An island needs its cable routes before the floor and worktop are finished. Decide what it will power, where people sit and how the lighting relates to the final island position.
Share your plans and postcode. Max will discuss the work and price before you decide.

Plan this job
The decisions that
shape the work.
The island’s final position fixes the floor route, socket locations and any pendants above it. Confirm appliance requirements and seating before cabinetry and finished floors restrict changes.
Sockets and seating
Mark the seating, preparation areas and places where you will use small appliances. Choose socket positions that suit the cabinet construction and remain practical without leads trailing across seating or working areas.
Floor route and pendant positions
Confirm the island's final size and position with the builder and kitchen fitter. The cable route through the floor and any pendant-light positions need to align with the same drawing before access and finishes are fixed.

Practical answers
Questions about kitchen island sockets & supplies.
Can power be added after the island is fitted?
It may be possible, but finished floors and cabinetry can make routes more disruptive. Establish access before assuming a concealed connection is available.
Ask Max about thisAre pop-up sockets suitable for a kitchen island?
No. A pop-up accessory must suit the cabinet, location and manufacturer instructions. Compare reachable positions, space for plugs and future maintenance access with other suitable options before ordering.
Ask Max about thisCan the island hob use an existing kitchen supply?
The hob model, existing circuit and other connected loads determine that. Check the specification before purchase and include any enabling work in the quote.
Ask Max about thisWhere should island sockets go so plugs do not obstruct seating?
Keep outlets clear of stools, drawers and preparation space, with room for plugs to fit and remain accessible. Their position should follow the final island design and selected accessory, including its installation instructions. Confirm this before ordering cabinetry or finishing the floor.
Ask Max about thisDo kitchen-island pendants need to be positioned before the island arrives?
They can be set out from an accurate final plan, but the island dimensions and position must be confirmed. Share the fitting specifications as well as the cabinet drawing. Changes to the island centreline or seating arrangement should reach the electrician before the ceiling work is finished.
Ask Max about thisWhat affects the cost of getting electricity to a kitchen island?
The floor construction, available route and equipment being supplied are central to the quotation. A hob and several accessories can need a different arrangement from occasional charging alone. Confirm the island position before finishing the floor and agree any flooring, cabinetry or decorative repair work separately.
