Worktop not level

Ive also got a problem with a kitchen worktop! Im using the brick shaped tiles to do a two course border all around the kitchen and at one particular point where two lengths of the worktop meet it is raised at the wall end only by a few mm's but I want a perfect level all round! Any suggestions on how to equally space the tiles from worktop but only leaving a max 5/6 mm gap?

Thanks in advance

fix a small lengh of wood under the worktops where they join ,tighten screws up to see if it will pull the work top down ,check for packers under worktop
 
If you are trying to juggle the joints you should get some wedge spacers, makes it really easy to gradually get over a problem.
 
Got a similar problem.
The worktop is going round 3 walls with a break for a cooker in the middle. From the right-hand side of the cooker to the right corner it drops 12mm over 1.3m.
From that low corner to the next wall it stays at that level.
Unsure if I should go from the highest point and cut in the bottom row (looks rubbish IMO) or attempt to lose it somehow?
 
Cut in. It's not your problem really. Give the customer any options and show them first maybe. That's quite a big drop over 1.3m. Boeings dont drop that much when coming in to land lol

It was a council joiner who installed it......

Rather annoying situation because there's a gap under the window sill on the left wall almost perfect for the metros going up. With that being the highest point if I cut in the first row it'll leave me with 3m of cuts that could have been avoided. I'll stick some photos up.
Just trying to gauge opinions as we all know everyone does everything differently on here lol.
 
Attached the pics so let's have your opinions....

So it's level from the far left all the way until the start of the worktop on the right of the cooker - then drops 12mm from there to the corner. From the corner onwards to the right it's all level.....12mm lower though.
