About kitchen plumbing services
UK kitchens almost always drain to an external gully or a soil stack, and the run matters more than the fittings. If the job touches a gas hob it needs a Gas Safe registered engineer, and any new socket or spur near a sink falls under Part P of the Building Regulations in England and Wales.
