• We've got a new kitchen work surface arriving in a few weeks, and possible plan to change two small kitchen windows into one much larger one soon after. If/when the new window goes in we will lose two wall sockets and the switch controlling the hidden dishwasher socket.

    Do we pre install a pop-up socket in the surface to allow for this? Or is there another way?

  • Difficult question to answer without seeing plans or anything...

  • are the sockets used all the time? we had a couple of sockets that i think are more meant for floors in our worktop - something like this

    it stood a littler prouder from the worktop that we'd hoped, but was pretty useful, and didn't get in the way too much when not in use

  • I was planning on pop-up sockets for my worktop but realised that they took up a load of cupboard space.

    We managed to get them on the wall in the end but the other option we were looking at was something in this shape to sit at the back of the worktop

  • We’ve got the below which looks great, but is rarely used as we instinctively choose to use wall-mounted sockets over the island pop-up one; it’s mainly used as a place to stack cookbooks.

    The unit takes up space within the unit below as @aggi has identified so only suitable if you can afford a loss of space within these.
