i would like to tidy up the clutter of cables on a small kitchen worktop. Am I able to have the sockets for the kettle and toaster under the worktop and the cables drilled through the worktop and then plugged into the sockets under the worktop? Thanks in advance
I think that will cause you problems with the worktop... How do you intend to seal the raw core of the worktop in the drillings? And for other problems - What about the water and muck that will go down the drilled holes in the worktop? Where will it go? what else will ruin? Do forget crumbs etc that are left in hidey holes will be very attractive to flys, ants, cockroaches, even mice or rats.
"Where socket outlets are concealed, such as to the rear of white goods in a
kitchen , separate switching should be provided in an accessible position, to allow appliances to be isolated."

Thanks, so in theory if the cables went through a cable grommet that Gasguru sent the link, and the kettle and toaster were then plugged into a socket that would comply with regs?
