Fitting a (Very) expensive composite kitchen worktop

[DLaing]

I'm about to fit a new composite "Maia" worktop in a utility area I've just created in my cellar. I'm going for the "industrial" look with lots of exposed (but painted) brick etc.

Unfortunately, the wall it's going against meanders by about +_1.5cm along the length. The question is, do I:

(1) chase the brick to fit the worktop?
(2) scribe the worktop to fit the wall, given it is very likely to chip?
(3) fit a nice straight, square plasterboard wall in front of the brickwork?

I want to keep the brick if possible, so (1) and (2) are the preferred options.

OR there is always (4) pay someone else to do it but I'm trying to do it on the cheap(ish)!

Have you got a decent router with slot cutting bit as well as worktop jig and a good ROS with dust extraction to sand the joints and surface. This is not something you just put in as is, it needs finishing by working through the grits particularly on the glued joints.

As for the wal/top joint either chase the brick by cutting a slot with a diamond disc in a grinder to get a neat edge, you will need to ensure your worktop is wide enough to still overhang the front once pushed into the slot.

Or fit an upstand say 100mm high that can part follow the wall and part be filled behind.
