I did our third floor kitchen in the Grove using plastic-surfaced (very strong and resistant) worktop, a steel sink unit sunk into that and some very expensive and beautiful grey, pink and white marble tiles as backing. You have to manage something sort of elegant and reasonably tight and waterproof at joins in the worktop and its ends. It was very hard work and took ages, with long pauses for thought and trips to the hardware places (good ones in the Grove in my day) for this and that.
Couldn't (wouldn't try even) do it now to save my life. Earlier today a very nice geezer delivered a new bed for the oldest grandnipper upstairs here. He took all the parts up and assembled the bed, but the very heavy and stiff double mattress had to be dragged up our small, tortuous staircase. Just helping the bloke do it near enough killed me, and I'm still suffering from sight disturbances three hours later. Some years ago though I remember getting a similar mattress up the same staircase on my own.
