What is not included

- Complete testing and handover information
What to include in your brief
- Kitchen plan

Choosing the right professional
Ask the electrician to assess equipment needs rather than count sockets alone. Confirm accessible isolation and the division between appliance fitting, connection and any upstream electrical changes.
