Hmm so the kitchen is almost “complete”, however some issues remain with the kitchen unit positioning impacting the magic corner unit and I have a feeling that one side of the entire work units under the hob may need to move 5mm left to solve it - the hob and extractor are fitted so it will be out by 0.5cm but the hob with the burner config looks slightly lip sided anyway (even when perfectly aligned).
The worksurfaces are joined and bolted, all appliances except the dishwasher are plumbed in. I also have a feeling that the washing machine will vibrate in operation which may be too close the work unit side panels.
However a week over schedule and even I have lost patience.the builder had to go but his mate (no experience and is a messy liability) needs to finish off painting, grouting, moving a hinge on a door due to the sink depth (needs a door hole added) etc.
To complete they used - my tile saw, tile cutter, laser level, angle grider, SDS drill, wood working 90 deg, etc.. to give you an. Idea of how unprepared they were.
I had to core (no comment about external extractor duct in our contract or the plans I gave).
Cooked (heated up) a store bought apple crumble to test out after a 40 minute 220degC test.
I have a feeling I will be sorting out issues myself. It will function and look great but needs some tlc.
I think wren kitchens are easy to install however they have more pieces which need cutting if the room is not entirely square.
The work tops are more complex than normal solid worktops.
The issues is if the builder has not scheduled enough time then it becomes a problem.
