Working in Omagh

We cover every part of Omagh, including BT78 and BT79, and nearby Strabane (16.9 miles) and Enniskillen (22.3 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Omagh: free survey, written quote, one team. For Omagh homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. Landlords in Omagh get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.

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
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower

Decisions to make first

Downlight positions

Evenly spaced downlights give flat, general light. Placing one over the shower and one over the basin puts the light where you actually use it.

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.

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 Omagh?

Does new bathroom lighting in Omagh need building control approval?

Building control in Omagh 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.

What IP rating do bathroom lights need?

It depends on the zone. Lights inside the bath or shower tray (zone 0) need IPX7; above the bath or shower up to 2.25 m (zone 1) they need at least IPX4, or IPX5 where water jets are used; within 0.6 m of that (zone 2) IPX4 is recommended. Many electricians fit IP65 downlights over a shower whatever the ceiling height. See our bathroom zones guide.
