Hi there,
Im going to get a bathroom refurbished by a bathroom fitter / plumber and need to have some changes done to the lighting. At the moment there’s one large central overhead light and a bathroom mirror with a light.
Im planning to change that to 4 overhead spots, and put a new mirror in which hopefully can use the same electrical supply as the existing mirror.
The fitter, in part of his quote, has an item ‘Cut holes and run cables in the ceiling for spot lights then overboard in preparation for plastering’.
Having looked into this a bit it seems he’s not registered to sign off changes to bathroom electrics. Fair enough, he’s a plumber / bathroom fitter.
So my questions are :
1/ Do I need a part P registered electrician to fit the lights (including running the cables) so that he can sign off his own work ?
2/ If the bathroom fitter puts the lights in, can an electrician be brought in to inspect and certify it to the same level as if an electrician did it from the start ? Initial research suggests this isnt that straightforward.
The main aim is to not run into issues with the work in a few years time if I sell the flat. I want whatever certification is necessary.
Hoping you electrical guys out there can help !
Thanks
