We recently revisited a stunning project we completed with Kitchens by J.S. Geddes – and it’s a perfect reminder of why rewiring for a new kitchen isn’t just a good idea — in many cases, it’s essential.

Modern kitchens come packed with high-spec appliances, integrated lighting, and increased power demands. If your wiring is even a few decades old, it may not be safe or suitable for the demands of a brand-new kitchen.

Why You Should Rewire When Installing a New Kitchen

When investing in a kitchen transformation, the last thing you want is outdated or unsafe electrics hidden behind new cabinets. Here’s why a rewire makes sense:

1. Power for Modern Appliances

New kitchens often include double ovens, induction hobs, boiling water taps, integrated wine coolers, and more. These require dedicated circuits and updated consumer units to handle the load safely.

2. Safety First

Many older kitchens don’t meet current wiring regulations, especially when it comes to earthing, bonding, and RCD protection. A rewire ensures your kitchen is compliant and protected.

3. Lighting & Aesthetics

Feature lighting, LED strips, and spotlights need the right cabling and switching. A rewire gives you full flexibility to position lights where they make the biggest visual impact.

4. Futureproofing

With a fresh electrical layout, you’ll be set up for the future — whether that’s adding underfloor heating, new tech, or smart home features.

Project Spotlight: Designer Kitchen Rewire

At this property, we worked alongside J.S. Geddes to deliver a flawless finish — clean lines, warm LED lighting, and discreet power solutions designed to blend perfectly with marble, dark timber, and bronze finishes.

We returned recently to test and sign off the final installation, ensuring everything was working exactly as intended. From start to finish, this kitchen was powered and lit by Seamill Electrics — supporting some of Scotland’s finest kitchen design with reliable, safe, and high-end electrical work.
