Hi Londonite, my advice depends on which route you go down for your kitchen:
1) There are some building firms that also offer bespoke kitchen design and installation.They will come out and firstly inspect the existing electrics to confirm if it does need a re-wire (and anything else you want/need doing). This way, it is all under one accountable party
2) Bring in a trusted, referred building firm to investigate the electrics and other things and get them to strip out the existing kitchen and fix all the basic building works. Talk to a specialist kitchen supplier to design and install your new kitchen once all the basic works have been completed. Most of these kitchen companies will not provide all the general building works required and also, you will need the builder/qualified electrician to do the second fix once the kitchen is installed and provide you with a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate.
If it was me, I would go down route 2 as it will give you more choice for the kitchen design, but does require a little more work on your behalf.
