Energy Saving
Programmable underfloor heating and efficient showers can significantly reduce your energy bills.
Safe Bathroom Electrical Work Across the West Midlands
Bathrooms are the highest-risk room in a home for electrical work. The combination of water, steam and live electricity demands strict compliance with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations, which divide the bathroom into defined zones and specify precisely which types of electrical equipment are permitted in each. Zone 0 — inside the bath or shower itself — allows only SELV 12V equipment. Zone 1 above the bath requires IPX4-rated fittings as a minimum. Getting this wrong is not just a building regulations failure — it can be fatal.
All new bathroom electrical circuits, including electric showers, underfloor heating and lighting, must be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations. This means only a registered competent person scheme member — like FACE Electrical, NAPIT registered — can legally carry out and certify this work without requiring a separate local authority building control application. Using an unregistered electrician not only puts your family at risk but creates serious problems for your home insurance and any future property sale.
FACE Electrical carries out bathroom electrical work for homeowners across Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield, Solihull, Walsall, Coventry and the wider West Midlands. We install electric showers on correctly rated 40A or 45A circuits with RCD protection, electric underfloor heating with programmable thermostats, IP65-rated LED ceiling lights, humidity-triggered extractor fans and isolated shaver sockets — all with the Part P completion certificate you need for your records.
We work cleanly and carefully to protect existing tiles and fittings throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Part P certification for an electric shower?
Yes. Any new circuit in a bathroom — including electric showers — must be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations. We handle this as part of our service.
What zones apply in a bathroom?
Zone 0 is inside the bath/shower, Zone 1 directly above, and Zone 2 extends 60cm outward. Only specific IP-rated equipment is permitted in each zone. We ensure full compliance.
Can I have underfloor heating under any floor type?
Electric underfloor heating works under most floor types including tiles, laminate and engineered wood. We survey your floor build-up and recommend the correct system.
How long does a bathroom electrical fit-out take?
A typical bathroom rewire with shower and lighting takes 1–2 days. Underfloor heating adds around half a day.
