Working in Dungannon

In Dungannon we cover BT68, BT69, BT70 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Cookstown, 9.7 miles away, and Armagh.

Dungannon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Dungannon homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. We survey Dungannon bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

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

A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling

Decisions to make first

Integrated or replaceable LED

Integrated LED downlights are slimmer and fully sealed. Fittings with replaceable lamps let you change brightness or colour later.

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.

Is the water hard in Dungannon?

Does new bathroom lighting in Dungannon need building control approval?

Building control in Dungannon 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.

How long does new bathroom lighting take?

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.
