Kitchen Electrics: Kitchen electrics covers the circuits, sockets, appliance connections and lighting needed for a kitchen refit or extension, including cooker and hob supplies and island power. Cardiff Electrician plans and installs kitchen wiring alongside your kitchen fitter and certifies it to BS 7671.
The kitchen is the busiest room in the house for electricity. Ovens, hobs, dishwashers, washing machines, fridges and countertop appliances all need the right supply in the right place. A new kitchen is the best chance to get it right, because once the units and worktops are fitted, moving a socket or adding a circuit is much harder.
Jorge works from your kitchen plan to agree socket heights, appliance positions, switched spurs and lighting. We do first fix before plastering and units go in, then return at the end to fit sockets, lights and connect appliances, coordinating with your kitchen fitter throughout.
Signs you need kitchen electrics
- You are having a new kitchen fitted or an extension built
- You never have enough sockets above the worktop
- You are moving appliances or adding a kitchen island
- You are switching from gas to an induction hob
- You want under-cabinet, plinth or pendant lighting
- Sockets are behind appliances with no way to isolate them
What's included
Worktop sockets and USB
We position double sockets and USB sockets along the worktops where you will use them, clear of the sink and hob, with enough outlets to banish extension leads.
Appliance circuits and spurs
We provide supplies for integrated appliances with switched spurs or isolators above the worktop, so appliances can be switched off without pulling the kitchen apart.
Cooker, hob and island power
We run dedicated cooker and hob circuits sized for your appliances and, where you want one, a safe supply to a kitchen island for sockets or a hob.
Kitchen lighting
We install downlights, pendants over islands, under-cabinet strips and plinth lighting, with switching and dimming planned around how you use the room.

Kitchen Electrics FAQs
When should the electrician start on a kitchen refit?
As soon as the old kitchen is out and before plastering. That is first fix, when cables and back boxes go in. Second fix comes once units and worktops are fitted, when we fit sockets and lights and connect appliances. Booking early helps your kitchen fitter keep the job on schedule.
Can I have sockets on a kitchen island?
Yes. Island sockets are popular for charging and small appliances. The supply is usually run under the floor, which is easiest during a refit when the floor is up or before the new floor is laid. Sockets can be fitted in the island side panel or as a pop-up unit in the worktop.
Does a kitchen refit need certification?
Yes. New circuits are notifiable under Building Regulations and come with an Electrical Installation Certificate under BS 7671. Smaller alterations to existing circuits come with a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate. Keep these safe, as buyers and insurers often ask for them later.
What affects the cost of kitchen electrics?
The size of the kitchen, the number of sockets and lights, how many new circuits are needed for cooker, hob and appliances, whether there is an island, and the condition of your consumer unit. Kitchen extensions often need more new circuits than a like-for-like refit.
Do you work with kitchen fitters?
Yes. We regularly work alongside kitchen fitters and builders in Cardiff and South Wales, agreeing timings for first and second fix so neither trade is held up. If you are managing the project yourself, we can help you plan the order of work.

I had a number of small electrical jobs for Jorge to do. He completed everything quickly, professionally and to a high standard. Jorge was very polite and helpful and clearly takes pride in his work. I would 100% call him if I need more electrical work doing.
I have been a private landlord 25 years and can count the reviews I've left on one hand. I've known Jorge several years. He is a trusted professional, timely and charges competitive rates.
We initially asked Jorge to help us after being let down by another electrician, and he was only too happy to help make some bad work safe... Jorge always explains what is going on and helps us understand more about how electrics work. He is thorough, leaves no mess behind and very reliable.
