How to Budget for Your Worktop Installation (Template, Fitting & Cutout Costs)

By Tudor Granite, Worktop Specialist | Updated: October 2025

Don't forget to budget for the fitting! Our Hereford cost guide covers the overall price, but this post details the labour costs that are essential for a perfect finish.

1. Digital Templating

This is the most crucial step. Our team visits your home and takes precise digital measurements of your kitchen cabinets using laser equipment. This creates a perfect digital blueprint for your worktops, ensuring a flawless fit. This is a standard, essential charge for any bespoke worktop.

2. Fabrication & Cutouts

As detailed in our guide to price factors, this is where a significant portion of the labour cost lies. Using the digital template, we use advanced machinery to cut the slab and create holes for your sink, hob, and taps. The cost will depend on how many of these you have.

3. Professional Installation

The final piece of the puzzle is the fitting. Our expert craftsmen deliver the finished worktops to your home and install them. This includes levelling, joining pieces seamlessly with special colour-matched epoxy, and sealing the joins. This is skilled work that guarantees a professional and long-lasting result.
