Thanks Dean,

Its sounds as though - if the w/top is well bonded to the units I run the risk of damaging the units if I try to separate them. I guess I may have to do as you have done. I'm hoping that where the two pieces meet (L shape corner) I should be able to seperate a little easier; is that case?

I have found a kitchen on ebay and the buyer (me) will have to remove. I'm okay with DIY but never handled granite before. I'm thinking the fun will really start when I have to cut to fit into my kitchen area.

Thanks for the advice

Hi Hez, removing the Granite worktops was not possible, they were bonded to the base units. It made moving and handling the units bloody awkard we we had an 8ft by 2ft6 slab of grante with four units stuck to it! Where I had to cut a drop-in sink I had to cut thru the granite and base unit together. Mostly we cut off overhangs or cutouts to make the granite fit flush to the walls.
I would say if you are trying to separate a granite top from the base unit(s) - it rather depends how well stuck it is, and now much time/patience you have.
I'm happy to suggest some ideas if you can tell me more about what you need to do..

Regards,
Dean
