Hi allBack on the kitchen refurb!Wiring - 17th Edition/Part P Applies!If you have a cooker point at the same height as sockets, how do you chase "passsed" the cooker point to continue the ring beyond it?Rather than chasing a long way horizontally round the room, is it acceptable to: chase down below work top level, run cable in trunking down behind unit carcase to just-above-floor level (within plinth height of units), run horizontally in trunking to below the next socket location, then trunk and chase back up above work top for next socket?Cooker HoodsDo the current cooker hoods have an outlet behind the vertical column above the extraction cover straight out throught the wall IYSWIM, or is it necessary to duct off the top of the hood in the ceiling/loft space above?Is the cooker hood wired from above with fixed wiring?Plinth Heaters (Myson Kickspace)Do these fit OK under the modern cabinets with leg supports?Is it worth going for 2 Model 500s rather than 1 Model 800 to get better distribution of heat (total max calculated heat input required = 2.2Kw)Can 2 units be controlled from the same thermostat?FlooringIs it usual to floor the entire area, then fit kitchen, or fit kitchen then floor the areas that are on show?If the latter is done, presumably the legs will have to be extended on all units to ensure that there will be room under worktops for appliances.TIAPhil
