I have just had an electric cooktop installed in my kitchen benchtop. Beneath it is a cupboard on one side, and draws on the other. The electrician ran the cabling from the wall oven, through the draws/cuboards and up into the bottom of the cooktop. He has only fastened it with a plastic fastener at the top of the cable and the rest of it is loose in the back of the cupboard in a loop. My questions are - 1) is it OK to have the cabling in the cupboard or does it definitely have to be in the wall? 2) is it OK loose, or should it be secure. Everytime we open and close the draws on one side it hits the cable.

That sounds appalling!
It is usual to chase it in the wall, but not absolutely necessary.
The important thing is that it is protected and secure.
Is there any reason why he can't chase it in the wall other than laziness.
I would have him back and tell him to do it properly.
