We are replacing our kitchen, and are considering a granite work top, what
are the pros and cons of these work tops over the more traditional chipboard

Talking with a stonemason whose firm supplies granite worktops, he
commented on the large number of people who are disappointed several
years later when they discover that scratches, chips, etc in the granite
due to normal wear can't be properly repaired in situ, as the process
that gives the high gloss finish requires heating as well as polishing.
