Re: Electro expert needed
Here in the UK it appears wiring has to drop vertically to wall sockets and switches downstairs and rise vertically to them upstairs.
I haven't hit a cable yet (in 20-odd years), though many years ago Mrs Chewie asked our neighbour (a builder) to put up a kitchen cupboard while I was at work, and he went straight through the ring main about 3" above a socket.
I wouldn't know about plumbing in the walls, cos every place I've lived in has had it inside its own enclosure.
Re: Electro expert needed
unless you tell the electrician to "think" about where to put the wiring in "consideration" to those that live there - eg put the wires not where people handg doodles, if not he with his high priced desert takes the the shortest route

Kitchens are a wee bit more difficult, with all the power points at different heights scattered all over the place.
