Hi all, Just looking a rough steer on costs pls..... in Northern Ireland btw....
So installing a new kitchen .... some of the sockets are in roughly the correct place so do not require moving but further along the same wall I may add sockets. I am installing a quooker tap so not sure what wiring this requires (ie if it is just a socket?) However need a fused socket for the oven in a different place.... Also adding a peninsula and at the end of it the wall there is no current electrical sockets anywhere near here so this will require chasing (I presume) and prob would like a double socket x 2 there. The same island will require wiring for an induction hob. Above the peninsula I will be installing an extractor fan so will require the wiring for this .... it is designed to fit between the joists the electrician will be doing the work to take this outside - tubing etc. Currently at one end of the kitchen there is a pendant light..... this will be replaced by 6 spotlights/downlighters..... The other end of the kitchen has a pendant light which might require moving slightly to a different position to be above a table. The main light switch for the kitchen requires to be moved slightly along the wall and the emersion heater switch needs moved.... probably to the other side of the wall in which it is currently located..... (It is on the kitchen wall and behind it is the utility room where the switch could go. There is a current time unit for the heating system which is being replaced by some form of a unit which links to an app. In the utility room there is already power supply for the washing machine but this may need moved. There are various switches which need removed/made safe such as the old double oven switch as they are no longer required.
The kitchen ceiling is currently down.
There is a new pressurised water system being put into the house so any and all wiring connected to this and the heating is also being completed.... not sure exactly what is involved in this.
The electrician will be supplying all materials (basic white fittings for sockets) except for the extractor fan which I will supply.
What sort of a quote might I expect for this work..... just looking a ball park as I have no idea at all .... Many thanks
