Is this safe? Acceptable?

[Tartan Paint]

Hi there. Looking to get some advice on some work we’re having done: Kitchen installers have installed a socket under the sink by these pipes. They ran it by me on the plans and it seemed sensible from an access pov but seeing it makes me feel concerned that if those pipes sprung a leak we could create a hazard. I’m I being overly cautious? Should I be telling them to reposition it? They haven’t supplied a certificate yet.

Thanks in advance!

Just noticed part of a drawer runner in the pic., so might be a drawer unit with the drawers removed.
Still rough as a badger's, but at least it's hidden, (along with both the water and electrical isolators.)

Nothing to do with your question…. But I knew I had this pic somewhere…

Here is that stuff in use:

Different clan of course.

If a kitchen fitter butchered my new unit like that, they wouldn't be getting paid. Very poor workmanship, and as mentioned in posts above, the sockets should be two singles in a dual box, mounted nearer the front of the cabinet, so as to be accessible. (Read the instruction books for the appliances - they probably say that power should be switched off when not in use).

I'm not sure I would have them finishing the job if I saw them doing that butchery

It's not perfect, but it's not fundamentally wrong, and it's what you have now. Make an opening for the cables to come through and fit a splash guard across the opening with a bit of perspex or a scrap of hardboard, I expect the kitchen fitters left loads of that lying around

I'd rip it out, fit 2 single patresses, then the plugs would stand a bit proud of the cardboard instead of the flexes being bent, and the chances of not being inserted fully.

Why have they cut that massive hole for the flexi hoses? Just hole saw to the correct size just so the threaded bit can poke through, looks miles neater.

There is a waste as well...but I'm guessing as that cut looks neat and not chewed through it was already part of the base unit

It looks like an IKEA base unit for a sink, they have this type of cutout.

Never knew that. Still think it's far too much cut out for what it's accommodating.
