I'd use 20 mm conduit myself

Or 25mm oval ?

I wouldn't bother. You'll bound to miss or forget something. You wouldn't start installing some kitchen furniture 'cos the installers not available.

You should just wait as others have already said; have your kitchen installer come up with a suitable 'timeline', with dates for all the trades to attend.

20MM tube buried and plastered over, trying to get 2x2.5mm T and E in? good luck with that.

The cables would require some serious greasing up but doable over short lengths


25mm conduit would be much easier

Or just install one conduit fir each cable.

Shot run in a straight line not a problem perhaps your not gentle enough

"Gentle enough" please explain!

Can you sketch the layout. I know you say it's a small kitchen but it is where the most appliances live. Four sockets sound inadequate. Talk it through with your spark send him a nice piccy with the layout.

If you have two fit 2 X 2.5 t+e in say 1500mm of 20 mm conduit as long as the cables are straight then they will fit easily with no lube in sight

I agree if the tube is fitted to a wooden wall in a classroom. Lost count of the number of rewires I was involved in, where the buider has jumped the gun and stuck some conduit in and plastered over it, "sparky can get his wires up there no problem"

20 mm will be fine.

How many dead straight runs have you come across in tube chased in and plastered over, only takes a little curve or deviation to spoil your day imo.
