Pop up Sockets

[Nektrum]

Hello Chaps

I'm Looking for pop up sockets for a friends kitchen. My dilemma is, I don't want what is essentially an extension cable that I can power low power utensils off a 13A plug for ie phone chargers etc. I want a pop up twin socket on the kitchen work bench that i can incorporate into a ring main. The reason for this is because the kitchen is basically in a conservatory and there's no physical place to put install it.
Any ideas where i can purchase these or ideas that i can swerve this problem.:rolleyes4:

They're crap mate, don't touch them. They're nothing but a gimmick which is supposed to look good on an island unit but doesn't.

Talk your friend out of installing them.

another one who wants a kitchen that 'looks good' but is totally impractical

The only attractive thing in a kitchen should be a woman, that's why they have little feet so they can get closer to the cooker and sink. :sifone:

I think there crap too. But i cant think of any way to have a socket to boil a kettle etc In a glasshouse there's nowhere to attach a back box unless i screw it to glass! obviously an extension cable wont do. I want a flip up twin socket to incorperate a ring main.

Should i call them Flip up sockets instead???

Presumably there is some kind of work surface on which to rest the kettle; would some kind of bench trunking be out of the question?

 

[Nektrum]

Hmmm Bench trunking is deffo an idea. Ive normally installed that in labs or hospitals that ive worked in. it never crossed my mind to do it in this kitchen.

Dado trunking

its a strange one this... having full kitchen power potential without using those crap extension pop up sockets, in a place where its impossible to attach anything to any walls!!

Dado trunking

not enough space between window and kitchen units

 

[trev]

There must be cabinets.

on top of units with dado simple.

Do you mean dado trunking flat on the units or bench trunking which is not going to get crap down the sockets...
its still a thought though.

Who said anything about it flat on the units.

I'm just thinking the dado trunking I know needs to go on the wall. Anything on bench top etc is bench trunking... I could be wrong.
