[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 282758, member: 16173"] From a practical point of view when planning a kitchen it might be worth you reading up on the Part P requirements, LOTS to take on board, and little things like minimum height of sockets above worktops, minimum distance of sockets in relation to sinks, positioning of cooker switches e.g. not where you have to reach over the hob etc. The Part P Doctor (one of the sponsors on here) does a book on Part P which I assume covers these things. Loads of little things where a bit of forethought can help. Do you supply the fridge and freezer from their own dedicated circuit(s)? Do you supply that single oven over 2kW by plugging into the ring or again it's own dedicated circuit? Instead of a ring maybe a couple of radials? Under cupboard lighting - how will you feed / switch that? Ditto plinth lighting. Do you minimize chasing by running the socket wiring in continuous, decorative angled trunking up under the cupboards or use angled "lab" sockets atop the worktop? (TBH not read it as I have the IET and NICEIC ones myself but only hear good things). ...........only mention these as I have "a friend" who did his kitchen and thought about some of this stuff after the event! :Blushing [/QUOTE]
