Working in Nantwich

We work right across Nantwich — CW5 — and in neighbouring Crewe and Sandbach.

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

Most of Cheshire has moderately hard water. 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

A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion

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.

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.

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.

Can I have an illuminated mirror in a bathroom?
