Carrying on from our last post in our kitchen fitting guide is now the 2nd stage.  In stage 1  we took out the old kitchen so by now we should be left with an empty room.  I would now think about carrying out all the first fix electrical work.  This will need to be carried out by a professional electrician who is qualified to do so.  If the work is not carried out by an approved qualified electrician then they will be unable to offer a certificate when the works are complete. This then making your household insurance invalid. Also about 90% of house hold fires are caused by electrical faults so its really not worth taking the risk it has to been done properly. 

I always think as kitchen fitter you should be there when the electrician starts work so you can talk the job through with each other. This way you can mark out together where you want the electrical points to be. It is always worth involving the customer or if you our doing it your self your other half. Now have your kitchen plan to hand and mark on the walls vertical lines where the units will be going. It doesn't at this point need to be mm perfect.  Also write on the walls what unit is what for example 500 or D/W (meaning dishwasher.  Also mark the height of the worktops and if there are up stands the height of them.  Now mark the height of the top of the wall units as well. Lastly mark a centre line of where the extractor will be. Now you can see where everything will be situated you can start to set out where the electrical points will be going. This is where you would now leave the electrician to do his work.
