Default Worktop to wall (sealing)

I don't know the correct way to seal a worktop to the wall but I was going
to seal it to the wall with transparent silicone before tiling. After tiling
should I then run a bead of silicone along the tile/worktop edge or will the
grout be sufficient considering I have already sealed the worktop behind the
tiles.


Depends a bit on just how big the gaps are!

Normally you could tile and then run a bead of silicone sealant along
the tile / worktop joint. If your gaps are so big as to be bigger than
the thickness of a the tiles (i.e. you wouls still have a vertical gap
at this point) then you have a bit more of a problem.

Perhaps one of the worktop sealing strips would do the trick. Fix in
place as directed and then ensure that is well sealed in with silicone
top and bottom.
