Practical answers
Questions before you book.
Can the electrical work start before the kitchen plan is final?
Early advice is useful, but positions and equipment details need to be settled before wiring is installed. Changes after first fix can create extra work.
Ask Max about thisCan a replacement electric shower use the existing circuit?
Sometimes, if the existing supply is suitable for the exact replacement model. A higher-rated shower can need changes to the circuit or protection. Have both model specifications and the current installation checked before ordering; a similar casing does not establish electrical compatibility.
Ask Max about thisDo you fit bathroom extractor fans?
Yes. Tell Max about the room, the existing fan and what you want to improve. Agree the fan, controls, ducting and outside outlet before installation.
Ask Max about thisIs all kitchen electrical work notifiable?
No. Notification depends on the work. New circuits are notifiable, while some alterations to existing kitchen circuits are not. Bathrooms also have defined special-location requirements.
Ask Max about thisCan an induction hob use the existing cooker supply?
The hob's installation instructions and the existing circuit need to be checked together. Its headline power rating alone is not enough to approve the connection. Send the model details before ordering and say whether the oven, hob positions or kitchen layout are also changing.
Ask Max about thisCan you fit an illuminated bathroom mirror and shaver point?
Share the exact products and their proposed positions on the bathroom plan. Suitability depends on location, supply and the product instructions, so the electrical layout should be checked before tiling or purchasing. Mention whether the mirror also has a heater or other powered features.
Ask Max about thisWho arranges extractor fan ducting during a bathroom renovation?
Agree that responsibility with the electrician and fitter before work begins. The fan, duct route, external outlet and controls need to work together; replacing the electrical unit alone may not resolve poor extraction. Share the room plan and any existing ventilation problems with the enquiry.
