Bespoke worktops service at Norfolk Oak means pretty much anything you can imagine that can be done with a wooden worktop. Bespoke doesn't just mean sink cut outs, it can be oversized breakfast bars, large curves or complete circles - bespoke wooden worktops to any shape and size. Below is a list of the 'standard' options we offer. If you have more specific requirements in mind or would like to receive a complete quotation please visit our Receiving A Bespoke Worktops Quotation page for more information.
If you would like the reassurance of us oiling your wooden worktops ready for you to install or if you simply don’t have the time or means to do this yourself, we offer an oiling service.
With our pre oiling service we oil the top, bottom and all edges of the worktops so they will arrive ready for immediate installation. We use our Hot Oil Dip Tank to achieve this, which applies an ultra pure food grade linseed oil. It has a remarkably low protein content, which means at hot temperatures it gets absorbed in to timber much faster and deeper than ordinary linseed oil, or any other oil for that matter. It has no VOCs & is lovely to work with. It nurtures and protects the timber, but best of all it gives the most amazing finish. It really is beautiful, and has a natural patina and quality to it which is quite unbeatable.
When you then finish oil the worktops after installation, you can start from the lovely matt look that this provides and make the worktop finish what you want all the way up to a full gloss finish. We have tested this with a variety of different finishing oils, including special maintenance oil again from linseed which keeps everything totally natural, to our recommended Liberon finishing oil as well. Once the worktops are in place, the top and exposed edges will require further coats, around 6, and additional hand sanding to achieve the full protection and beautiful finish. With our oiling service full oiling instructions are supplied with order confirmation. This process is not at all onerous, and in fact is rather therapeutic. Each coat takes only a few minutes, and no specialist equipment is required.
Once the worktop is in, the top and exposed edges will require further coats, around 6, and additional hand sanding to achieve the full protection and beautiful finish. With our oiling service you are automatically supplied with the correct quantities of oil needed to finish the worktop for orders over 3 metres.
Costs start at £ 35 per linear metre.
Of course if you would prefer just to buy the oil it is £ 15 a litre, which is enough to finish one three metre long wooden worktop.
Other finishes are available on request from polyurethane to liming and staining. Please contact us for more information
Wooden upstands provide a wonderful aesthetic to the back edge of your kitchen worktop. However the secret benefit of wooden upstands is covering up all sorts of problems; walls which aren't straight, corners which are never quite 90 degrees. Fixing wooden upstands has been made simple with the advent of 'no more nails' glue - push the wooden upstand into place, hold firmly for a couple of minutes and that's it.
We make our wooden upstands in two styles; 'Wide Block Upstands' with joints along the length - suited to our Classic Wide Block worktops, and 'Super Stave Upstands' in continuous lengths with no joints - suited to our Super Stave and Traditional Plank wooden worktops.
