Working in Clacton-on-Sea
We work right across Clacton-on-Sea — CO15 — and in neighbouring Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze.
Homes in and around Clacton-on-Sea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey Clacton-on-Sea bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Clacton-on-Sea, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.
Supplies across most of Essex are very 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
- Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
- 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
- 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.
