    I'm looking for some ideas; with a lot of washing machines and undercounter appliances being 600mm deep you can't risk putting services behind these, so I find the safest way is to install sockets and cooker outlets behind the kick boards. Fine for everyone bar the sparky. It's a real pain...

    MK A3 board

    Has any one fitted one of these yet? Being 1 of the cheapest fully populated boards at £70-£80 I've seen I was wondering if they've improved? I stopped using the insulated MK boards many moons back as they are absolute rubbish IMO.
