Working in Deeside

We cover every part of Deeside, including CH5, and nearby Hawarden (1.2 miles) and Buckley (3 miles).

Homes in and around Deeside vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Deeside bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. For Deeside homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in.

Supplies across most of Clwyd 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

Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
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.

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 Wales

Wales has its own Part P with a wider notifiable list than England, so more bathroom lighting work has to be notified. A registered electrician notifies it and gives you a certificate.

How long does new bathroom lighting take?

Can you have a normal plug socket in a bathroom?

Only if it is at least 3 m from the edge of zone 1, which rules it out in most UK bathrooms. The exception is a shaver supply unit, which has an isolating transformer and is designed for bathrooms. It should sit away from direct spray.
