These are everywhere at the minute, but can't spare the counter space. Gonna be 3 double sockets, coffee grinder, kettle, toaster take up 3 of them, poss microwave tucked in a cupboard too (instead of integrated ones, as none will fit in the cabinets/door combo we want.
Currently watching cartoons waiting for pva/water to dry enough on wall to slap some thistle bonding coat on it. Bricks + mortar look great with PVA sealing them.

Totally re doing our kitchen, started as a 'lets just change doors', now half the plaster is off/fell off, electrical gremlins everywhere etc etc.
Need to decide on backsplash sockets, I hate having sockets in/on the tiles, fancy some that sit under the wall cabinets. Wickes used to supply these, which are a glorified 2 gang extension, either plug them into a socket below the counter and loop them up, or hardwire them in, treating them as a single spur off the socket ring main.
But they don't sell them anymore, I know the manufacturer is Hafele, but they also cannot supply them, found one on ebay, need two or three though!
Looked all over interwebs (maybe I'm using wrong term for them?) and only found american versions, UK doesn't seem keen on this type of socket maybe? Anyone seen some small/low profile ones that aren't nasty (don't want bluetooth speaker NFC dock I phone charging china junk)
