RenovationsKitchen Renovation Electrics Checklist
Kitchen renovations are much easier when the electrics are planned before the room is plastered, tiled or fitted. Appliance positions, sockets, lighting and isolators all need thinking through early.
Key points
Quick summary
Plan the layout first
The electrical plan should follow the kitchen layout. Think about where appliances, worktops, islands, cupboards, extractors and lighting zones will be before first fix work starts.
What to include
A kitchen often needs more than basic sockets. Appliances, isolators, under-cabinet lighting, extractor supplies, cooker circuits and feature lighting should be considered early.
Check the existing installation
If the property is older or circuits have been altered before, the existing wiring and consumer unit may need reviewing before new kitchen circuits or upgrades are planned.
Send plans and photos
If you have a kitchen plan, send it with photos of the room, the current sockets and the consumer unit. If not, a simple sketch can still help.
Common QuestionsWhen should I book kitchen electrics?
Book early in the renovation process, ideally before plastering, tiling and final units are installed.
Do I need a separate circuit for kitchen appliances?
It depends on the appliance, existing circuits and the design. The setup should be reviewed before work starts.
