I planned on having an electrician tomorrow to have a new electric hob installed, but as I've never cut a worktop for one before, I didn't realise that 150mm from cupboards or walls was required on the sides. As we got rid of our cooker, I installed a new 600mm cabinet in its place (next to a larder) as we needed the extra space, in hope of having the hob on top. Does this 150mm have to be adhered to or could I got to 100mm as I have seen some video installations of fitters going to 100mm....
