Marble kitchen worktops
We make marble worktops at our workshop in La Chapelle-Saint-Luc, usually 2 or 3 cm thick, and fit them ourselves. Before you…
Stone kitchen worktops and islands
Kitchen worktops, islands, splashbacks and carved sinks in marble, granite, quartz or Dekton, made at our workshop at 8 rue Joseph Marie Jacquard, La Chapelle-Saint-Luc, and fitted by us.
Services
Granite kitchen worktops
Granite takes heat and lemon far better than marble and doesn't fade in the sun. For a gîte or a holiday let, it's the first…
Quartz kitchen worktops
Quartz is crushed natural quartz held in resin. It doesn't absorb anything and never needs sealing. We cut and fit it at our…
Dekton and ceramic worktops
Dekton, by Cosentino, and large porcelain slabs are fired at very high temperature with no resin. They take heat, stains and…
Stone kitchen islands
We make island tops in marble, granite, quartz and Dekton, sometimes with side panels that drop to the floor, the waterfall end.
Stone splashbacks
We cut splashbacks in marble, granite, quartz and Dekton at La Chapelle-Saint-Luc, often from the same slab as the worktop.
Sinks carved from your worktop stone
A stone sink in the same marble, granite or quartz as the worktop, so the bowl and the top look like one piece. We carve them…

Materials
Most people come with a photo and a colour. We'd rather start with how you cook, because these four don't react the same way to lemon, a hot pan or a dropped cast-iron lid.
| Material | What it is | Weak spot | Usual thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marble | Natural calcite, about 2.7 t per m³ | Acid dulls the polish, needs sealing | 2 or 3 cm |
| Granite | Hard crystalline rock | Very little, pale ones want a sealer | 2 or 3 cm |
| Quartz | Crushed quartz in resin | Direct heat and strong sun | 2 or 3 cm |
| Dekton | Fired surface by Cosentino | Edges can chip | 1.2 or 2 cm |
Details on marble, granite, quartz and Dekton. We also cut onyx, Galala and Corian, mostly for one-off pieces.
What we make
An L-shaped kitchen is usually two or three pieces with a joint, plus upstands and the sink and hob cut-outs. On top of that, people ask for:
- an island, often with a waterfall end
- a splashback, from a 10 cm upstand to full height
- a sink carved from the stone, with drainer grooves
There's a waterfall marble island in our projects.
How it goes
- You call 07 45 20 76 39, send photos on WhatsApp, or come to the workshop.
- You see the actual slab if possible. Two slabs with the same name can look quite different.
- We measure once the units are fixed and level. Measuring off a plan is how tops end up not fitting.
- We cut the edges, cut-outs and grooves at the workshop.
- We fit, then seal natural stone.
Two to four weeks between measuring and fitting is common. Your date goes on the quote.
Second homes
French units take a top 60 to 65 cm deep, close to the UK 600 mm, so units from either country are fine. If your fitter and our measuring are in the same trip, leave a gap between them. On a house over two years old, supply and fitting is usually at 10% VAT.
A 3 cm top weighs about 80 kg per m², so a 3.6 m run needs two or three of us and a clear way in. Tell us about narrow cellar stairs or timber upper floors.
Where
A few minutes off the Troyes ring road, close to the A26 and A5. See Troyes and Champagne.
Frequently asked questions
Another question? Call the workshop: 07 45 20 76 39
Do you supply the units too?
No, just the stone. The units come from your kitchen supplier and must be fitted and level before we measure.
Can stone go on IKEA units?
Usually, if they're fixed to the wall, level and reinforced under a heavy overhang or sink.
Which stone is easiest in a busy family kitchen?
Granite and Dekton. Quartz is easy too but not with hot pans. Marble needs the most care.
Can it all be arranged from the UK?
Mostly. Photos and sizes on WhatsApp to +33 7 45 20 76 39, slab photos, then one trip if you want to be there when we measure.
