Our Domestic Bathroom Electrical Services

Bathroom Lighting Installation

The right lighting can completely transform a bathroom. It affects how the space feels, how practical it is to use, and how well it works with the rest of your home. We take the time to understand what you’re looking for before we start, so the end result genuinely reflects your taste and suits the way you live.

Our electricians handle everything from recessed IP65 downlights and LED strips to illuminated mirror cabinets and softer ambient fittings. Whatever you have in mind, we’ll make sure every fitting is correctly rated for its position in the bathroom and installed neatly and safely to current UK standards.

Whether you’re making one small change or upgrading the entire room as part of a bigger renovation, we’ll get it done properly, so it looks great and lasts.

If you’re interested in going a step further, we also install smart lighting systems that let you control the mood, cut your energy use, and manage your lighting from your phone or a simple switch. It’s a straightforward upgrade that makes a real difference day to day.

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for Bathrooms

If you’re about to renovate a bathroom, especially in an older property, it’s well worth finding out what you’re working with before the fitters move in. An EICR gives you a clear picture of the condition of your electrical installation and flags anything that needs attention before it becomes a problem.

We carry out a thorough inspection of your bathroom electrics, checking everything from the consumer unit and circuit protection through to the wiring, switches, light fittings, and the earthing and bonding that protects against electric shock. Once we’re done, we send you a written report that’s clear and easy to follow - no jargon, no confusion. If there’s anything that needs fixing, we’ll tell you exactly what it is and what we’d recommend.

We also work regularly with landlords who need to keep on top of their legal obligations. If you rent out a property, an EICR is required by law every five years, and we can make the process as straightforward as possible, from the inspection itself through to any follow-up work needed.

Why Bathroom Electrical Work Must Be Done by a Qualified Electrician

It’s not something that can be left to chance. Bathrooms are classified as “special locations” under UK wiring regulations precisely because of the risks that come with combining water, steam, and electricity in a confined space. The rules around what can be installed, where, and how are stricter here than anywhere else in the home, and for good reason.

Under Part P of the Building Regulations, all electrical work carried out in a bathroom must be done by a qualified, registered electrician and formally notified to Building Control. DIY bathroom electrics aren’t just potentially dangerous; they’re illegal, and they can invalidate your home insurance.

As a registered contractor, we can self-certify our own work and issue your certificates directly. You don’t need to contact your local council separately; we sort all of that for you.

How We Work: From Quote to Certificate

Step 1 - Free quote and site survey. Get in touch and tell us what you need. We’ll come out at a time that suits you, take a proper look at the job, and give you a written quote that’s clear and itemised. No nasty surprises, no obligation to go ahead.

Step 2 - Scheduled installation or inspection. Once you’re happy to proceed, we’ll book in at a time that works for you. We turn up when we say we will, work tidily, and do our best to keep any disruption to a minimum.

Step 3 - Testing and sign-off. When the work is done, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through what we’ve done. We won’t leave until you’re happy with the result.

Step 4 - Certificate issued. You’ll get your electrical certificate before we go, your written proof that the work has been done safely and to the required standard. Hold onto it; you’ll need it for your insurer, and if you ever come to sell.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Electrics

Do I need an electrician to install a light in my bathroom?

‍Yes, any electrical work in a bathroom, including fitting new lights or replacing existing ones, must be carried out by a registered electrician under Part P of the Building Regulations. We take care of all the certifications as part of the job, so you don’t need to worry about that side of things.

What does a bathroom EICR involve?

‍We inspect your consumer unit, wiring, switches, sockets, light fittings, earthing, and bonding, everything that makes up your bathroom’s electrical installation. You’ll get a clear written report explaining what we found and, if anything needs attention, what we’d suggest doing about it.

How often should I get an EICR carried out?

‍For homeowners, every ten years is generally recommended, or before carrying out significant renovation work. For landlords, it’s a legal requirement every five years across all rental properties.

What is Part P and why does it matter?

‍Part P is the section of the Building Regulations that covers electrical safety in homes. It requires that bathroom electrical work be done by a registered electrician and properly certified. Without that, your home insurance could be invalidated, and it can cause real headaches if you ever try to sell the property.

What certificate will I receive after the work?

‍You’ll receive either a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate or an Electrical Installation Certificate, depending on what was done. Both confirm the work is safe and compliant, keep them somewhere safe alongside your other property documents.

Do you offer smart bathroom lighting?

‍Yes. We install smart lighting systems that let you control your bathroom lighting from your phone or via a wall switch, great for adjusting the mood, saving energy, or just making life a little easier.
