As some of you probably know (from other threads) I will be re-doing the kitchen in a couple of weeks.

Anyway measured up worktops to see how much i need, anyway along 2 sides of the kitchen is standard 600mm worktop, no problem. However the 3rd piece of worktop is non standard and from looking at it, its not 2 pieces that have been joined either.

The non standard piece is 'L' shaped. The width of the LEG of the 'L' is 620mm arses. Then the FOOT of the 'L' adds another 50mm to the overall width. Now the LEG part is a cover for a drawer unit so it needs to be at least 610 wide to cover that up.

The LEG of the 'L' forms part of a counter style opening into the dining area so the ROLLED edge needs to be on the kitchen side or cut off.

I could cut the worktop lengthways and have 1 rectangular 300mm wide piece and another 'L' piece thats 310-320 wide on the LEG, then glue the 2 piece together, but then you have a join line running down the middle of the worktop

WHAT DO I DO, HELP, everything in my flat is bloody non standard, arhhhh

One option is to replace the kitchen with standard units and a new design instead of a like for like swap.
Will probably be a lot cheaper to.

well the cupboards are bolted to the ceiling to create a counter style, they are also non standard as they on tall and thin.

Also the 620mm is a good width as it covers the tumble dryer up. Still need the L shape otherwise I will be losing valuable workspace in an already tiny kitchen.

Though the idea does shed some light on the subject, cheers

Cliff, I can't quite work out your L shaped thing but you can get 800mm wide work tops which are have rolled edge on both sides if that helps. USed this in my kitchen for the breakfast bar and also when I needed a work top of more than 600 mm deep. One thing is that it was bl00dy heavy in a 4 m length

As damage says - you can get 800mm worktop or 1200 mm 'breakfast bar' which is a normal worktop finished on three sides - one of these cut to fit should solve the problem

OH THATS EXCELLENT cheers where do I get 800 worktop from, preferably somewhere that will also chop it up for me like B&Q will ??

Cliff

You can order that from B&Q if they dont have it in stock.

asked at B&Q and they only do 2M lengths, meaning i would have to get 2M of that then some standard 600mm stuff for the rest. I have found a place in southampton now that will do 4m length of the 900mm and chop it up for me too

cheers
