Working in Amersham on the Hill
As well as Amersham on the Hill itself (HP5, HP6 and HP7), we survey in Amersham, Chesham and Chalfont St Peter.
Amersham on the Hill gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Amersham on the Hill bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Amersham on the Hill, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.
Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. 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
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
- 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
Colour temperature
Warm white, around 3000 K, feels softer; cool white, around 4000 K, is crisper for shaving and make-up. Mixing the two in one room looks uneven.
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.
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.
