Thanks again i've decided against the built in cooker socket and am just going to add an extra socket. I think i'll rebuild the ring and have fcu's in the cupboards near the appliances, cheers guys

What about dry-lining .........................what about stud partioning........................... covered in the terms of fabric i guess.

There is no solid proof ..................what constitutes the fabric of a building. A stud partion wall start off as a lump of 4x2 screwed into the wall, floor and ceiling , you then stud and baton it out and fit plasterboard to it, and more than likely you fit sockets and light switches into it, so why would that be any more part of the fabric of the builiding than a kitchen base unit secured to the wall.

Providing the FCU is secure and not liable to damage, then it is acceptable, though IMO not the best way to install an accessory.

 

[domestic spark]

Exactly. NOT THE BEST WAY. said it yourself. maybe im just to prim and proper. I WOULDNT DO IT. fix accessories in units and to sides of cupboards. and i wont be slated for it either.

I don't think anyone would slate you for it, why would they.

Bs 7671 offers no definition on fabric of a building, does that mean we need to mount them on curtains

meaning?

So for discussion purposes you would consider a stud partion wall as fabric of a building but not a base unit fixed to the wall Chr!s
