Working in Carnoustie

In Carnoustie we cover DD7; we also cover Arbroath, 6.1 miles away, and Dundee.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Carnoustie: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Carnoustie bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. We survey Carnoustie bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

Water across much of Dundee and Angus is 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.

What the job includes

A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing

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 Scotland

Scotland has no Part P. Bathroom lighting must meet the building standards and BS 7671, including RCD protection and the zone rules, and small like-for-like work does not normally need a building warrant.

Is the home survey in Carnoustie really free?

Is the water hard in Carnoustie?

Where should the light switch go in a bathroom?

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.
