Hi, I am a retailer of worktops and accessories. I am not a fitter. I am looking for a rate for my aluminium end caps and joint strips for my stock to sell online. I agree the mitre is better, but those can't can't or won't buy the end caps and joints from me.

Maybe if you can email me so we are not displaying what I pay it may suit better - thanks for replying. [email protected]

Does anyone know where I can 'bulk buy' aluminium end caps and joint strips for stock for my sales please? I'm paying far to much at the moment as I can see what others are charging. Thanks in advance.

If the units are not square, then making the worktops perfect 90 would have an impact? I think they could have chosen a better section to do that mitre out of though - no forethought there. The blocked effect can show the mitre but a better selection of section they used would have been more...

Make sure you fix it to the floor well too - Maybe a pin/dowel in to the floor if you can as a knock on the base of the panel may endure movement and stress.

Just make sure you remove all the wire wool shards, as they can get trapped and go rusty!

Hi, I would advise that you do 'something' so you are not accused of causing a bigger issue. You would not want to be accused of 'leaving it, causing it to be worse'. Contact the supplier and ask them to give you advise or a resolve. Do contact them ASAP, and in a recorded way - Email would...
