Own a Property from the 60s, 70s or 80s?
Many homes in Kingswood, Downend and Emersons Green were built decades ago — and the original bathroom wiring simply isn’t up to today’s safety standards. If you’re updating your bathroom or having issues with tripping circuits, now’s the time to consider a professional bathroom rewire.
Signs You May Need a Bathroom Rewire
- Old-style fuse box (no RCDs)
- Aluminium or rubber cabling
- No earth bonding in the bathroom
- Lights or shower causing fuseboard trips
- Buzzing switches or loose pull cords
We often find unsafe legacy wiring hidden behind bathroom tiles or ceilings — especially in homes rewired before the 1990s.
What’s Involved in a Bathroom Rewire?
Our NAPIT registered electricians provide safe, legal rewires that comply with 18th Edition Amendment 2 regulations. A full bathroom rewire includes:
- Dedicated circuit for electric shower (if required)
- Low-voltage or IP-rated lighting installation
- Extractor fan wiring with isolator
- Bonding & supplementary earth protection
- Certification on completion (Building Control compliant)
