Updating Your Kitchen? Don’t Overlook the Electrics
Whether you're installing a new kitchen in Keynsham or just moving appliances around, the electrical side of things needs just as much planning as the cabinets and countertops. And it’s not a job for anyone but a fully qualified electrician.
Why It’s Not Just Plug and Play
Modern kitchens demand more from your electrical system. Think ovens, induction hobs, extractor fans, fridge freezers, under-cabinet lighting, and USB outlets. These all need proper circuits, safe wiring, and correct protective devices at your fuse board.
What a Qualified Electrician Brings to the Table
- Design advice – We help plan your layout to ensure sockets and appliances are safely and efficiently placed.
- Safe installation – We install all wiring to current BS7671 regulations.
- Part P certification – As NICEIC-registered electricians, we self-certify all notifiable kitchen work for Building Control.
- Future-proofing – We make sure your electrics are ready for smart kitchens, EV charging, solar power integration, and more.
Signs You Need a Rewire or Fuse Board Upgrade
If your fuse board has rewirable fuses or your kitchen sockets are few and far between, now’s the perfect time to upgrade. A new consumer unit with RCBO protection will give better safety and compliance for modern kitchen appliances.
Thinking of Doing It Yourself?
Kitchen electrical work is classified as 'notifiable' under Part P of the building regs. DIY work here can be illegal—and dangerous. A bad job could void your insurance or fail to meet sale or rental requirements down the line.
We always recommend using a qualified, insured and certified local electrician.
