Working in Bexhill-on-Sea
As well as Bexhill-on-Sea itself (TN38, TN39 and TN40), we survey in Hastings, Hailsham and Eastbourne.
Homes in and around Bexhill-on-Sea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Bexhill-on-Sea homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. Landlords in Bexhill-on-Sea get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.
Supplies across most of East Sussex are hard. 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
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
- 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
Switching
A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.
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 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.
