Just finishing off the kitchen, got one headache though. I am tiling about half way up a window, there are thre trims that meet at the top corners. I have mitred the two horizontal trims, no problem. The vertical trim howver doesn't sit right where it meets the horizontal trims. I have...

Care to elaborate?

Hi, i've got a bag of grey waterproof tile adhesive left over, can I use this instead of grout?

Yep thats the one, not available from B&Q etc :wink:

Hi, I have got a piece left over from my kitchen fit, it is 665 wide by 2150 long, you can have it free but would need to collect, I am in North Wales, probably too far but you never know. It is Basalt Slate by Formica, cost me a bluddy fortune but is just cluttering up the place :cry:

Thanks all probelm solved. I used some colorfill, buffed the execess of and now the join is barely noticeable. He used waterproof PVA. I think the probelm was the worktop we chose has a bumpy textured finish to it, so where the joins are you could very slightly see the the edge of the formica...

Are you talking about the securing screw for the faceplate?

I stupidly did just this the other day. Switched the light switch off, switched live no problem, neutral no problem, earth no problem, hmm last two red wires to come out, bam, knocked me straight off the steps. I am normally very cautios with these things but just was,nt thinkg that day :cry:

Cheers John, any idea about the worktop joins?

Hi all, well the kitchen is nearly in. The guy I go to do it has done a cracking job up to yet, got to come back tomorrow to finish off. 1: He has jointed the worktops but used PVA rather than a coloured sealent. You can just about see the joins. Can I use ColorFill now the joint has been...

Thanks for the replies all :D Well I have admitted defeat, the sheer scale of the project has truly overwhelmed me. As this is a custom built kitchen there are no holes drilled for fixing the doors, door furniture etc. And don't get me started on the tall pull out larder wire work thing...

Well kitchen arrived today and already run into a problem. I offered up one of the tall larder units and it sits flush at the top but the further down you go the larger the gap is, at the bottom of the unit this is around 3/4 of an inch. I put the base unit next to it and because of the gap at...

Cheers for the reply. What would be the best way/tool to cut the cut-out out so it nice and straight. What a bizarre sentence :lol:

Hi Symptons, thank you ver much for your advice so far. This is the drier we have got if this helps:

Hi all, thanks again for the replies. Just had a bit of a tidy up in the kitchen and put the appliances in their places to check they fit! Got a bit of a problem though, the integrated tumble drier has a vent running along the bottom and then a gap of around 2 inches to the floor. obviusoly I...

Thank you very much guys :D Just another question while I'm here; How do I fit the plinth to the appliances?

Does the boiler not get its air supply from outside? Ours is fitted in the airing cupboard and the flue goes up through the roof. The boiler is room sealed and gets its air supply from the flue, I would have thought yours would be the same? In fact I would have though that any modern boiler...

Thanks for your help. The two appliances that need doors with hinges are the tumble drier and washing machine. Any idea where I can get the hinge borer from?

Cheers for the advice. Just one more question, the tumble drier needs to be vented hence why I put it last in the row so I could go straight through the wall. By putting it first do you think I will have any problems routing a vent house behind the appliances?

Hi, will try to decribe this as best as I can. I am fitting our new kitchen next week and I am fitting a dishwasher, tumble drier, and washing machine to the same wall all next to each other. Looking at the wall the appliances will go as follows from the left hand corner; dish washer...
