Ash is an attractive, light timber (almost white in parts) with a characterful, caramel grain that appears in both straight and 'curly' formations. Sourced in Europe, ash worktops are highly durable and extremely versatile - perfect for a variety of kitchen settings. Naturally bright and welcoming, ash makes a great alternative to classic oak or maple.
The Worktop Express® best-selling collection is carefully crafted from only the finest-quality raw material, providing incomparable strength, beauty and durability. Constructed from high-pressure glued, finger-jointed, 40mm wide staves, we supply our A grade ash kitchen worktops square-edged and fully sanded to a 150 grit smoothness but otherwise untreated, allowing you to finish the worktops to your preference prior to installation. These affordable ash wood worktops are available directly to the public, saving customers over 75% off high-street kitchen prices. Rapid UK delivery, high quality product and great value are guaranteed.
Built to stand the test of time in the busiest of households, ash creates aesthetically appealing wood worktops that are sure to reassure you of your purchase for years to come.
We are proud to employ a strong environmental policy, manufacturing ash block worktops from sustainably-sourced timber. For more detailed information on our policies regarding ash wood kitchen worktops and more, please visit our environmental page.

Worktop Express® is a distribution company in the truest sense of the word; and cost-effectiveness is built into our business model.
With Worktop Express there is simply no middleman: we even operate our own in-house 2Man delivery service to maximise efficiency. When you choose Worktop Express, you are choosing a group of specialists who devote their expert attention to every step of the process and are single-handedly responsible for sourcing, stocking, marketing, and distributing the product. Ensuring that we are the only link between the customer and manufacturer allows us to offer the most up-to-date products in the market for lower prices than any other retailer.
Our large stock holding - over 20,000 worktops are held in stock at any time across various locations - and sheer purchasing power dictates that the prices we can provide direct to the public and trade are extremely competitive. We do not share the same overheads as high-street stores (on average an initial 270% markup tends to be applied just to cover warehousing and staff costs) and therefore can achieve similar profit margins - but without overcharging customers! Our direct internet delivery model and advanced stock ordering allows us to minimise costs.
We have five strategically-placed depots throughout the UK, all of which are serviced by an impressive fleet of in-house delivery vehicles. As a result, we are able to offer an unparalleled delivery service: cost-effective, consistent, and prompt.
The belief that superb quality can go hand-in-hand with affordability is a lynchpin of the Worktop Express ethos. As a result we are confident that the Worktop Express product range far outstrips the quality of anything you will find on the high street - and often at a fraction of the cost.
Still not convinced? Try our great-value sample service: you'll be glad you did.
