Working in Newton Aycliffe
As well as Newton Aycliffe itself (DL4 and DL5), we survey in Bishop Auckland, Spennymoor and Darlington.
In Newton Aycliffe, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Bathroom lighting in Newton Aycliffe is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished. If your Newton Aycliffe bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.
Supplies across most of County Durham 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
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
Decisions to make first
Switching
A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.
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.
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.
