Or up to it once it was fitted?

Having a lovely crisis about the gap i have spent lots of time and money having made!

Do you mean floors or walls? I have laminate flooring up to the Stanley, and then it is tiled all around to provide a work surface with Fired Earth tuscan tiles (great for hot Le Creuset), and then tiled up the walls and at the back in random, cheap, spanish tiles. It's in a massive fireplace, so it was the quickest and easiest way to do it.

We tiled the visible parts of the wall only, after it was fitted.

We've tiled behind ours after fitting - although it has been in about 20 years! There was a gap between the back of the Aga and the brick wall of about 1.5cm so the tiles actually go down a bit iyswim. Why are they saying you shouldn't do it?

PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 26/05/2009 21:46

they are saying like yours they should go a couple of inches under iyswim

Actually, Paula, beg pardon, we tiled it before fitting, obviously checking height and doing a couple of inches under that. Then, as I remember, it took the engineers 3 days to 'build' the Aga in place.
