While we're on the subject, is there any considerations with putting sockets behind washing machines/ dishwashers? I'll get someone in but just curious really.

Same thing. Sockets below, isolating switches in view.

Really? That's annoying.

Edit: I should elaborate. There's a window above and tile splashbacks either side. Would a fused spur in the open section next to it be adequate? I'm planning to have some non-fixed storage in here.

To comply with new Regs on a new installation .

They aren't retrospective so as long as you aren't rewiring you don't need to comply.

But as Kitchens are now a 'Special Location' any work is now Part P. Same as Bathrooms or Outdoor locations.

So you need a Part P qualified Sparks to officially sign it off.

This is bullshit BTW. I work regularly on Three Phase high amp systems as part of being an industrial / commercial sparks.

While I don't need to be Part P to do that I can't actually do the same thing on my place without having someone else sign it off.
