Quartz worktops, without the sales pitch
Quartz — including Silestone, the best-known name — is the worktop most of our customers end up choosing. Here is an honest guide to why, what it costs to care for, and how to specify it well.
What is quartz?
Engineered stone: around 90% natural quartz bound with resins and pigments. You get the depth and coolness of stone with far more consistency than natural marble or granite — and a huge choice of colours and veining.
Why quartz keeps winning
Tough by nature
Highly scratch, stain and impact resistant — built for real family kitchens.
Low maintenance
Non-porous, so no sealing — soap and water is the whole care routine.
Consistent beauty
The slab you approve is the slab you get — veining and colour run true.
25-year warranty
Silestone carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty for lasting peace of mind.
How a worktop order works
Quote → consultation → itemised quotation → deposit secures your price → laser templating → CNC fabrication → expert installation. We manage the sequence so the worktop lands exactly when the kitchen needs it.

What customers say
★★★★★Beau Bijou have designed 2 kitchens for us and each time we’ve been delighted. One large kitchen and one smaller space — both just perfect for our needs.Christine Keighley, West Yorkshire Replacement kitchen
★★★★★The design Richard did for me was far better than my kitchen shop’s, and I saved £800 on my worktops using their trade account. My fitter loved the plans too — so easy to read.Luke Leeds, West Yorkshire Independent design
★★★★★I never thought about using a designer for my kitchen until I found Beau Bijou. After 3 designs by retailers, the difference was amazing and the recommendations saved me a lot of money.Samantha Orpington, Greater London Remote design
★★★★★Richard spent a long time talking me through all the options. The designs were better than I’d hoped — really amazing. My Calacatta gold quartz worktops are beautiful. So happy!Carol West Yorkshire Replacement kitchen
