Services

In short

1. 01Every service gets its wall and two measurements. These are the distance from the start of the wall and the height from the floor, to the centre of the point.
2. 02Draw in everything on the wall. That means the connections, switches, junction boxes, heating pipes and radiators.
3. 03The waste is the hardest to move, because the pipe needs a fall. Its position decides what goes under the sink.
4. 04A hob needs its own supply, often a 400 V connection, depending on the hob and the country. The electrics are done by an electrician, to local regulations.
5. 05Gas is connected by a qualified gas fitter, and the valve must stay accessible. A ducted cooker hood needs a hole in the wall, and the distance above the hob is set by the hood manufacturer.
6. 06Services are moved before the tiling. Send the installation plan to the electrician and the plumber before they come.
