Working in Leighton Buzzard
We cover every part of Leighton Buzzard, including LU7, and nearby Dunstable (6.2 miles) and Bletchley (6.2 miles).
Homes in and around Leighton Buzzard vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey Leighton Buzzard bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. If your Leighton Buzzard bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.
Most of Bedfordshire has very hard water. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
- RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
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.
Mirror lighting
An illuminated mirror or mirror cabinet lights the face from the front, which a ceiling light cannot do. Many include a demister pad and a shaver socket.
Rules that apply in England
In England, Part P makes a new circuit, a consumer unit replacement and any addition or alteration to circuits in a room with a bath or shower notifiable. The work must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. Replacing a light fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet BS 7671.
