Thank you Justin, and sorry, I misread your earlier post. I took "flat, and a couple of edge profiles" as a flat panel plus a separate strip. I now see you meant flat material plus two preformed profiles: a small radius going straight down, and a larger radius turned back slightly. Your...

Thanks Ivor, that is very useful. Two kitchens from scratch is a lot of experience. Good point about the corners. An overlay still needs the same corner joints, so that part does not get easier. One last question, if you don't mind. When you replaced your worktops, what took the most time or...

Thank you both, this is really helpful. And no, it is not spam. I am a student in the Netherlands, and this idea is part of a university project on what happens to old kitchen worktops. I am not selling anything. A few things I took from your replies: Edge: A flat panel plus a separate edge...

Good point, thanks! In my drawing one screw goes up into the old worktop and one into the lip, and you’re right that 4 mm is very thin for that. That’s exactly what I need to test. Do you have any other solution that isn’t glue, so the skin can still be removed later? If it has to be screwed...

Hi all, I'm a Master's student (sustainable business) researching how to keep old laminate worktops out of the skip. Thanks again to everyone who answered my poll on removed worktops a few weeks ago. Most of you said they're rarely reusable once they're out, which led to this idea. **The...

Hi all, I'm a Master's student researching what happens to old kitchen worktops after a refit and whether they could be reused instead of going in the skip. You're the people who see this every day, so I'd really value your view. Please vote in the poll, and if you have a minute, reply with a...

Thanks both, that's really helpful! @Diver Fred - good to know about the separate bin for old worktops. Did you have to pay anything at the tip for the half you didn't reuse, or was it free? Roughly which area is that, if you don't mind me asking? @Elsa TLC - and for you, was there any...

Hi all, I'm a student doing a university project on kitchen waste in the UK. I'm not selling anything, just after a few honest answers from people who've done a kitchen refit. When you last replaced a worktop (laminate, wood, stone, whatever it was), what happened to the old one? Please pick...
