Working in Beverley

We cover every part of Beverley, including HU17, and nearby Kingston upon Hull (7.9 miles) and Brough (10.1 miles).

Homes in and around Beverley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Beverley get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records. For Beverley homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in.

Most of the East Riding of Yorkshire has hard water. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling

Decisions to make first

Switching

A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.

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 England

In England, Part P makes a new circuit, a consumer unit replacement and any addition or alteration to circuits in a room with a bath or shower notifiable. The work must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. Replacing a light fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet BS 7671.

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.
