New kitchen does it need own fusebox or change just the mains fusebox?

[littlespark]

So the kitchen light will be on the old wiring, instead of being on the new fuse box?

Probably better that way so there is light when the new box is being worked on.

I took it that it would be on the kitchen supply, but the cable needed replacing. Having said that, I'm confused now.

OP, I think you should make sure your sparky and plasterer are both working to the same plan.

The fusebox will be in a cupboard next to the kitchen. He hasn't done anything with the wiring for the main light does this have to be on the new fusebox or can he simply change the fitting after the plastering is done. Its the same length and design just a modern one

Assuming the wire is in good condition then it is fine just to replace the baton light (presumably with a new LED style).

With a very similar fitting too? It won't affect the plastering?

Surely the light fitting won't be fitted on the ceiling while the plastering is being done? Is that what you mean - the plasterer will plaster around the fitting?

What i mean is if they plaster around the old fitting then replace the new one which is the same length and width do you think the plasterers can do that . And new wiring won't be needed for this. He has done first fix electrics elsewhere in the kitchen and added new sockets etc

Get the electrician involved well before any plastering takes place.

I can't see the sense in having a nice freshly plastered ceiling but plastering around a light fitting which you don't even want.

Am I missing something? Please someone tell me if I am.

Its going to be replaced with an identical one
