Working in Craigavon

As well as Craigavon itself (BT63, BT64, BT65 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Portadown, Banbridge and Armagh.

Homes in and around Craigavon vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Craigavon, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. We survey Craigavon bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

Most of County Armagh is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. 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
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray

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.

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 Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland has no Part P. Lighting work should follow BS 7671 as good practice, with the circuit tested and a certificate issued.

Does new bathroom lighting in Craigavon need building control approval?

What IP rating do bathroom lights need?

It depends on the zone. Lights inside the bath or shower tray (zone 0) need IPX7; above the bath or shower up to 2.25 m (zone 1) they need at least IPX4, or IPX5 where water jets are used; within 0.6 m of that (zone 2) IPX4 is recommended. Many electricians fit IP65 downlights over a shower whatever the ceiling height. See our bathroom zones guide.
