Isolation for under worktop appliances ?

[Soulsurfer]

Hey all,

Quick ask,
Client has say larder fridge or dishwasher under worktop in kitchen or in unit. Do you fit a d.p. switch or sfcu above worktop on wall to isolate without needing to pull out appliance ? or is it to belt & braces ? I thought that it was regs or OSG listed but not sure. I've always done it but client would rather no extra switches on kitchen wall above counters or Bunker as my Scotty wife calls em ;-)

I did a job a few years ago in which the customer wanted no visible sockets etc
Power was via pop up sockets and a couple behind a roller shutter cupboard
She wouldn't have grid switches or anything in the lower cupboards most of which were drawers anyway

So with no other option that seemed feasible ,Sfcu's were positioned above the high level cupboards so they weren't visible
So at least they were accessible albeit via steps!

Wow, customers like that i walk away from, what a pain!

if she is that fussy about a socket in a cupboard u know shes going to be a nightmare
