We've recently tackled an exciting project in Newquay, Cornwall, seamlessly integrating a dedicated power supply for a new massage therapy room while maintaining the property's aesthetic appeal.
Our team took on the challenge of installing a 32A single-phase circuit to power a massage bed, requiring meticulous planning and execution to ensure both functionality and visual appeal. We began by mapping out the optimal route for the new circuit, starting from the mains power distribution in the garage and extending to the far side of the entrance hallway.
The heart of our approach lay in our commitment to concealing all cabling within the ceiling voids and walls, preserving the room’s clean look. We employed our dustless chasing tools to create precise channels in the masonry walls, allowing us to neatly tuck away the cables. This technique not only ensured a tidy installation but also minimised disruption and mess during the process.
Once the cables were in place, we filled the chases with a bonding coat plaster. This step was crucial in preparing the surface for the final touches of fine filling, sanding, and painting. Our goal was to leave the walls in a condition where, once decorated, there would be no trace of our electrical work visible.
We installed a 32A ‘commando’ style outlet on the front wall of the property, positioning it strategically next to an existing radiator. This placement allowed for easy access while maintaining the room’s layout and functionality. To future-proof the property’s electrical system, we also installed a 6-way RCBO fire-rated consumer unit with an integrated surge protection device. This addition not only provided capacity for the new circuit but also enhanced the overall electrical safety of the home.
Throughout the project, we adhered strictly to the current 18th Edition of the wiring regulations, ensuring every aspect of our installation met the highest standards of safety and compliance. Upon completion, we conducted thorough electrical testing, producing an Electrical Installation Certificate and submitting the necessary Building Control Notification of Electrical Works.
This project showcased our ability to blend technical expertise with considerate craftsmanship, resulting in a solution that not only met the client’s power needs for their new massage therapy room but also maintained the integrity and aesthetics of their property.
