Kitchen Electrical Installations
Thank you.
One of our friendly team will get back to you as soon as possible.
What we do
The electrics in your kitchen were designed for the previous kitchen and may not take any additional load that you may be putting onto it.
So it’s important to take this into consideration when planning that new kitchen installation that you might need to have your kitchen rewired. You might not need to have your electrics in your kitchen rewiring you may just want to move a few sockets or just add a double socket in the kitchen area, or add sockets for the new appliances.
For more information please contact us or telephone us directly.
Kitchen lighting is as important as the lighting in your lounge or bedroom. It helps with mood and comfort in the kitchen, but there are also practical considerations.
While you may eat at a dining table in the kitchen, for the most part you’ll be working, preparing meals, washing up, maybe even a spot of laundry. Kitchen lighting that’s effective in helping you work is key to making your time in the kitchen more enjoyable.
If your kitchen is small, it shouldn’t usually require a wide range of lighting points. Often a good number of recessed lights or perhaps a large centre light will be sufficient, as they provide great illumination throughout the whole kitchen area.
You may want to have a look at under cabinet lighting for the places around the worktop.
For larger kitchens, a single light generally won’t be adequate. Think about a mixture of standard lighting, particular lighting effects for worktops, as well as lighting effects to focus on unique areas of your kitchen.
Having lights under your wall cabinets will transform the look of your kitchen, pelmit lights as we call them come in a wide range of styles to suit your requirements.
These days a kitchen is not only a cooking place where you can produce a meals, it is a lot more likely to end up a meeting area, or a hang out, and yes a location to enjoy a meal. Each one of these areas might benefit from a different type of lighting.
The positioning of kitchen appliances is one of the first tasks when designing a kitchen. Because of this, the position of the power supply will be decided for you.
However, specifically if you have young children, it may be better to have the electrical sockets concealed beneath the worktop areas or behind cabinets and provide individual switches to isolate them at a higher level. Safety aside, this also eliminates your children accidentally switching the fridge freezer off.
The installation of or fitting an electric powered cooker should be done on its own circuit. An electric powered cooker should not be spurred from any other circuit and should be controlled by its own fuse within the consumer unit.
Electric powered cookers pull huge amounts of current due to the heat they produce therefore a greater fuse is needed as well as a thicker cable as well as a double pole isolator switch. Cookers should not be plugged in with an ordinary plug and socket they should be hard-wired into a wall plate with a separate switch to isolate the supply when necessary.

Really happy with the service we received when we needed an emergency electrician when our power was out. Very quick and friendly service came within an hour of call out and fixed our switch board straight away. Would highly recommend!
Really pleased with the way my Consumer unit replacement went! Very professional, knowledgeable and responsive company! I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Fantastic service! I would 100% recommend Lee and his team to others. I'm really pleased with my security lighting, you've all done a great job. Thank you!
On time good at their job. Nice friendly guys
Used Lee a number of times for some projects. Including change of the board, rewiring an oven, external lighting and light faults. Always on time, polite and friendly lads. Recommend to others
Rang Lee up at ProElec and explained the job, as the lady is 92, and partially sighted. They came the next day, as they are local to us. Absolutely fine, job done and so grateful for the speedy response. Would recommend to all.
Top quality service from Lee. Instalation of the new main panel and bathroom light fittings was completed without any issues and he made sure safe working practices were followed throughout the job. Everything was explained to me regarding changes and upgrades so that I understood it all properly, and they left the work areas clean and tidy. Friendly and professional, thank you.
Lee and Bailey did a great job setting up the electrics at our new house. Very friendly, communicative and professional. Fine work and highly recommended.
