Professional worktop end cap fitting - exposed worktop edges finished properly with matching end strips. Clean look, moisture protection, professional finish.
### The Finish Your Kitchen Deserves
Exposed worktop edges look unfinished and let moisture in. **An end cap transforms a raw edge into a neat, professional finish.** Quick job, big difference.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Moisture is the enemy. If water gets to the chipboard core, it swells and destroys the worktop. End caps seal that edge.

Frequently Asked Questions about Worktop end cap fitting in Ottery St Mary
What is a worktop end cap?
A strip that covers the exposed end of a laminate worktop. Without it, you see the chipboard core and water can get in. End caps give a neat, finished appearance.
Why do end caps come off?
Usually moisture getting under them, poor original fitting, or impacts. Once water gets to the chipboard underneath, it swells and pushes the cap off.
Can you match my worktop colour?
Most manufacturers sell matching end caps. If not available, generic colours (black, aluminium) can look intentional. We'll find the best match possible.
What about the edges at the wall?
Wall edges don't usually need end caps - they're hidden by upstands or splashback. End caps are for exposed edges you can see.
