At 75 years old I would have great trouble pulling it out in the event of an emergency. .

Cant you just pull it out just a few inches and do reach-around

All above is right, although i would add Baxi recommend boiler on plug top, as when removed, it's full isolation. An FCU still has possibility of being wired badly, and removing fuse/switch off could still kill you.

Don't worry him even more

An update, the electricians boss agrees with me that it is not accessible so is getting him back in to move it along the wall this afternoon so that it will be at the side of the fridge freezer not behind it.

Unswitched socket behind fridge connected to switched fcu fitted in line with sockets above worktop.
Alternatively switched socket in adjacent cabinet with hole to thread plug through from underneath.

Just moving the double switched socket 18 inches along the wall.

All done and dusted. I am happy now. Wife and him had an argument and as usual she won as he said if there was a fire it would blow the electrics but she said if it was burning still she would want to unplug it so he reluctantly moved it, Well done Mrs BG.

I bet your wife did win.....she must get loads of practice.

She gets plenty of practice against me but rarely wins, although I do sometimes let her

Is it acceptable to you ?? Why do you think any wiring you get done may be illegal ?? surely you can do what you want in your own house !!

Still wouldn't recommend putting a double socket behind the bath taps to charge your iPad and plug in you hair dryer though.

Wives are useful when they're shouting at other people.

But if the fridge is on fire, I don't think that 18 inches will help much - you'll still want to turn off the main fusebox if it hasn't already tripped.

All of this could have been avoided had Mrs BG been the Project Manager and she sent BG away for a couple of days (eg to Ben's) while the work was done.

She would have been better than the existing one who we were told yesterday was on 2 days anual leave. No deputy was appointed or put in place to deal with any problems.

I’m gonna have a stab in the dark, you went with the cheapest quote and the guy could start almost immediately?
