Hi, I am about to install a fitted kitchen, but would like to do all the 1st
fix electrics myself.

What I would like to know is, what is the ideal height within the kitchen to
chase the walls for wiring and back boxes for the sockets?

The current sockets fitted by the previous owner are all at different
heights, believe me no two sockets are the same height!

So any help would be appreciated.


You need to decide what height above the worktop you want them.
A typical figure an electrician would use in the absence of any
other info is 105cm from the floor surface to the bottom of the
back box. Don't forget to add on the thickness of any flooring
which isn't yet fitted though.
