Hi Guys, I am just wondering if anyone out there knows of any Granite or Quartz Kitchen Worktop Fitters in the area. Due to personal health issues, the majority of my kitchen refurb budget was spent on my health costs treatment. I still have some funds left, though, not enough for the...

Hi Folks, I have a kitchen worktop that needs to be re-oiled. It was originally oiled with Howdens' Prime Worktop Oil, which has lasted well. I'd like to re-oil it with the same, but since Howdens are refusing to sell to me as I'm not trade, and are also quite grumpy and refusing to discuss...
