Is it not Part P notifiable being in a bathroom?


A like for like swap would be non notifiable even in a "special
location". However swapping from an electrically heated shower to a
power shower is stretching the definition of "like for like" a little.
Especially as it unlikely to be doable without at least some
modification to the wiring.


when I installed a power shower some years ago, the supply to the unit was
low voltage fed from a transformer. Does Part P then apply?


Probably depends on where the mains side of it was located.
