I am wiring up my kitchen, which has an open mezzanine above, some of the sockets will be supplied from the ceiling above (no problems), and some from below.

It's a solid conc floor, with thermal block walls. Is it normal to channel the cables right down to the floor, then exposed along the floor (at the back of the kitchen units) and then back up to the next socket?

Do they have to be channelled into the walls behind the units at all? Or should they be channelled/protected in all areas?

Hope you can help, thanks.

Those kitchen fitters leave them haging behind the kitchen cupboards.

If it was me I would be chasing all the cables in, these will need to be in the 'safe zones' (see the wiki etc)
 
channel them horizontally between sockets 200mm above the worktop

include RCD or RCBO

this is notifiable work
