Which towns do we cover in County Tyrone?

Supplies across most of County Tyrone 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. For Omagh homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in.

What the job includes

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
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
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

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.

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.

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

BS 7671 sets the rules for bathroom electrics across the UK. Every circuit in a room with a bath or shower needs 30 mA RCD protection. Zone 0 is inside the bath or shower tray and needs IPX7 fittings; zone 1 is above it up to 2.25 m and needs at least IPX4, or IPX5 where water jets are used; zone 2 extends 0.6 m out from zone 1, where IPX4 is recommended. Sockets other than shaver supply units must be at least 3 m from the zone 1 boundary.

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?
