We had a new kitchen installed last year, including integrated appliances (dishwasher & washing machine). The sockets were fitted in adjacent cupboards by the electrician, & the kitchen fitter then installed the appliances. A year later, our dishwasher tripped the mains & then wouldn't work. The engineer has been out & has found that the fitter cut the power cable so that he could fit the plug through the small hole in the cupboard (rather than make the hole bigger?). The engineer advises that this was illegal & a fire risk - we could see on the cable where it & the insulating tape had melted. What is my best course of action now? Is there a trade body? I'm concerned he could have done the same to the machine machine so have turned it off at the mains.
