Most worktop savers and protectors come in many different sizes. If you plan to use them for food preparation as well, then you will need to have a size that you can work with.

What’s Involved in Making a Wooden Worktop Protector or Chopping Board?

In this guide, we’ll show the average costs of buying a worktop saver or protector, what affects the cost of a worktop protector, how you can save money when you buy one, how you can find and hire a worktop installer and what questions to ask them when they come to give you a quote. Ask family and friends and also work colleagues. Someone might have used a worktop installer recently, or they have one in the family that they can recommend. If you have a worktop that is not heat-resistant then you’ll need to be careful with hot pots, pans, plates, and dishes. You can also ask in kitchen design shops whether they have offcuts of worktop material you could then use to have one made. You can also look online for cut-offs. Silicone is heat resistant and lightweight. The material is often used to create mats and squares for hot pots and dishes.

Toughened glass is commonly used as a worktop protector and a chopping board because it is heat resistant and they are easy to clean. You can also add patterns and pictures to glass chopping boards to make them attractive or quirky. Use HouseholdQuotes when you want to find and hire a worktop installer. Fill out our online form and tell us briefly what you need. We’ll then find local kitchen installers to give you no-obligation quotes. If you want your protector to match your worktop you can have it made as a bespoke service. This is often carried out by the company who design your worktop.

What Type of Materials Are Used for Worktop Savers or Protectors?

Ask at your local DIY store if they cut worktops to any size. If they do you might be able to buy the amount you need. If you are looking at worktop protectors because you are having new worktops fitted, you may need to find a worktop installer. Make sure you get your quotations in writing and that each one outlines the same work. That way the quotes will be easier to compare. Do you have insurance? Is your public liability insurance up to date? Public liability insurance is vital for all tradespeople as it protects them and you from any injury or damage claims should an accident occur during the installation of your slate kitchen worktops.

The best way to protect your worktop is to have a worktop saver or protector that you can place on top of your worktop when you are cooking. Always take the time to ask tradespeople some questions when they come to give you quotes. The answers you get will help you to choose the right person for the job. Are you a member of any trade associations? Trade associations will only grant membership to tradespeople with a good work record. They should also have a high standard of workmanship. A kitchen fitter could be a member of The British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom and Bathroom Installation. (BIKBBI)Have you done a lot of this type of work?

The table below gives you a selection of worktop savers by material with the average cost for the size mentioned. You can pay less for smaller items and more if you have bespoke cuts. Material Worktop protectors come in the same materials as worktops, so you have a wide choice of materials. Off-the-shelf materials include glass, wood, granite, and marble.
