cooker hood

[eduardus]

Thank you plugwash,
I want to put the flex of the cooker hood into a conduit behind the splash tiles to bring it under the worktop and then plug it into a socket, so everything is hidden.
Is it whitin the regulations to place a socket under a worktop?

I don't see why not. My oven switch is under the work top and we have a socket in the sink cupboard for the washing machine. Both done by our sparky when we had our kitchen done.

But do think about what might happen if you needed to get the flex out again, ie replacement time?

take the plug off and pull out the flex, replace and do the same in reverse order
