Splashbacks
Carry the same stone up the wall for a clean, vein-matched finish behind the hob and along the run. No grout lines to scrub and no visual break between the worktop and the wall.
A stone splashback runs the worktop material up the wall, so the eye reads one continuous surface instead of tiles and grout. It wipes clean in seconds and stands up to heat behind the hob, which is why so many kitchens now choose it over tiling.
Splashbacks and upstands are cut from the same slab as your worktop, matching the veining where they meet so the joint sits quietly. Cut-outs for sockets, switches and extractors are measured to the millimetre and finished on every edge.
What we make
One team runs the job from first measurement to final fit.
Full-height or upstand
A full-height panel behind the hob, a slim upstand along the run, or both, cut to the heights you want.
No grout lines
One solid piece rather than tiles, so there is nothing to scrub and nowhere for grease to sit.
Cut around sockets
Sockets, switches and extractor outlets cut in cleanly and polished on every edge.
Matched to the worktop
Cut from the same stone and matched for veining so the wall and worktop read as one surface.
The materials
Marble, quartz, granite and porcelain, with more available on request. Not sure what suits you? We will tell you the truth, not just what is easiest to sell.
