    Sockets behind kitchen kick boards

    I'm looking for some ideas; with a lot of washing machines and undercounter appliances being 600mm deep you can't risk putting services behind these, so I find the safest way is to install sockets and cooker outlets behind the kick boards. Fine for everyone bar the sparky. It's a real pain...
