Kitchen Lighting Installations

Task, Ambient & Feature Lighting

Kitchen lighting does more than almost any other electrical element to define how the room works day to day. A well-designed kitchen typically combines ambient ceiling lighting, task lighting over work surfaces and feature lighting for islands, pantries or display areas. Getting the balance right makes the kitchen both more functional and more enjoyable to use.

Our team installs a wide range of kitchen lighting for homeowners, from recessed LED downlights and pendant fittings over islands through to under-cabinet strip lighting and decorative feature lights. We can advise on the most effective lighting layout for your kitchen layout and carry out the full installation as part of a renovation or as a standalone upgrade.

Dedicated Circuits for Ovens, Hobs & Kitchen Appliances

The Right Circuit For The Right Appliance

Modern kitchens are full of high-demand appliances, and getting the underlying electrical provision right is essential. Electric ovens, induction hobs and electric cookers typically require their own dedicated circuits with appropriate cable sizing and circuit protection. Integrated appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines and refrigerators require correctly positioned switched fuse connection units, usually mounted above the worktop for accessibility.

Our team works with homeowners and kitchen fitters on kitchen appliance installations, advising on the correct electrical provision for every appliance before work begins. Where an existing consumer unit lacks capacity for additional circuits, we can upgrade it as part of the wider kitchen project, ensuring the finished installation is fully compliant and properly protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Kitchen Electrical Services FAQ

Current guidance recommends that kitchen sockets and switches should be installed at least 300mm horizontally from a sink or drainer and at least 100mm from a hob, to reduce the risk of water contact and heat damage. Sockets should also be easily accessible, which often means mounting them above the worktop or using switched fuse connection units above the counter for appliances fitted underneath. Our team will advise on the most practical and compliant socket positions for your specific kitchen layout.

In most cases, yes. Electric ovens and hobs typically draw significant power and require their own dedicated circuit, sized correctly for the kilowatt rating of the appliance, with appropriate cable and circuit protection. Separate ovens and hobs can often share a circuit where the combined load does not exceed the safe capacity, but many manufacturers recommend dedicated circuits for each. Our team will check the specification of your appliances before advising on the correct electrical provision.

Yes, and this is how most kitchen electrical installations are carried out. We coordinate with your kitchen fitter or builder to ensure the electrical work is completed at the correct stages of the project, including first-fix work before the kitchen is installed and second-fix work once the units are in place. This approach delivers a clean, compliant installation without delays to your overall programme.

Not always, but it depends on your existing setup. If your current consumer unit has spare circuits available and is already compliant with current regulations, it can often accommodate the new kitchen installation without any further work. Older consumer units, or those that are already fully loaded, may require upgrading as part of the kitchen project. Our team will assess your existing consumer unit during the initial survey and advise on whether any additional work is needed.
