Hi,
We are planning to have our kitchen refurbished.
The whole house was rewired four years ago.
Kitchen is now on its own ring main.
If we need additional electrics work done to the kitchen ie. moving a socket or installing a new fused spur for a washing machine can anyone tell me what is the procedure an electrician should follow.
1) Does he need to open existing CU?
2) Is everything checked?
3) if the regs have changed since 2007 does he need to carry out other work?
The reason I am asking is because I want to make sure no additional works is sold to me unnecessarily by the builders I will be getting to wuote for the whole refurb.
many thanks
