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 !)

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
