Bathroom Electrical Installations

As far as electricity is concerned, the bathroom is possibly the most dangerous room in the house.

Water is a very efficient conductor of electrical current which makes the combination of water and electricity potentially lethal.

As such, it is essential that any electrical systems in the bathroom are installed and tested by professionally qualified electricians. We have installed new electric systems into bathrooms as well as upgraded and modernised existing electrical circuits to comply with Section 701 of BS 7671:2008, and Part P of the Building Regulations.

Bathroom Electrical Installations
The most common electrical installations for a bathroom include:

  • Installing or replacing a shaver socket
  • Installing or replacing an extractor fan to help minimise moisture in the bathroom that can lead to condensation and damp problems. We can supply and fit both humidistat fans that automatically turn on when it senses too much moisture in the air as well as timer fans which come on with your bathroom light and turn off a few minutes after the light is turned off.
  • Installing or replacing light fittings from central lights to spotlights and mirror lights.
  • Installing or replacing an electric shower

Rewires

After a number of years wires in a home or commercial building can become damaged through DIY or just general deterioration. In this instance a rewire of the house of affected areas may be recommended.

Many people only get their home or building re wired when they have discovered a problem but if you have regular testing such as domestic testing, BS7671 IEE Tests or Visual Inspections problems can be spotted earlier so you can get re wiring done in specific problem areas or just fixes that will last much longer and save you money in the long run.

As a general rule rewiring should be carried out after about 25 years but if good inspections and maintenance are carried out you may not need the full cost of a complete rewire. Rewiring is rarely as simple as it sounds and often as well as rewiring replacement sockets and circuit boards are needed as these are also affected by general age and deterioration.

An electrical rewire needs to be carried out by a qualified and experienced electrician; a rewire is not a simple job that a beginner or a DIY enthusiast can carry out. If a rewire is not done properly your wiring could fail compliance and safety regulations and you could be putting your home at risk.

Mains Powered Smoke Detectors

Did you know that you are more than twice as likely to die in a fire in your own home if you have not got a smoke alarm.

A smoke alarm is the easiest and best way to give you early warning to the danger of fire, which will then hopefully give you time to safely escape. Smoke alarms do actually save lives. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads very fast and you need smoke alarms to give you that advanced warning and time to get out.

Having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in half. Almost two thirds of house fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms at all, or no working smoke alarms because they were never checked.

Extra sockets

Speak to us about adding extra sockets to their home or office, as technology develops more electronic devices are affordable, when once upon a time you would only need an electric socket for the TV and perhaps a light, now you may need extra sockets for your Digital TV, DVD players, computers, laptops, Games consoles, lights, digital photo frames etc.

Extra sockets are always needed in older houses that never took into account such appliances when the house was designed and built. Even some newer houses may need extra sockets especially if you have lots of Games consoles, like a Wii, Xbox and Playstation all of which need an accessible power supply.

You should never try to add extra sockets yourself as this needs a qualified electrician to wire them up safely and ensure they meet the required standards. Extra sockets are a relatively quick and simple job for a trained electrician and can be hassle free for you as the job is done quickly and safely.

Adding extra plug sockets can make your home much safer and tidier as you eliminate the need for extension cables and wires which can be a health and safety hazard for fires, surges and tripping over.

Kitchen rewires

When dealing with wires and electrics in the Kitchen it is very important to use a qualified electrician as it can be very dangerous mixing electric and water.

As with bathroom fittings like electric showers and heated towel rails it is important to get kitchen appliances fitted properly, with the amount of plumbing and water in kitchens you need to be very careful wiring.

If you are having a new kitchen fitted and extra electrical appliances fitted then always get a trained electrician to do your kitchen wiring and rewiring. When adding extra plugs and wiring the kitchen it is important to consider how it will look, you should make sure plugs aren’t too close to any sinks; or places where a leak could make them dangerous.

Make sure plug sockets are not too expose and limit the number of sockets exposed on the surface. Your electrician will be experienced in wiring up kitchens and be able to advise on the best and safest solutions.
