Circuits for two of everything
- A cooker circuit for each oven or hob, sized to the appliance.
- A dedicated circuit or fused spur for each dishwasher, plus the fridge, freezer and any second fridge.
- Enough socket circuits that the urn, hot plate, mixer and kettle can all run together on a Friday afternoon.
- A consumer unit with the spare ways to do it properly — often the board needs upgrading at the same time.
Sockets and timers where they are needed
We place the urn and hot plate socket where they stand all weekend, on a timer if you want it, rather than trailing leads across the worktop. Under-cabinet lighting can go on the same timer as the main kitchen lights.
A Pesach kitchen
Many families set up a second kitchen for Pesach in a utility room, garage or basement. That needs its own cooker circuit, sockets and lighting, and in a garage proper RCD protection. It is notifiable work, so we certify and register it.
Certification
Kitchen electrics are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. As a NICEIC registered firm we self-certify, register the work with the council and email you the certificate — the paperwork you will need when you sell or let.
