What are you kitchen fitters going to do about the proposal to bring
electrical work within the scope the building regulations? - This will mean
that unless you are "certified electricians" you will have to report the
work to the building inspector who will come to inspect - for a fee of
course!! - interesting eh? - would welcome more input / discussion on this,
cause it affects lots of trades who fiddle with electrics as an add on. See
web sites of the Office of Deputy Prime Minister, DTI, HSE & IEE to find
out more.

For the first time ever over 60% of the kitchen industry including Magnet,
MFI, B&Q, MKD Holdings, KBSA and FIRA are in discussion to explore ways of
achieving industry standards for kitchen installers.

I'd be interested in any comments or opinions on this subject.

As things stand the second largest expenditure anyone makes after a house
and possibly a car is your kitchen and currently anyone can set up as an
installer regardless of their qualifications or ability to do the job.

In light of the horror stories relating to cowboy fitters do you think
this
is a good initiative and how best can this be implemented ?

How have you chosen your fitter or was the fitting part of the package
when
you bought the kitchen ?

Were you happy with the standard and what qualities do you look for when
choosing a person who will be part of your household for a week or more ?

All contributions will be most welcome.
