Kitchen Electrical
Upgrades and Installations
Kitchen electrics designed properly. New cooker and hob circuits, extractor hood wiring, under-cabinet lighting, USB sockets, boiling water tap circuits and full kitchen rewires. Every job certified to BS 7671 18th Edition with the right circuit sizing for the right appliance.
Kitchens have more electrical demand than any other room in the house. Cookers, hobs, ovens, microwaves, fridges, dishwashers, kettles, toasters and increasingly boiling water taps and induction systems all need the right circuit sizing. We design and install kitchen electrics from new sockets and dedicated cooker circuits through to full rewires for kitchen extensions and major refurbs. Every notifiable job is certified through NAPIT and self-certified under Part P which means no separate building control fees.
Kitchens fail more EICRs than any other room
Most kitchens we EICR test in older homes have at least one C2 fail. Cooker on undersized cable, hob fed from a 13A spur, single sockets near the sink, missing splashback height, no isolators on appliances. The kitchen is where most of the high-load appliances live and where most of the electrical mistakes get made.
We design every kitchen install around the actual loads being drawn, the latest BS 7671 rules and how the family actually uses the space. No guesswork, no shortcuts and no upselling. Every notifiable job NAPIT certified.
- Dedicated cooker circuit sized for the cooker rating (32A or 45A)
- Splashback-height sockets at least 100mm above worktop
- RCD protection on every kitchen circuit (mandatory)
- Isolators above the worktop for under-counter appliances
- Full certification: EIC, MWC and NAPIT registration within 30 days
Why kitchen wiring
has to be done right
Modern kitchens draw enormous current peaks. A typical induction hob alone can pull 7.4kW. The whole circuit design has to cope with all of it running at once.
Cooker Circuit
Most domestic ovens and electric cookers up to 12kW need a dedicated 32A circuit on 6mm cable. Larger ranges and hobs may need 45A.
Standard Kitchen Setup
Modern kitchens normally have two 32A ring circuits: one for sockets above the worktop and one for under-counter appliances and isolators.
Socket Above Worktop
Sockets must be at least 100mm above the worktop surface. The 13A socket must also be at least 300mm from any sink to limit splash risk.
Typical Install Time
Kitchen rewires usually take one to two days for first fix and second fix. Standalone upgrades like adding a cooker circuit often done in half a day.
