Speak to a Specialist

Choosing your kitchen worktop is one of the biggest style decisions you’ll make — and the best way to do it is in person.
At The Granite House, our Bicester showroom is designed to make that choice easier, more inspiring, and even a little exciting.

Whether you’re planning a full kitchen renovation or simply replacing your worktops, here’s what to expect when you visit us — and how to get the most from your appointment.

A Friendly, No-Pressure Welcome

We know how overwhelming a kitchen project can feel, especially when there are so many materials and finishes to choose from. That’s why we greet every customer with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere (and yes, there’s coffee).

No hard sell, no jargon. Just honest advice from people who know stone and genuinely love helping you get it right.

Explore a Wide Range of Samples in Person

Our showroom is stocked with a carefully curated selection of granite, quartz, and quartzite samples, so you can compare colours, textures, and finishes in real life.

It’s the best way to see how stone works with your kitchen style, lighting, and cabinetry — far better than trying to decide from a screen.

Bring your sample doors, paint colours, or tiles, and we’ll help you find options that complement your design beautifully.

Help Matching Your Worktop to Your Kitchen Style

Not sure what suits shaker cabinets vs. modern ones? Again, bring your cabinet samples, paint swatches, or flooring, and we’ll help you find stone that works beautifully with your design.

Some people come with mood boards and plans, others just with Pinterest on their phone. Either way, we’re here to help you turn ideas into a real, finished look.

Honest Advice About What Will Work for You

We’ll guide you through the difference between materials (granite vs. quartz?), finishes (polished vs. matte?), and things like maintenance and heat resistance.

Whether your kitchen is for busy family life, entertaining, or quiet minimalism, we’ll help you choose a surface that not only looks great but lives well.

Easy, Helpful Next Steps

Love what you see? We’ll help you with:

  • Providing samples to take home
  • Arranging our templating and fitting teams
  • Keeping the process smooth and simple

Not ready to commit yet? No problem. You’re welcome to take your time.

Tips to Make the Most of Your Visit:

  • Bring your kitchen plans, samples, or inspiration images
  • Leave a little time to explore — there’s more than one ‘perfect’ stone
  • Come with questions — we love answering them
  • Feel free to bring your designer, builder, or friend!

Whether you’re just getting started or narrowing down final choices, we’d love to welcome you to our Bicester showroom.
