Working in Crowborough

We cover every part of Crowborough, including TN6, and nearby Tunbridge Wells (6.6 miles) and Uckfield (7 miles).

Crowborough gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey Crowborough bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. If your Crowborough bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.

Water across much of East Sussex is 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

Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
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

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.

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 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.

Do I need an electrician to change a bathroom light?

Swapping a fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet the zone and IP rules. Anything new, such as an extra light, a moved switch or a new circuit, is notifiable in England and Wales and should be done by a registered electrician. Given the water risk, an electrician is the sensible choice for any bathroom lighting.
