Kitchen
- Power points along every bench run, plus USB points where phones live.
- A dedicated circuit for the oven and cooktop. Induction cooktops often need a bigger supply than old gas or ceramic units.
- Power for the rangehood, dishwasher, fridge, microwave and any island bench.
- Under-cabinet strip lighting to light the bench properly.
- Pendant positions over the island, centred on the bench, not the room.
Bathroom
- Exhaust fan ducted outside, not just into the roof space.
- Power for heated towel rails, a shaver point or a backlit mirror.
- Lighting that's flattering at the mirror, not just a single light overhead.
- Safe zones around the bath and shower, which an electrician plans for you.
Whole-house items to consider
- Is the switchboard big enough for the new circuits?
- Smoke alarms: renovations are a good time to upgrade to hardwired and interconnected.
- Data points for TVs and home offices while the walls are open.
Rough-in, then fit-off
We run cables and boxes at the rough-in stage, before plastering, then come back to fit switches, power points and lights once the finishes are done. Getting the rough-in right is what makes the end result look neat.
