Wiring and Kitchen alterations

[Calash1]

Hi guys,

Going to a job where they are having a kitchen rip out and new one installed, the upstairs has just been tiled and finished so any works to happen under the boards are a no go, what are people’s thoughts on through crimping for socket movements and chasing down to just below worktop level. Also any other kitchen wiring/alteration tips greatly appreciated.

Cheers folks!

I agree . I had a mate who fitted plaster coving for a living also plaster dado rails ect , all were nailed and punched , then filled . It stops them sliding.

Cornice is nailed coving generally is not specially as most of it that goes up these days is light weight. Still I agree the horizontal zone just below ceiling level is daft in my opinion.

I like the 150mm horizontal zone. Generally try and keep any cables within the upper 50mm though.
Re the OP. Can you not find each of the ring (if it is a ring) and extend down from each of these to supply whatever sockets etc as required. I reckon that would be a better solution to through crimping numerous sockets etc.

Shame the OP hasn't been back and updated us ..... I do hope hes not planning on crimping cables and plastering over them ........... outside of the safe zones.
