Sockets under Sink ?

[Lioned]

Most new kitchens you seem to have no option but to install sockets (for wash machine/dish washer etc) under the sink in the base unit.
I do not believe there is any reg's restricting this but some kitchen fitters i come across still seem to think it is taboo (though they do it anyway).

Am i right,that as long as circuit is protected by rcd/rcbo there is not a problem ?

Thanks

I was taught FCUs above worktop to low level or high level sockets or flex oultets for extractor hoods etc and low level sockets behind cooker etc and washers

but i see no problem due to necessity and no other way if installing in a fixed cupboard apart from what if someone decides to rip kitchen out and dont notice a Fused spur or cooker DP switch and all the wring comes with it also have seen some where chopped in above worktop and when underneath cable just slung behind cupbaords dog rough in my veiw looks like a washing line as does my brothers kitchen which cost him a fortune
the transformers and wiring for the selv pelmet lighting is slung on top of the amarican style freezer which slides into a intergrated unit
and a double high level for freezer with 2 T/e dropping down behind worktops

guess who is going to sort this mess out

for fridge freezers and chest freezers would you install fcu or just wire sockets into the kitchen ring

I would not use fcu for a fridge/freezer.Just a single 'unswitched' socket outlet.If i had the opportunity i'd run a seperate circuit for the freezer.
