Requesting a check on electrical wiring in Kitchen

[Vortigern]

presumably you are going to have a fridge/washing machine/sockets for toaster/microw. oven and hob? I don't really get what you are asking? So let's just take the hob and oven. Where is the on off switch/control for both of them? What rating is the hob and oven or are they gas? Where are your sockets - is it only that double socket I see (nowhere near enough then) I see a spur hanging around for the hob? Where is the washing machine supply? No undercupboard lights? (shame on a new Kitchen!) What are those bits of metal going horizontally. I'll give you two points for each question answered. Oh and what about the other three walls????
P.S. that angled cable top right, is that because your kitchen ceiling slopes down there. Where is the extraction?

I think the horizontal metal strips are to hang the wall cupboards off, shame they seem to be upside down.
DO I GET MY 2 PINTS?

 

[Mike Johnson]

More than two, well spotted that man.

Those cupboard hanging rails apart from being upside down don't look as though they have many decent fixings either, considering the combined weight of loaded up wall units that could end up hanging off them.

Who did this?
Kitchen fitter apprentice, first day at work.
diy dave down the pub that claims he used to fit kitchens until covid hit the business.

this has the look and feel of a cash job that has no warranty.
I would suggest you @deamonata re-read and take note of my post #7
so many issues that you need to take up with the company that is going to hand you the bill.

p.s. if you are managing this project yourself, buying parts and ordering labour, you are out of your depth and need help from a professional kitchen fitting company. in many ways they are not perfect but they likely to do a lot better than you have got so far.

So this is an IKEA kitchen. They organised the fitter who then organised the supplemental works (electrics ect). I can't comment on the suitability of the rails/ how well they are secured but a quick check online does look like they are mounted the correct way up at least.

The fridge, freezer and oven are all the othe side out of shot of the image. It the far corner there is a second double socket (behind the ladder you can see where the back box will go) and there is another of the other side of the window.

There is a plan, there is a full 3d model of the kitchen which was done with IKEA which focused on organising and then when the fitter come out pre installation we went through the additional thinks that would also need changing (moving some of the sockets because they were close to sinks ect.) admittedly the isolation switch location wasn't discussed though.

 

[Mike Johnson]

Ikea in their own way do things differently, the cabinet fixings are a clamp rather than hanging on a rail, so it does look as though your fittings on the wall are correct.

To be far, when I did kitchen refurbs, the kitchen manufacturer never advised on positioning of electrical outlets in their kitchen unit plans. That would be down to the company commissioned to do the install, with guidance from a competent electrician.

Thats basically what happened here.

There are a few bits that have been less than smooth and a few bits where they've cut a corner I wouldn't have, but arguably so far as I can tell none of it will matter in the final kitchen.

The only real worry I've had is was if the cable for the hob was within regs. I'm probably going to have to do some fixes after they are done. For example we now have a hole in the wall into the cupboard under the stairs where they ran cables which will need filling before I can plaster and also some of the cables in the wall aren't as well secured as I would like which meant I didn't plaster them last night as they would protrude through the plaster.

So far (and to the best of my ability to judge) the quality of the work isn't to the level where I would recommend them or ask them back to do future work but not so bad that I would complain.

They are the correct way up. But Could do with a few more fixings ! And common sense says "cap " the cables
