Default Plug socket in Conservatory

I am having a lean to conservatory built with a dwarf wall 3.4m wide x 3m. The
base and ground work has been done but awaiting the frame of the lean to, to
be built. My question is, where to site the double soctets. I plan to have one
either side of the conservatory. However on the one side I plan to have 4 x
Base units + work top installed to house a tumble dryer and create a utility.
For the 3rd socket, I'd like it above the worktop, but am not sure this is
possible? The dwarf wall is lower than the work top will be when done, so I
just need to advise the electriclan where I will want them. On the side of the
he lean to - where the worktop will be installed - there is no useable outside
wall - it will be placed in front of the patio door partially.

So - is it possible to extend and site a double socket onto the upvc frame (I
suspect not) or should I get my kitchen fitter at a later date to use one of
those socket extenders that are built into a worktop?

Appreciate any advice before I have the electrics done conservatory plastered
so I know what to advise them...

I can't see a problem with putting sockets on the pvc.

If it is large enough for the socket. Might look pretty odd if you mounted
it on a glazing bar.
