Modern kitchens place significant demands on electrical services. Changes should be planned alongside the kitchen layout so sockets, lighting and appliance supplies are in suitable positions before fitting and finishing are completed.
Electrical work for kitchens
Projects may involve alterations to socket positions, appliance supplies, lighting and other electrical work required by the design. Existing circuits and the proposed load need to be considered by an appropriately qualified electrician.
Plan electrics before final fitting
Provide the kitchen plan and appliance specifications where possible. This helps establish positions and requirements before cabinets, splashbacks and worktops restrict access.
