I have had a new kitchen fitted with wooden worktops and a belfast sink. The worktops are in two pieces with a"tap bar" joining them, should this not be one workshop with a space cut out for the sink?
I really don't like it and the kitchen compny have told me that this is the one they are normally fitted.
Thanks

Hi Maggie,
Would it be possible for you to post a picture so we can be sure what your query relates to?
If it's what I think you mean ( a jointing strip ) butting the two pieces together, then IMHO it's a bodge job - most fitters will butt a joint using biscuits/glue to give a neat finish.
Steve :D

Hello Maggie.
Sounds like the kitchen company are trying to avoid extra work by just cutting two straight edges rather than routing out a sink cutout.
Is this more what you were thinking of:
Google "oakworktops.com/worktops/oak-worktops.html"
the last picture in the gallery. It has the tap set into the worktop.
