Absolutely Delighted
We are absolutely thrilled with our finished worktops and splash back. We knew of Hobbs and their reputation and they came highly recommended locally, but after we relocated to Dorset from Somerset we were looking at local suppliers, however none came close to the recommendations we'd had about Hobbs. We approached Hobbs in the hope that they would be prepared to travel and, to our absolute delight, this wasn't a problem at all. From start to finish the advice and communication has been second-to-none, with so much choice it was hard to decide on what would most suit our needs. We required durability having teenagers and doing a lot of cooking but also wanted something light and giving a luxury finish. We were given in-depth advice by Emma, Sharon and Luke on the pros and cons of each material and the fitting that would be most suited to our somewhat "quirky" Edwardian home. Previously we inherited an "ok" scratched and grubby melamine island and counter top with a splash back finished rather bizarrely with what appeared to be leftover bathroom tiles! Despite having large windows, it was a gloomy room as the melamine absorbed all of the light. We went for the Calcutta Forte and I cannot stress the difference it has made, the light bounces around the kitchen and it's like the whole room has had a complete facelift whilst still being sympathetic to the property's age. The fitting was quick, tidy and very stress-free. The guys that came to measure and fit (Felipe, Adam, Liam, Carl & Matty) were a delight and really knew what they were doing, everything fit to the exact millimetre and I have no doubt this was due to the meticulous approach and attention to detail applied throughout. They left the place tidier than they found it and also went over and above to make sure the kitchen furniture fit properly around the top (due to me not ordering the right components!). In summary if I could give Hobbs Marble & Granite more than 5-stars I would!
