Summary: Learn how to fit a kitchen worktop, cut a kitchen worktop and install a kitchen worktop.
Worktops vary massively in shape, size, material and price. When selecting a worktop, make sure you have thought about the best suited material for you based on how much you use your kitchen worktops.
The instructions below are for basic laminated worktops which are usually made from MDF; however the instructions will apply for worktops of a similar material. Granite, marble and hardwood worktops are more expensive and difficult to install.
You may need to scribe the worktop to fit it snug to the back wall.
When cutting the worktop use a straightedge to help you cut in a perfectly straight line.
When joining two straight worktops together use a joining strip and secure it in place from underneath.
Once you have marked and drilled the pilot holes, fix the worktop in place with 18mm long screws.
