Sounds a little overkill there Gary. I'll see if I can be arsed adding the fused spur when it comes to doing the job. | |

Would still put a fused spur inline of the new socket, regs say you don't have to but it's better to be safe, it's how ive always done it. | |

Surprisingly the kitchen doesn't have a cooker switch yet as it's not had a rewire in about 15 years or more. The old cooker was gas but were installing a gas hob and electric oven so will need to fit a cooker switch. As you say, 2 cooker switches could be confusing to someone. Cheers:thumbs: | |

My cousin is an electrician so it wouldn't be an issue to get him to do it. Just need to find out is a cooker switch could be used. I wouldn't have sunk the extension lead. | |

Definitely put in a switched spur rather than a cooker socket. That said, if you plan to bury an extension lead into a wall perhaps getting someone in to do the electrics would be a better idea..... | |

If your adding/changing stuff they need to be notified. | |

If your putting in new plugs/sockets into the kitchen (annoyingly IMO) you either need to notify the council or get someone in to do it | |

Yes I suppose that's another alternative. I just wanted the switch for the appliances easily accessible. | |

If you are hiding the cable in the wall why not just run a switched and fused spur to a couple of sockets beside the washer and drier? | |
