Worktop Protector Update - Aug 2020
After a prolonged period of shielding and the worktop protector manufacturer being closed due to Covid 19, we are hoping to get another batch of these made up shortly.
As he is so busy, we have placed an order for just 10 of each for now to cover the older and newer models with the split worktops. A few of you have been asking for coloured kits, so I will ascertain what colours he has in stock and list them in due course. He is very busy at the moment so cannot guarantee he will produce coloured kits.
Please register your interest by sending me a private message or email to ajsmail@blueyonder.co.uk and please put "worktop protector" in the subject heading.
Many thanks.

Hi, I have just noticed 2 scratches, one on the fridge lid and onion the cooker lid. It is virtually new and we have been so careful!! I'm guessing from the posts that this can happen quite easily?! Bad design! I see you sell protectors. Mine is a 2019 cali ocean with the split lids. Do you sell these and also the lid for the fridge too? What is the cost and are they all opaque? Are they to protect and curious are they slightly sticky to prevent items slipping? What do you clean them with and can they move once fitted? Or easy to remove if needed?? Thanks in advance.Worktop Protector Update 19 August 2020
The latest batch of worktop protectors have now been sent out so should be arriving soon. For anyone who has purchased a kit, please do read the instructions before fitting them, these were sent to you by private message or email. Please also take a look at our youtube video below:
Fitting Instructions
We should have some photos of the kits fitted to the new T6.1 kitchen in a few days so I will post these on here in due course.
I think we have now responded to all previous emails and private messages informing those who showed previous interest that the kits are now available so the remaining few kits are now available to anyone who wants one.
If you would like your kit please let me know and I will get them sent out asap.
Payment of £27.50 can be sent to our preferred bank account or via PayPal to: ajsmail@blueyonder.co.uk
Many thanks,

Yes to all of the above and definitely worth fitting. We had the same issue. You don’t notice the standard frosted ones but you can get coloured ones.Hi, I have just noticed 2 scratches, one on the fridge lid and onion the cooker lid.

I want it to look like the original so frosted is good! What is the cost for all 3 sections? Do you have stock at present?Yes to all of the above and definitely worth fitting. We had the same issue. You don’t notice the standard frosted ones but you can get coloured ones.
We have had these on our California for 4 years..The original glass is very soft and scratches very easily which ours did in no time at all. These cover up any scratches and they just disappear. Another point is that although they are a frosted plastic they are very hard when fitted and won’t mark unlike the glass..Ours are still like new after 4 years..Hi, I have just noticed 2 scratches, one on the fridge lid and onion the cooker lid.

Not heat resistant to my knowledge, neither is the glass to point heat sources such as a hot kettle or closing lid on a hot gas burner.we fitted these recently. was unable to come back and review on though due to loss of broadband for a month. we found fitting a bit fiddly and struggled to eliminate bubbles which seem to keep reappearing. however got it done and then left for a while before having another look/using the van. seems fine except for the one over the cooker which has been left with a few very small bubbles. I am sure we were just not meticulous enough when laying it. generally pleased and happy with result. would like to know if the protectors are heat resistant (I am sure they are) i.e. what would happen if a hot kettle sat on them? can confirm there is a small gap at the back due to us having the 6.1. but this is OK too. overall would recommend product.
Does the lid closing not knock off the gas supply to the burners? I will be shocked to the core if it doesn’t. PS not got the van yet to checkNot heat resistant to my knowledge, neither is the glass to point heat sources such as a hot kettle or closing lid on a hot gas burner.
No. Stopcock L upper corner, L side of kitchen.Does the lid closing not knock off the gas supply to the burners? I will be shocked to the core if it doesn’t. PS not got the van yet to check
So theoretically you could close the lid on a lit burner? surprises me every other cooker I know has a cut off valve on the hinge?No. Stopcock L upper corner, L side of kitchen.
Yes. But you'll only do it once.So theoretically you could close the lid on a lit burner? surprises me every other cooker I know has a cut off valve on the hinge?
Once would be one too manyYes. But you'll only do it once.
