I'm replacing the worktops in our utility room which, in itself, isn't
a problem as it's a nice, rectangular shape with worktops down two
sides, but I need a mitred right-angle join - I've never cut one of
these before and understand that it's a bit of a steep learning curve
for a one-off job, so I wondered if anyone knows anywhere around the
Worthing/Brighton area that will sell a worktop pre-mitred and routed
for the butterfly bolts

Haven't responded so far because a) thought someone else would already
have written that pre-mitred worktops were available; b) it was some
time ago I saw them and I don't know if they still are available.
Somehow, I doubt it.

'Twas in Homebase, probably around four or five years ago, they had a
length of worktop with both ends mitred and routed. You choose where
between those mitres to do a single straight cut.

I thought it quite a good idea but there were inevitable problems such as:

You require a worktop with two mitres or indeed anything other than a
simple 'L'.
The room isn't square.
The very limited range of finishes available in this form.
Excess cost and waste if every piece of worktop has to be bought in this
form in order to match up properly.
The limited maximum length of a single run.
