Local isolation requirement for appliances

[Masood]

Cheers all, just what I needed! To be clear, customer (landlord, who I work for direct), has no problem with things being done right, and he trusts me.

The agent claimed that I was making work for myself and there was no requirement to have isos, because his team refurbed the kitchens and I noted this on the CP12.

Now the landlord is getting me to rectify, and the agent will be paying me out of what he charged for the kitchen works, so he's unhappy at losing some of his profit...

You have always had to fit an isolating valve to every appliance as far back as i can remember.
The usual agents knowing everything about feck all.

We have just recently replaced some electric ovens fitted under units, which are deeper than the old existing, and have to do serious modification to the hob pipe work to fit the new ovens,there was not enough room for the pipes to run at the back of the ovens, there were drawer units either side with deep drawers, so no valves could be fitted.

iso valves in/ under plinth of cupboard most suitable or another smaller oven should be fitted.
