I assume with it being a 'modern' building, the circuits have RCD protection?

the building could be as old as the hills.....its the age of the install that counts.....and the earthing arrangements of course

All i'm getting at is it's all well and good chuckling at how 'over protective' a kitchen fitter's being when the install may not even have RCD protection.

and whats PVC/metal channel got to do with RCDs?....or `additional protection`?..

Well if this installation is to be suitable to 17th edition standards i'd like to know if it's protected by a RCD thats all.

Capping or no capping.

Is that ok with you Glenn?

A bit harsh that!! I've seen many a crap job by electricians with many years experience and some great jobs by the kitchen fitters/builders (Electrical Trainee's).

A crap install is a crap install regardless of who is responsible for the installation and bad advice is bad advice regardless of who it came from.

If clearance of 50mm from the surface cannot be achieved capping should be used along with being rcd protected
