Working in Cookstown

As well as Cookstown itself (BT80), we survey in Magherafelt, Dungannon and Portadown.

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

Most of County Tyrone 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
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
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing

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.

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.

Usually outside the door, or inside as a ceiling pull-cord. Ordinary wall switches are kept out of the bathroom zones, and a pull-cord keeps the switch itself out of reach of wet hands.
