I tiled to the wall. I'm expecting the tiles to last longer than
the rest of the kitchen. A "professionally" installed kitchen
tiled up to the plinth, except in the gap for a washing machine
where they go right back to the wall. The effect of this was to
leave insufficient height for some standard washing machines
under the worktop, as the units are all standing on a lower floor.
The nice thing about DIY is you can do it properly.



Raise the legs?
