Choosing Kitchen Appliances for Your Extension
PremiumWhat to buy, when to specify it, and the electrical requirements your trades need. Quooker installed costs £1,400–£2,900.
Do this first:
Every appliance you put in your kitchen needs something from the build. The oven needs a dedicated 32A circuit. The induction hob needs another one. The American fridge-freezer with an ice maker needs a water pipe routed to a wall that your plumber hasn't thought about yet. And the Quooker needs a power socket inside the under-sink cupboard that nobody will remember unless you tell them.
Appliance selection isn't shopping. It's specification. The choices you make here ripple backward into first-fix electrics, first-fix plumbing, and your kitchen company's housing unit sizes. Get the specification to your trades late, and they'll either guess (wrong) or charge you to come back and redo it.
