Planning a kitchen rewire

Electrician Beverley are NAPIT approved electricians who have skills and experience to guide you through questions like how many outlets you need, the type of lighting you want to install and how best light fittings should be wired in. Wiring for dedicated circuits for larger appliances such as cookers need to be factored in the planning stage and installed by a qualified electrician too. So you can see why planning a kitchen rewire needs to ensure safety and compliance with Building Regulations.

Why might I need to think about planning a kitchen rewire in Hull?

Bessingby Grove in Hull was the site of a recent project where a full kitchen rewire was installed by Electrician Beverley. The property was built towards the late 1990s as part of an expansion project to provide additional housing for the local community. The homeowners contacted Electrician Beverley as the property desperately needed a kitchen extension to accommodate for the expanding family and hungry grandchildren. By contacting Electrician Beverley at the earliest point, we were heavily involved in planning a kitchen rewire which met aesthetic and functional requirements.

What do I need to include when planning a kitchen rewire?

During initial consultations with the customers in Hull, we identified how the kitchen would be used by the family as well as the basic requirements like lighting and wiring for outlets and appliances.

As the customer was going for LED spotlights, Electrician Beverley made sure lighting circuits were wired to accommodate for the new light fixtures. Careful planning of wiring was required to accommodate for pendant lighting which was to be installed above the kitchen island.

Having enough outlets to plug in appliances was another necessity so the routes for electrical wiring were included in the planning and design stage.

This particular customer loved cooking up a storm in the kitchen and did request an electric cooker which needed to be planned for. Most electric cookers do need a dedicated circuit which typically requires heavy duty wiring to draw a greater amount of power.

When to contact an electrician if planning a kitchen rewire?

Contacting Electrician Beverley early on to discuss planning your kitchen rewire will make sure the wiring design and floor plans do meet BS 7671 Wiring Regulations. Once the exact location for outlets, switches, lighting fixtures and positions for electrical appliances such as cookers is confirmed, the next part of your kitchen fit out can take place seamlessly as we’ve laid all the groundwork. It would be impossible to install electrical wiring if the kitchen included cabinets and counters tops so working on an empty shell pre-plastering is the recommended stage for the first “fix”.This way we can make sure electrical wiring is installed correctly and safely.

By installing electrical wiring in an empty kitchen, we can easily make changes and investigate any potential problems without having to dismantle parts of your brand new and expensive kitchen fittings.
