Kitchen Services

Electricity: there must be enough power points for the range of equipment to be used. They must also be well away from wet areas for safety reasons. A separate supply is needed for electric cookers.

Lighting: a high level of illumination is required

Gas: this must be installed only by a competent person. The size of the supply pipe must not be smaller than the inlet connection to the appliance.

Water: A supply of both hot and cold water will be needed for sinks and additional plumbing will be required for washing machines and dishwashers.

Waste Disposal: all used water from washing, cooking etc. must be linked to drainage outlets and this can influence the placing of items within the kitchen. The disposal of solid waste needs some consideration and there should be free access to waste bins. Waste disposal units can be fitted if required.
