Working in Limavady

We work right across Limavady — BT49 — and in neighbouring Coleraine and Derry.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Limavady: free survey, written quote, one team. For Limavady homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. If your Limavady bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.

Most of County Londonderry 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

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
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights

Decisions to make first

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.

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 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.

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.
