What tends to go wrong on these sites
Scope of works
- Fixed wire testing and emergency lighting for the customer-facing areas We will confirm it in writing.
- Commonly, load assessment before adding fryers, ovens or refrigeration
- Dedicated circuits and local isolation for each fixed kitchen appliance Ask if you want it explained on site.
Do not skip this — beyond BS 7671, catering sites are inspected by environmental health and are expected to evidence safe electrical maintenance. Documented fixed wire testing and appliance records are the usual proof.
Pricing works like this — we work around service. Most kitchen circuit work happens between close and prep, and where a full isolation is unavoidable we agree the window with the kitchen weeks ahead.
