Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does an induction hob need its own circuit?
Yes, in almost all cases. Induction hobs draw significantly more power than a standard socket circuit and need a dedicated, correctly rated circuit back to the consumer unit.
-
Can you fit an oven and hob together, or do they need separate work?
Usually separate circuits, one for the oven and one for the hob, though the exact setup depends on your kitchen layout and appliance ratings. We check this at quote stage.
-
Do I need Building Control notification for kitchen electrical work?
Some kitchen electrical work is notifiable under Part P. We’ll tell you upfront if your job falls into that category and handle the notification.
-
Can you work around my kitchen fitter’s schedule?
Yes, this is one of the most common ways we work. We coordinate first and second fix electrics around the fitting timeline.
-
My kitchen sockets keep tripping when I use the microwave and kettle together, what does that mean?
Usually it means too much load is on one circuit. We can assess and add a dedicated circuit if that is the fix needed.

Planning the Electrics for a New Kitchen
A kitchen refit almost always asks more of the electrics than people expect going in. An induction hob alone can need a dedicated circuit that most older consumer units were never designed to carry.
Getting the electrical plan agreed before first fix, socket positions, appliance circuits, lighting layout, saves reopening finished units later. We’re happy to work directly with your kitchen fitter or designer to get this right upfront.
If the rest of your consumer unit is older or already close to capacity, it’s worth checking it can take the extra load before appliances go in. See our consumer unit upgrade page for more.
