Working in Macclesfield
As well as Macclesfield itself (SK9, SK10 and SK11), we survey in Wilmslow, Bramhall and Congleton.
In Macclesfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey Macclesfield bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Macclesfield, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.
Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. 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
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
