Why choose Rosso Alicante for London?

Design impact

Performance — what to expect

• Good compressive strength for interior installations.
• Porous: requires sealing and routine maintenance.
• Not as scratch/stain resistant as engineered quartz — take precautions in heavy-use kitchens.

Installation process (numbered steps)

1. Send photos & postcode (we cover Greater London); request a free 100×100mm sample.
2. Book a site measure / templating visit.
3. Approve slab photos and edge profile; fabrication begins.
4. Delivery & professional installation with sealing and handover.

London-specific planning & common mistakes

• Access & permits: central London streets and mews often require delivery permits — organise early.
• Structural checks: older properties may need substrate reinforcement for heavy slabs.
• Colour variation: always approve actual slab photos or samples — blocks vary.

Maintenance & prevention tips

• Wipe spills immediately using pH-neutral cleaners.
• Reseal annually in heavy use; adjust schedule for external exposure.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners and acid-based products (wine, lemon).
• Use boards/trivets and avoid standing water on exterior paving.
