Raised tiles in corner

Hi,

I need to make a 90 degree (or slightly less) joint. But the end of the worktop with the female joint butts up against a raised area of tiles in the corner (tiled area runs along side

of ‘female worktop’ too, but that isn’t an issue). The tiled area starts half way down the wall, goes down to the skirting board, and extends just beyond the width of the ‘female

worktop’. The tiles are raised about 20 mm from the wall on very hard material; it’s difficult to shift even with a chisel, but I suppose it’s do-able. I also need to fit a washing

machine under the ‘male worktop’ but the edge of the tiled area is slightly in the way (the w/m would protrude at front of male w/t if side of male w/t is scribed around protruding

tile area so as to be butted against wall).

The easiest solution would be to put male worktop infront of tiled area, and fill gap between end of tile area and the wall at opposite end of male w/t with a batten + moulding etc.

Short of removing all the tiled area that’s in the way of the end of the worktops in the corner, all other solutions make me nervous about the width setting for the jig. Also, since

there’s a window board 6″ above male worktop, I can’t lift it at the ‘male end’ in order to scribe other end against wall should I elect to scribe w/t to fit around tiled area

and then remove edge of tiled area that’s in the way of w/m underneath.

On the off chance that makes any sense…any suggestions?

One other complication! The ‘female worktop’ has a sink, and the drainer cut-out means there isn’t enough wood for one of the w/t bolts. I’m thinking of drilling from inside

drainer cut out through into male worktop and using a couple of 100 mm 12 gauge chipboard screws . Is that OK?

Thanks

Jon
