Hi all,
am currently having a debate with my kitchen fitters.
I am a Test/inspection electrician, and have rewired the kitchen to standard. However, to make fitting spashbacks easier, and keep them clean, I intended putting sockets in surface pattresses under the wall cabinets.
The fitters said they have never seen it, and were worried about steam getting into the sockets. The steam is a fair comment, but unless a kettle is left under them for some time, i cant see it being a problem - sockets are sealed compartments to a point... (ok, normal ones aren't ip x6 rated) ... but basically, i wont put a kettle under the cupboards !!
Any comments or am i having a dim day ?
