Being a smaller town does not change how we work in South Ockendon: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords in South Ockendon get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records. For South Ockendon homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in.
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
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
- 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.
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.
