out of square corner for wall units

[fin]

fellas, first time ive really come across this sort of scenario.

im fitting a b&q kitchen this week.

there is an L shaped run with a corner wall unit. it has a 400 wall on one side and a 800 wall unit on the other side. unfortunately that corner is an obtuse angle so greater than 90 degrees.

im actually yet to be able to build the corner unit but thats another story.

ive had to take part of the service void off the base units to enable them to go in satisfactorily.

in order for the wall units to look right and not have gaps at the fronts ive thought about using one of those hanging rails. packed off the wall with washers maybe to bring it back to 90 degrees to the other wall. thus enabling the L shaped run of wall units to sit right. if i square off the long wall im like atleast an inch off the wall by the time im at the end of the wall unit run.

obviously im going to have to use a base decor end to cover the extra gap though. and possibly a tapered lath to support the bottom of the units too.

any other ways of sorting this that ive not thought of?

the way the b&q unit seems to be built is causing a few problems with this... i say seems to be. the first one was damaged upon opening it. so they sent another which arrived today damaged.... and took the original one away.... and now the third corner unit wont land till saturday.

bloody b&q

the plan is on the pdf 2nd page down.

can you not recess the corner unit into the wall by say the plaster thickness and a touch more

That's what I did the last time I had this problem although it was a stud wall and a little easier to cut out some plasterboard than hack away a brick wall.

unfortunately this is a solid brick wall. and im unsure of the plaster thickness. though i doubt itll be thich enough to allow for the difference. it seems as though the whole buildings been built slightly skew wiff.

its a tyneside flat. perhaps not exactly renowned for perfect building practices.

ill double check tomorrow though..

it may be an idea to build the corner unit up. attach the units either side and position them as they would sit to gauge the gap a bit better.

without stretching the front edge with spacers/fillets your stuck on about 91-92% before things look odd quickly
if you can't pad one or both far ends off the runs off the wall your stuck with a compromise maybe a bit off everything
remember plaster tiles/upstands/adhesive can quickly add up to 20mm at the outer ends with the corner unit set back say 12mm thats quite a lot off movement although if the worktop goes further its more complicated

if its really bad deeper worktop on one or both runs and space off the wall to keep the units the same setback from the front with the outer ends setting the spacings from the wall

dont forget the kff forum

base units are sorted. i scribed em. so took off more from the 800 base unit in the corner and nowt off the right hand edge of the 400 base unit next to it. so as to keep the corner going ok. the wall units are a different challenge.

the whole kitchens doing my bloody head in. fit the base units.... level a gable end up.... check it for plumb its out.... stupid b&q units....

and some of them are dead on for widths. others can be a mm or 2mm over size.... canny that like..

beastly b*stard kitchen
