an even, smooth, streamlined finish.

We can cut to standard supplied manufacturer's radii, or bespoke sizes if required. Radius corners can also be added to the end of a row of units to provide a softer, safe finish - particularly beneficial when young children are a concern.

Straight drainage grooves Fan drainage grooves Fountain drainage grooves

Drainage grooves are an attractive addition to any solid wood worktop, and we highly recommended choosing at least one set of drainage grooves when opting for an undermounted or Belfast sink.

We offer three configuration options for our drainage grooves - fan, fountain and straight - all tapered to ensure drainage is effective. Our drainage grooves are routed in sets of 6 and the standard length is 450mm, although we can accommodate longer or shorter lengths if required.

Solid wood kitchen worktops should only be joined with a standard butt joint. Our fabrication team will rout three apertures for worktop connector bolts to the underside of both worktops.

Once the worktops arrive on site, you will simply have to bolt the worktops together by tightening three worktop connector bolts (supplied).

We recommend inserting a worktop sealant between the worktops when joining to create a water-resistant join.

'Diamond' hotrod formation'Linear' hotrod formation

Stainless steel hotrods create an elegant yet practical pan stand.

Our fabrication team will rout apertures in a choice of formations: either in a 'diamond' or 'linear' shape, ready for the installation of a stainless steel hotrod set (supplied).

The hotrods can be left to sit in the recess, allowing easy cleaning, alternatively you can fix the hotrods in place with a sealant or adhesive if preferred.

Alternatively if you would like a bespoke hotrod formation, please contact us for a quote.

End caps should be used when installing wooden worktops adjacent to freestanding ovens (Rangemaster, Aga, Rayburn etc).

End caps are created by cutting a worktop across the width, and then joining the offcut to the end of the worktop in question. This conceals the end grain, preventing this section from drying out and splitting over time as a result of prolonged exposure to excessive heat.

Worktop end caps also portray a "finished" look and are sometime requested purely as a feature.

Standard end cap width is 40mm and full stave end cap width is 90mm, although bespoke sizes can also be created if required.

If you would like to incorporate one of our standalone WEX Wireless Worktop Chargers into your wooden worktop to create an invisible charging solution, please select this option.

Our team will cut an 80mm diameter recess into the underside of the worktop into which one of our wireless charging units snugly fits. Should you wish, we can also brand the top of the worktop, so that you know the exact location on which to sit your device in order to charge.

We recommend that the inlay for the WEX Wireless Worktop Charger is positioned at least 25mm in from the edges of the worktop to retain the structural integrity of the timber.

Worktop Express can create oversize bespoke worktops that are ideal for kitchen islands and other situations where an extra-wide surface is required.

Our skilled team are able to fabricate oversize worktops (that can't be fulfilled with our standard range of sizes) in a range of hardwood timbers which can then be delivered by our very own 2Man service.
