FAQs
1. Why is bathroom electrical installation different to other rooms?
Bathrooms are high risk areas due to water and moisture which increases the risk of electrical shock. Special safety rules including bathroom electrical zones must be followed.
2. Do I need a qualified electrician for bathroom work?
Yes, you need a qualified electrician. Bathrooms are classified as special locations under regulations and require expertise to ensure electrical safety.
3. What is an IP rating and why is it important?
IP rating is how waterproof and dustproof electrical appliances are. It ensures devices like lights and extractor fans are safe for the correct bathroom zones.
4. Can I have standard sockets in my bathroom?
No, standard sockets are not allowed in bathrooms. We use shaver sockets and pull cord switches instead.
5. What is an RCD and why do I need one?
A Residual Current Device (RCD) will cut power in the event of a fault and protects you from electric shock. It’s required for all bathroom electrical circuits.
