New kitchen electrical safety question

[Peter2009]

I've just had a new kitchen fitted and the installer came out several months ago before work was due to start and checked out what needed doing and at that time he never advised me that I needed extra power plugs.

He started the work last week and advised me that I would need to purchase a 5 meter extension and run it round the back of the kitchen to the dishwasher as there isnt a plug.

I wanted to get some advice if this is safe and if the installer should have taken the time to install the extra power point.


Thanks

a socket and a plug top.

Argh like to see you’re using the correct terminology

Why not a complete plug. A top is pretty useless by itself.

Don't be silly, thats what a socket is for.

Oh dear, who woke him up?

Hope everything has manufacturer's instructions with it so we know how to use it.

I think in this weather, we don’t mind if plugs go around topless

I'm such a pedant...so am intrigued by the idea of a 5 meter extension cable...
I suppose the meters would be volts, watts, amps maybe, but what about the other two?

Ha, that’s easy - Power Factor and Care Factor

Ohms and microFarads?
