Thanks for the suggestions. Tiling is a major work which I'm not keen of doing :) That beading looks good, I can't find any such thing on my local homebase though may have to trek out a bit.

Hi, Apology if it's the wrong category, not really sure what it fits. Basically the previous owner of this flat did a bodge job on the kitchen leaving us with a rather big and uneven gap between the kitchen worktop and the wall. At the widest it's about 1.5cm. Any idea/suggestion how to...
