Hi was wondering if this is complicated job or if i need professionals. i'm pretty competent but i have never really done any electrical work apart from moving the odd socket and wiring up a light
I had my house rewired 4 years ago and at the time all my appliances where in the kitchen. we have since moved them into the utility but now our lass want work top in the utility too
Now the problem i have is all the sockets are above work top level and i dont want holes in the new wooden work top to allow plugs and wires to pass. I have since seen in my mates house that all his appliances plug in under the work top and there is a fused switch above the work top to turn the power on and off so you never need to unplug the appliance unless removing.
Is this an easy conversion? is it just a case of dropping the existing sockets down ( at what height do these need to be to meet any regs) put new fused switches in the place where the sockets used to be and wire up and connect the fused switches to the relating socket. (what sort of fused switches would i need?)
or am i way off
Thanks for any help
