I will do, have a delivery date for the cabinets now of 18th November, so should all be done for christmas. :D

On our waste disposal I'm getting a fused switch fitted on a spur from the ring, then running the wire inside the cavity down to a flex outlet plate. The waste disposal is switched by a vacum switch mounted to the sink, the fused switch is just for isolation.

Yup, alot of the stuff in the kitchen is bespoke, only way to get what we want. Ordereding from here - http://www.stainlessdirectuk.co.uk/?i=21129 You'll be surprised at how little it costs.

Thanks. Loads of usefull stuff there, will keep me busy for hours.

That didn't stop you commenting!!!!!!! :wink:

Thanks, I'll be doing that, belt & braces.

Thanks, fused it is then. It's only having a 5amp toaster occasionally pugged into it. 13A fused fitted, I'll never get near the 20A rating of the device.

That was my thinking behind using a FCU. But then I started thinking that you could take a socket on a spur from a ring, so there is little difference (except the spillage issues of course). From waht I can make out the cable is rated to 20A.

I have a "pop up" kitchen socket to go in the new kitchen like this - http://www.schulte.com/index.php To power it I understand I can pop a fused spur of the ring main in, but I am limited to a 13A current draw onm the fused spur, so am I right in saying I can just pop a junction box in and...

But I'll bet an awfull lot of people still do it & are oblivious to the regs.

If you look at the time I posted, we must have hit submit at the same time, hence me "not picking up the hint"

But surley it's a good idea?

Damn, thought I may have found somewhere toi rival the prices of Worktop Express.

As part of the kitchen re-modeling we are popping in some stainless splashbacks, two of them have socket cutouts in. My question is do they require earth bonding as they have sockets it them as there is the potential, albeit small, for the splashback to become live.

Bugger me, our units are coming in at just under £7k, but I suppose there are 25 of them.

That's what eveybody thinks about new cars, trust me, there will be rail dust & all sorts on the paint. After a month or two these start to corrode & only a good clay will get them off properly.

It is on a ring, I checked. Still want to get the double socket replaced with two fused switches, we have plenty of sockets & this double is a nice distance from the sink area, then use the output from the two fused switches for the waste disposal & the boiling water tap.

I'm having fused switches above the units & outlets below the units for the boiling water tap, built in DAB & waste disposal in the new kitchen

Supaguard is crap. Take it to a decent detail, someone like this chap will charge you about £130 to sort the paint to a very high standard & will take real car whilst doing the work - www.thedetaildoctor.co.uk
