Electrician and no sockets?

[billandtedsexcellentadventure]

I’ve had an electrician come as I’m having a new kitchen fitted next week. He’s out the cables in but no sockets? I’ve obviously given him the plan but he’s just left the cables out and not put any sockets in for appliances? Is this normal?

Yep. That's first fix. He will be back once the kitchen if fitted and the decorating is done to fit the faceplates.

We're currently having a new kitchen installed. Electrician has been out, thoroughly assessed our kitchen electrics and channelled for a couple of new sockets not much changing. He's coming back after kitchen installed to do sockets and test. We currently have this sort of thing

Try again with photo!

@Sunnyside4yes!! Just like mine!! Thank goodness. Thanks everyone. Was really worried. I guess he’ll put them in the cupboards?!

Don’t suppose anyone would know about plastering? The sparky has made lots of holes in my ceiling. Plasterer is coming next week but is that an easy thing to fix or will it need re boarding all over?

Just boarding small pieces and filling and sanding would do it.
Ideally the electrician would have cut a neat hole and kept the piece to go back in the same place

In our kitchen the electrician put the cables in for the ceiling lights and made holes in the old lath and plaster ceiling which was a mess after all the work (we had a wall taken out and steels fitted). The builder then plaster boarded the ceiling and the plasterer skimmed it. When the electrician did the second fix he core drilled for the spotlights from the landing above, taking up some of the floorboards for access.

Thank you, he’s cut out neat little holes which he’s put straight in the skip. I don’t know whether to keep them incase the plasterer will use them?

Why not keep them, then at least he or she have the option of using them, quicker and easier than trying to cut matching shapes.

No harm in keeping the cut outs just in case.

We don't need anything done with our lighting and luckily the electrician could work at lower level with our electrics.

Following my photo above, plasterer is currently here. He's filling in holes that won't be covered by units, plastering where channelling has been done for electrics and skimming over where previous tiling was. Installer back on Monday. Electrician next Friday or Monday. Then tiler/floor layer.

Everyone seems really, good, but last we had a couple of less units and the installer and electrician did it all in a week. This time it's going to be 2.5 weeks, so glad it's the summer and we can wash up outside, happy to eat colder things a bit more.

I’ll fish them out of the skip just incase.
@Sunnyside4glad it’s all going well. We’ve got plasterer for next week. Then installation the following. It’s crazy the amount of work and dust!!!

That's a good idea OP. We used a couple when finishing things off and you may decide to change the placement once things are coming together.

Thanks for those who said to keep the bits is plaster the electrician took out. The plasterer was very happy about it!!
