40 grand kitchen!

[puddle]

was going to sat kitchen only cost £4000 and the plumber £36,000 :smilewinkgrin:

But no plumber involved

The reason you can not see trap base is because it is at the bottom of the unit,the silver coloured waste pipework running downwards should be cut to required length and thread on nut connecting to tap has ptfe tape on it for no reason,that and state of pipework under sink points to maybe a butcher or candle stick maker

nice to see electric plugs are colour coded though :lol:

I dont think those sockets should be there to be honest. Not 100 % sure but, cant imagine that work has been done legaly.

I may be wrong but, in my experience sockets under the unit normally have a fused swith above worktops (not a switched socket in a unit, especialy under the sink)

Deffo not something you would expect for a high end kitchen!

Agree with tfs. Thought that was illegal having plugs there.

 

[Brinkley]

its not illegal just not good practice sockets under a sink are a must for waste disposal units , water boilers etc push fit is a deff no no they take up too much room and also show lack of plumbing skill.

 

[Saltire69]

Are they not supposed to hard wired with on/off on splash back?

 

[Brinkley]

the ones we do are hardwired basicay on/off switches and they are usually located in the control centre which is normay under the sink.
A lot of our kitchens are high end and involve water boiler taps and waste disposal units and more often then not the customer wants these switches tucked away hence under the sink but my god those pics are shocking

thats one high priced kit is it worth that really

 

[Mike]

i wouldn't say its worth that, but it has 4 neff ovens and granite tops. the units are metal so i guess that makes it expensive

The sockets or points in the kitchen for appliances have to be accessible for isolation so switched sockets is an acceptable method. Thats how i do it but try and locate them in the units adjacent to the sink base.
