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 !)

Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.

    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
