A kitchen rewire is an essential part of your home renovation project, especially if you’re thinking of a kitchen extension in Huddersfield. JP Electrical are experienced NICEIC electricians, working with you on all aspects of electrical planning, installation and testing.
1) Why think about a kitchen rewire?
A kitchen rewire should be included when planning an upgrade of your kitchen, kitchen extension or renovation.
Having worked with clients in Huddersfield on kitchen rewire projects, a new layout of the kitchen design is usually involved. This typically means removing any older wiring, laying new pathways for circuits and identifying new, more convenient locations for outlets and sockets.
With careful consideration and forward thinking, you can include some great features to futureproof your kitchen. Why not include smart home features, underfloor heating as well as including LED lighting?

Through modern electrical wiring, you can achieve greater energy consumption. This way you’ll create less wasted energy which will help keep utility bills low.
A kitchen rewire needs to be planned very early on during a project such as an extension or renovation. The majority of electrical installations such as the wiring, back boxes for outlets and lighting will need to be factored in before superficial work such as plastering the walls. You can really think about using your new space to its fullest potential in a more convenient manner for you.
You can accommodate for all those additional electrical appliances by adding extra sockets in the kitchen rewire design. Features such as under cabinet lighting and smart home thermostats can also be included in a kitchen rewire, adding convenience and design to your home in Huddersfield.
Back to top3) Who can fit a kitchen rewire?
A kitchen rewire should only be carried by a qualified electrician. A professional from a registered body such as NICEIC. We’re highly skilled and trained to work on circuitry work for dedicated kitchen appliances such as ovens and cookers. We have a thorough understanding of electrical regulations and safety standards as stated in BS7671.
To confirm all installation, wiring and testing falls under Part P building regulations, we provide an EIC or electrical installation certificate to demonstrate legal compliance once we’ve completed the kitchen rewire.
Back to top4) Will a kitchen rewire add value to my home?
As a homeowner, you might be interested to know that a kitchen review, if carried out by a qualified electrician, will add value to your property.
Homes where wiring has been upgraded and includes safety features such as RCD protection are major selling points. In comparison, homes where wiring is outdated can lead to lower offers due to associated risks.
The modern household now uses far more appliances compared to a decade ago. Having the electrical wiring to cope with additional power demands ensure compliance with regulations and generally safer electrical installations.
