SM Electrical Services coordinates sockets, lighting, appliance supplies and wiring so the finished kitchen is safe, practical and ready to use.

Socket positions need to match the worktop layout, lighting needs to suit the way the space will be used and larger appliances may need dedicated electrical supplies. Bringing an electrician into the planning stage helps prevent delays, inaccessible sockets and expensive changes once the kitchen has been fitted. SM Electrical Services can work directly with you or coordinate with your kitchen fitter, builder or designer. ## Kitchen electrical services #### Kitchen rewires and wiring alterations Upgrade or alter the kitchen circuits to support the new layout. A full kitchen rewire may be recommended where the existing wiring is unsuitable, while some projects only need targeted alterations. #### Sockets and switches Plan sockets for worktops, appliances, islands and everyday equipment, with switches positioned around how the kitchen will be used. #### Appliance supplies Provide suitable electrical supplies for ovens, induction hobs, dishwashers, washing machines, refrigeration and other fixed appliances where required. #### Kitchen lighting Install ceiling lighting, pendants, downlights, wall lighting and other practical lighting points. #### Under-cabinet and feature lighting Add task lighting beneath wall units or feature lighting around shelving, plinths and other details. #### Extractor fan connections Provide suitable electrical connections for cooker hoods and extractor fans as part of the planned installation.

During the first fix, cables and electrical supplies are installed before the walls, units and finishes are complete. During the second fix, sockets, switches, lights and appliance connections are fitted once the relevant parts of the kitchen are ready. The exact sequence depends on the project. We’ll agree access and timing with you and the other trades, helping the work progress in the right order.

Ideally, before the old kitchen is removed or as soon as the final layout is available. Early planning gives more options for socket, lighting and appliance positions. Can you work with my kitchen fitter? Yes. We can coordinate the electrical stages with your fitter, builder or other contractor.  Do I need new circuits for kitchen appliances? Some larger appliances may require dedicated circuits. We’ll assess the appliance requirements and the existing electrical installation. Can you install under-cabinet lighting? Yes. We can plan suitable task or feature lighting around the kitchen design.  Will the work be certified? Appropriate certification will be provided where required for the electrical work completed.  How long does kitchen electrical work take? It depends on the size of the kitchen, the extent of the wiring changes and the wider renovation programme. We’ll explain the expected stages and timing before work starts. ## Plan the electrical work before the kitchen is fitted Send us the proposed kitchen layout or arrange a site visit. We’ll help you plan the sockets, lighting and appliance supplies, then provide a clear quotation for the electrical work.
