Working in Fraserburgh

We work right across Fraserburgh — AB43 — and in neighbouring Peterhead and Inverurie.

Fraserburgh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey Fraserburgh bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. Bathroom lighting in Fraserburgh is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished.

Most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower

Decisions to make first

Downlight positions

Evenly spaced downlights give flat, general light. Placing one over the shower and one over the basin puts the light where you actually use it.

Feature lighting

LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland has no Part P. Bathroom lighting must meet the building standards and BS 7671, including RCD protection and the zone rules, and small like-for-like work does not normally need a building warrant.

Where should the light switch go in a bathroom?

Usually outside the door, or inside as a ceiling pull-cord. Ordinary wall switches are kept out of the bathroom zones, and a pull-cord keeps the switch itself out of reach of wet hands.
