Good outcome but had to come back a second day for the right part. Worked out fine — just a heads-up to confirm parts are in stock.

Plug works perfectly, position is exactly what I asked for. Took slightly longer than quoted, but no extra charge — fair.

Neat cabling, no mess to clean up after. COC sorted without me asking.

Found the issue in about 40 minutes — undersized cable to the kitchen circuit. Re-pulled the cable, signed COC. No more trips.
