Recommendations for concrete worktops

[Hoggle]

We are looking at concrete worktops for our new kitchen and wondered whether anyone on the forum has had them fitted and by whom? I have found a few companies but it would be really good to get a recommendation.

Are they very durable? One person I spoke to said you need to be careful with oil spills and drips which worries me as I really don't want a worktop I have to be careful with!

They look great but are very pricey so I need to be confident in purchasing them, any help, ideas would be great,

Many thanks

Not a fan myself of concrete work tops but I know Martin Rachon at Keypoint Construction has installed them in a number of local houses so worth giving him a call on 07845 416211.

I've just had some installed so can't give any real info on how they wear yet. I can tell you that the company I went with were awful and you should avoid them at all costs. They are called 'LowInfo'. They are overpriced, insist that you pay up front before installation, made everything to the wrong specifications so that they physically bear no resemblance to what I had asked for and left the install in a structurally unsound way so that I am now having to pay out even more to resolve the problem. They are refusing to refund me any money or correct the problem. They have ignored written requests so really I can't stress enough - don't use this company!

I found this company and wish I had gone with them instead. I haven't used them but they look good and have much better pricing: mortiseconcrete.co.uk.

Selina42 I'm so sorry you have had such problems, thank you so much for letting me know, I have just received samples from Lowinfo so I'm so glad you shared your experience.

I'll check out Mortise Concrete..
