Marble worktops in Hampstead
Hampstead is home to listed landmarks such as Burgh House and Kenwood House, and much of its luxurious housing dates from the 1870s and 1880s. In a home of that era, marble is a natural choice for a worktop that suits the period.
Hampstead homeowners can order marble worktops through Marmo & Co., which sources the slab and has it cut and fitted by a vetted network of fabricators and installers. A single point of contact runs the job from quote to final polish, so questions about access and stone choice go to one person.
About Hampstead homes
- Much luxurious housing in Hampstead was created during the 1870s and 1880s, in what is now the Frognal and Fitzjohns ward, and much of it remains.
- Hampstead contains a number of listed buildings, including Burgh House, Kenwood House, the Spaniard's Inn and the Everyman cinema.
- Camden has an Article 4 Direction covering the Hampstead conservation area, which removes permitted development rights so that a planning application is needed for works it covers.

How it works
- 1. Sourcing. Blocks sourced from quarries the world over, chosen for veining and structural integrity.
- 2. Templating. Digital templating on site captures every wall, corner and cut-out to the millimetre.
- 3. Fabrication. Cutting, book-matching and mitring, with sink and hob cut-outs prepared to tolerance.
- 4. Installation. Fitters seam, seal and finish, leaving the worktop ready to use.
Questions from Hampstead
Does the Hampstead conservation area affect a kitchen worktop?
Camden's Article 4 Direction mainly controls changes to the outside of a building. A worktop inside is normally not covered, but check with Camden before starting any works that alter the building itself.
What if my Hampstead house is listed?
Work that affects the character of a listed building may need listed building consent. Ask Camden's planning team before making changes, and keep the stone specification to hand.
Are there access considerations for Hampstead's hillside streets?
Steep, narrow roads and limited parking can make slab delivery harder. Flag this early so the delivery vehicle, the route to the door and the number of sections are planned in advance.
