Kitchen & Bathroom Electrics in Bristol

Kitchen Electrics

A modern kitchen may run an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer, boiling-water tap and a row of countertop appliances at the same time. Old ring circuits shared with the rest of the ground floor were never designed for that load. We plan dedicated circuits for the cooker and fixed appliances, sufficient socket outlets positioned where you will actually use them, under-cabinet and ceiling lighting on separate switching, and isolation switches where they are needed.

The best time to do this work is before the new units go in. We coordinate with your kitchen fitter so that cables, back boxes and isolators are in the right places before the carcasses are fixed.

Bathroom Electrics

Bathrooms are divided into zones that dictate what equipment can be installed where and how it must be protected. Electric showers need their own suitably rated circuit, extractor fans and lighting must be rated for the zone they occupy, and every circuit serving the room requires RCD protection. Supplementary bonding is assessed and installed where the installation needs it.

Part of a Bigger Project?

Kitchen and bathroom work is often the trigger for looking at the rest of the house. If the assessment shows the remaining wiring is tired, it is usually cheaper and less disruptive to deal with it at the same time – see partial rewiring and extensions and renovations.
