Meter & Kitchen Sink

[jase31]

Just planning a very small kitchen(ette). Is there a regulation preventing the sink being above the base unit that covers the electric meter? I now it doesnt seem like a good idea, but cannot find a way around this, apart from moving the meters (and the cost involved)

you would have to ensure that there was no possibility of a leak onto the meter etc. can you box the electrics in at all ? and what about access to the meter etc after the unit's built round them?

Get a sparky in to design it for you!

Solved. After a redesign, I can get the sink moved across to the next cupboard. This put the meters into a double unit (and allows access), and the sink is contained in a separate cupboard.

Thanks for your help.
