Restaurant Electrical Contractor Kent
Electrical contractor services for restaurants and commercial kitchens across Kent, London and the South East. Extraction, appliances and compliance.
Restaurants and commercial kitchens have some of the most demanding electrical requirements of any business — heavy loads, high temperatures, moisture and strict hygiene standards. DCC Electrics provides electrical contractor services for restaurants across Kent and the South East.
We install and maintain kitchen appliance circuits, extraction systems, lighting and front-of-house electrics with full compliance to commercial kitchen standards.
A restaurant's electrical system must support simultaneous high-load demands from ovens, hobs, fryers, refrigeration, extraction fans, and dishwashers while maintaining comfortable, atmosphere-enhancing lighting in the dining room. These two worlds — the demanding kitchen and the welcoming front-of-house — require careful circuit separation, correct protection, and reliable distribution.
Kitchen electrical installations must comply with BS 7671, BS EN 60309 (for industrial connectors), and the recommendations of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) for commercial kitchen ventilation and power. Our restaurant team understands these requirements and designs installations that satisfy food safety authorities, building control, and insurance inspectors.
Beyond the initial installation, restaurants need reliable ongoing support. We offer maintenance contracts that include periodic EICRs, monthly emergency lighting checks, and priority call-out rates. A kitchen electrical fault during service can cost a restaurant thousands in lost revenue and spoiled stock. Our rapid response keeps the kitchen running.

Our Process
How It Works
Restaurant Electrical Survey
We assess your kitchen equipment list, calculate total demand, review extraction and ventilation power, and evaluate front-of-house lighting and dining room requirements.
Circuit Design & Protection
We design dedicated circuits for each appliance group, specify appropriate protection, and plan the distribution to keep kitchen and dining circuits properly separated.
Service-Aware Installation
We schedule installation during closed periods, prep windows, and rest days. Emergency fault response is available during service when critical equipment fails.
Testing, Certification & EICR
Every circuit is tested, extraction power is verified, and emergency lighting is commissioned. We provide EICR, PAT testing, and all compliance documentation for your insurer and local authority.
