wall runs off between 18-25mm from middle to sides - scribe?

[Colour Republic]

sadly everything is on site already.

600mm worktop etc all there.

is there no-hope then?

You mean apart from kicking the plasterer in the knackers and getting him to redo it?

Sadly it just is too large over a very short distance. You also have the problem that the corner unit is a 925x925, this is a 90 degree unit, you can't make it bend! At least with a corner unit and fillet you don't have to exit the corner at a perfect 90.

As it is such a small kitchen I would bolt all the units together and see where you can and can't shave off a few mil here and there to get it sittng a little flatter to the wall, then pack out the rest. As I said adding laminate upstands will gain you 12-18 depending on brand. So that means you would only have to shave off 10-16mm the back of the units which can be possible depending on exact placement of the bow and what it effects (hob, sink, washing machine)

Cheap kitchen units make your job harder as they don't have the flexibility of the more expensive ones

hes been paid enough!

ill re measure tomorrow and post pics. maybe its less
as a side note...

As an example.

This is a kitchen we've been doing this week.

The window wall runs out by a similar amount to yours... but it's over 5m not 1.5m!! and it's gradual not sharp. The units closest to the camera are packed off the wall and the ones furthest away are scribed slightly. But then this is going to have granite worktops so will be templated making the bow unnoticeable.

Hi again.

Just got in, so thought I'd reply while I can.

I visited the property again Today, what I can see is:

the 25mm run off is actually 4-5mm

the window wall runs off toward the boiler by 5mm
and towards the left, by 3-4mm

the oven wall is in and out by a max of 3mm

ive taken pics with a straight edge and tape measure in them to show you

I imagine this makes life a LOT easier when it comes to fitting?

the corner unit in the plan will be in the left corner below the window
that should help you know whats what & where.

Hiya Garibaldi,
yeah all sorted lol.
panic for nothing ha.

ill just scribe the worktop as usual and tile.. should look fine really

[Colour Republic]

That really is nothing. Screw the units together and pack out by 2 or 3mm if needed where the touch the wall. In addition I wouldn't even bother scribing the worktops as any gaps up to 6mm will be covered by the tiling, personally I'd rather have that 6mm as extra overhang at the front rather than scribing.

Even though the wall is flat enough the plastering is shocking and IMO not a professional finish, the plasterer may argue it is getting tiles but its a poor excuse
