Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Magherafelt: free survey, written quote, one team. Bathroom lighting in Magherafelt is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished. For Magherafelt homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in.

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

Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
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
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance

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.
