Gap between Kitchen Wall and Floor


Recommended Posts

Hi, I need some help here.... I have discovered that in our kitchen there is a large gap between the floor and the wall of about 3cm in both horizontal and vertical direction . The gap runs through the back of the kitchen cabinet. Does anyone has any suggestion as to how this gap could be closed, or who could help me with that ?
Generally the gap wouldn't be so large but Thats a very typical detail that would normally be covered using a skirting board. You could get a skirting board the same height or smaller than you Kitchen Plinth so it will butt neatly into the plinth. Not a big job for a handyman..
To put down the skirting, I would need to move the cabinets away from the wall. Since the granite benchtop is resting on the cabinet, and the cabinet seems to be glued to the wall, is it a matter of removing those silicon between the benchtop and the wall tiles, and then reapply them when done, or more than that ?
The cabinet runs for almost 2 meter and it turns L-shape following the kitchen wall at the end. Unless I move out all the cabinet, I can't really see if the new skirting would have cover all the gap. There are also pipes that runs inside the gap, so I may have to have opening in the skirting to let them come through. The gap is definitely too big for sealant (I think !)

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
