Working in Enniskillen

We cover every part of Enniskillen, including BT74, and nearby Omagh (22.3 miles) and Strabane (33.7 miles).

Enniskillen gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Enniskillen homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. If your Enniskillen bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.

Supplies across most of County Fermanagh are soft. 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

A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket

Decisions to make first

Feature lighting

LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.

Switching

A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.

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.

More about bathroom lighting

Bathroom lighting in Enniskillen: questions

What is the price of new bathroom lighting in Enniskillen?

New bathroom lighting in Enniskillen usually costs £300–£1,050 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the water hard in Enniskillen?

Does new bathroom lighting in Enniskillen need building control approval?

Building control in Enniskillen is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

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.
