Your B&Q kitchen worktop installation guide: choosing, ordering and fitting
Picking the right surface and ordering route makes installation far smoother and faster.
Choose material first. Laminates offer a wide range of effects and budget-friendly price points (28–38mm). Compact laminate gives a tough 12mm profile and crisp square edges for a modern finish. Solid oak adds warmth and can be sanded and oiled over time.
For sociable layouts, consider a breakfast bar or island slab. A 4100mm x 900mm laminate island doubles as dining and prep space. GoodHome breakfast bars in 2000mm lengths suit narrower plans.
Ordering is flexible. If an item is marked available home delivery you can schedule a site drop. Items marked available click or collectavailable selected let you reserve and pick up locally. Many products are also available home in selected stores.
Essential kits and a quick fitting overview
Kits and accessories: include the Unika compact laminate installation kit for specialist adhesives, the GoodHome fixing kit for general joins, and the MyWorktop adhesive kit for trims. Hot rods and end caps finish joints neatly.
- Measure and template precisely.
- Cut lengths and do sink/hob cut-outs.
- Join with adhesives and seal edges.
- Fit upstands, hot rods and finish with oil on timber.
Use stars and product reviews to narrow choices. Check product review rating on pages for colour accuracy and wear. For example, the GoodHome Hot rod set has 4.5 stars from 6 reviews.

Prices, availability and delivery: getting your worktop to site smoothly
Knowing how price tags and fulfilment labels interact saves time and money. Clearance lines often show a clear Was/Save/Now breakdown so you can compare against the original price and spot genuine bargains.
Original price vs clearance deals: Many GoodHome worktops show significant reductions. For example, a Berberis Gloss White 3000mm slab dropped from an original price of £204 to £140. Other lines, such as a 22mm Matt Grey Slate, fell from £132 to £80. These typically keep the same availability tags.
Availability tags explained
Available for Home Delivery means courier delivery to your address. Available for Click + Collect lets you reserve and pick up locally. Available in selected stores signals limited in-store stock—check before you travel.
When deliverynot available click or home deliverynot available
If an item is marked deliverynot available click or home deliverynot available, switch to a nearby length, thickness or a matching effect that shows available home delivery or click. Reserving accessories by click speeds assembly while you wait for long lengths by home delivery.

FAQ
Do B&Q fit kitchen worktops? Installation options available?
B&Q offers fitting services in many areas via approved installers and recommended tradespeople. You can book a fitting online or in store. If fitting isn’t available in your postcode, DIY-friendly options and fitting kits are supplied so you can install laminate, compact laminate or solid wood worktops yourself.
What’s included when B&Q fit a worktop?
A typical fitting includes delivery to site, template or measure (depending on service), cutting, joining and finishing. Accessories such as edging strips, seals and fastenings may be extra. Check the individual product page for exact inclusions and whether an installation quotation is provided.
How do I book a fitter through B&Q?
Booking is done online or in store. Select the fitting option during checkout or ask a colleague to book on your behalf. You’ll be given available dates and information about recommended fitters and what preparation is needed before they arrive.
Can I collect a worktop from store or use Click + Collect?
Many worktops are available for Click + Collect from selected stores, though some larger or specialist items may show “Click + Collect not available.” If Click + Collect is not an option, Home Delivery is usually offered where logistics permit.
What if Home Delivery is not available to my address?
If Home Delivery is not available, you can choose Click + Collect (if offered) or arrange transport via a carrier. Some customers hire a man-and-van service. Always check product dimensions and weight before collection or transport.
How do availability tags work on product pages?
Product pages display tags such as “Available Home Delivery”, “Click + Collect available”, or “Selected stores” to show stock and fulfilment options. Clearance items and original price details are also shown so you can spot current savings.
What happens when a product shows delivery not available or click collect not available?
When those messages appear, the product may be restricted by size, stock or location. Look for alternative finishes, check nearby stores, or contact customer services for advice on special delivery arrangements or local fitting partners.
Which materials are best for durability: laminate, compact laminate or solid wood?
Compact laminate is tough and water resistant, great for busy kitchens. Standard laminate gives a good finish and value for money. Solid wood offers warmth and can be sanded and refinished but needs more maintenance. Choose based on lifestyle, budget and desired finish.
Can I order a breakfast bar or island worktop through B&Q?
Yes. Many ranges include lengths and finishes suitable for breakfast bars and islands. Sizes, effects and edging options vary, so check product specifications and confirm availability for custom cuts or extended lengths.
Are installation kits and accessories available to buy separately?
Yes. B&Q stocks edging strips, joining strips, sealants, brackets and fixing kits. These are useful whether you fit yourself or need to top up supplies ahead of an installer visit.
How long does professional fitting usually take?
Timing depends on room size and complexity. A simple straight run can take a few hours; a run with sinks, joins or island worktops will take longer. The fitter will provide a time estimate when booking.
Where can I read product reviews and ratings before buying?
Product pages include stars, review ratings and customer reviews to help compare items. Look for recent reviews mentioning finish, durability and ease of cutting or joining for a clear picture of performance.
How do I measure correctly before ordering or booking a fitter?
Measure twice and record lengths, depths and positions of sinks, hobs and ends. Use a plumb line for walls and note any irregularities. If unsure, opt for a templating or measuring visit from the fitter to avoid errors.
Are there clearance deals and how can I spot genuine savings?
Clearance items display original price alongside the reduced figure. Check product condition notes, availability in store and whether delivery or fitting is included in the reduced price to ensure it’s a true saving.
What should I do if my chosen finish is out of stock at selected stores?
Check Click + Collect availability at other stores, consider Home Delivery if possible, or select a similar finish. Customer services can advise on restock dates or suitable alternatives.
Do I need special tools to fit compact laminate or handle breakfast bar profiles?
Cutting compact laminate requires a fine-tooth blade and a steady hand or a professional saw. Edging for breakfast bars may need routing. If you lack tools, consider using B&Q’s fitting service or hiring a suitable tradesperson.
How are joins sealed and finished for a professional look?
Join strips, colour-matched adhesives and silicone sealant are used to create tight, durable joins. Installers use clamps and specialist blades for clean edges, then finish with sealant to protect against moisture.
Can I get an exact match for a replacement worktop section?
Exact matches depend on current stock and batch variations. Provide product codes and photos when enquiring; B&Q staff can check availability and suggest the closest match or suitable repair options.
