Worktop not level

[Andy Allen]

I've done hundreds of kitchen Splashback's........and I never even put a level on the work tops........I just do it by eye......sometimes making something level with something that isn't level can end up looking worse..

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.

Report it to the foreman and get it in writing.

12mm is alot to loose, still do-able find the highest point......try and loose it round the whole kitchen not just between the cooker...

That's what I'm thinking.... but cutting with beveled metros will also look pretty rubbish.
If i go off the highest point then i get almost a full tile under that window sill that would make life a bit easier.

Any opinions or are people giving this one a wide berth?

There all tile snobs ....and think kitchen Splashback are beneath them...

It's only noticeably out of level once you put a spirit level on it.
Cut them in level, and the kitchen will be noticeably out of level all of the time!
I'd tile straight off the worktop. If you are using smallish tiles, it will be easy to lose 10mm or so, even easier if they are brick-bond

That is true, I reckon I'll just go off the worktop and hope the 12mm doesn't look too bad
