Dear All

We had a kitchen fitted about five months ago. Nice solid block beech
worktops, lovely range-style cooker. So far so good. However, we
recently noticed that the worktops are expanding and have seized the
cooker in a vice-like grip and are trying to crush it to death. The
front of the cooker has buckled a little, and we can see from the
sealant between the wall and the worktop that the worktop must have
expanded by about 0.5cm on both sides. The cooker was a nice snug
fit...

I presume this is due to the worktop expanding owing to moisture from
the kitchen rather than the summer heat. Question: What do I do???

Ideas welcomed.

Thanks

David
