Hi,
I'd really appreciate a reply to this, hopefully before my electrician returns in the morning, if anyone can help?!
Are there any rules regarding siting of isolating switches/sockets? The electrician has sited 5 isolating units and a double socket all in a row in my soon-to-be-new kitchen. It looks ugly! Apart from that, though, the last one is very close - about 3-4cm - to where the gas hob will be. Is that acceptable?
Thanks for any comments.

The recomended distance is 300mm from the edge of the cooker to avoid steam extra.
