Thanks for all the advice. I really appreciate it. One of our neighbours who does lot of renovations has looked at our kitchen and strongly recommended someone to us and we have decided to use him and to cut our losses with the other fitter. In the grand scheme of things we realise even if we...

I am not sure what standard worktops are but these are just chipboard laminate but thinner than normal.

Thanks calorific for your advice So is the gap on the left side not room to play with in moving everything a little to the left or is that gap normal? If the unit end panel is trimmed down then it would lower the whole set - maybe that would not be noticeable as the gap is only just over a...

And lastly with these gaps by the tall end unit - can they be filled - the one in the worktop is a few mls wide - getting wider toward the back - I didnt want to use an upstand against this unit. Is it normal to have a gap like this and does it need be be filled with anything as I am afraid of...

with the worktop he has had to compensate for the walls not being straight - even though we thought that's what we were paying the plasterer for it seems he didn't square the walls. As a result the fitter hasn't had the easiest start with the walls not being straight. However what are your...

Maybe this is being really picky but inside the cupboards it appears that he has attached some of the fronts upside down - if he had just swopped the two it would have been unnoticeable but instead by correcting it on the same front he has split the paintwork. While my husband thinks this isnt...

And still with the larder units - he did not think we needed an end panel on the right hand side. Although at two stages I said I though it would look better. Now they are done I still think they do need an end panel and I dont know why he would have rather not put one on. I am not happy with...

This is one of my biggest gripes - we had got tall larder units cut back and therefore the end panel. Now my issue is not that this doesnt reach the floor although that is a problem but that this is unsealed - and I am afraid that when we mop the floor that water is going to be absorbed into...

And I think you can see here the drawer fronts are out to compensate

This is the first photo which shows some of the base units. It seems that the fitter has put all the units a little to the right and has had to compensate when attaching the drawer fronts by putting them of centre. This has caused a few problems - a gap left on the right hand side, the drawers...

I think I have got it!

Thanks cajar. I'm struggling to transfer the photos so will try again tomorrow.

Hello I am really not sure where is the best place to put this but I would appreciate some expert opinions. We are part way through having our new kitchen installed. My husband started off the job-he is a self-employed gas safe registered engineer and very handy but hasn't experience in...
