Has anyone used this company Savoy timber and diy. I am re decorating my kitchen and replacing worktops. My current worktops are 30mm and it would be far easier to replace with 30mm. This is the best prices i have found online for 30mm tops. They were very prompt sending samples, but has anyone ordered from them? Also What is the best method for cutting. I have a jigsaw for doing the hob and sink. Its just getting a clean neat cut on the ends. Do i use a fine handsaw or my circular saw?

Yes, I have used them and had no problems. I got three worktops delivered recently and the delivery arrived on the day arranged. They were well packed with polystyrene protecting the edges within thick cardboard covers. The tops were also covered in a thick plastic. No damage and no bananas.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them on my experience

On the cutting I used a handsaw to cut to length and a jig saw for the hob and sink cut outs.

Whatever you use to cut worktops, make sure you have a suitable blade.

What you use depends on just how you're going to handle the joints. If you're using a cover-strip of some sort, it's not too critical, but if it's an exposed joint, it needs to be just right.

You may well wish to protect the surface from scratches from the sole-plate of any power saw you use.

Jig saws have blades available that cut on the down stroke, but choosing a blade with suitable cutting characteristics for plastic is every bit as important.

Personally I find that I can do as good a cut with a jigsaw as with anything else, but then I have a very good jigsaw and always have a good selection of quality blades to hand. If using the jigsaw I always protect the cutting line of laminate with Sellotape or, preferably, broad clear strapping tape.

Half inch router and a straight edge (or worktop jig).
