Working in Bletchley

We work right across Bletchley — MK1, MK2 and MK3 — and in neighbouring Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard.

In Bletchley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Bletchley get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records. Bathroom lighting in Bletchley is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished.

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

Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray

Decisions to make first

Feature lighting

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

Integrated or replaceable LED

Integrated LED downlights are slimmer and fully sealed. Fittings with replaceable lamps let you change brightness or colour later.

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.
