Working in Stanford-le-Hope
In Stanford-le-Hope we cover SS16 and SS17; we also cover Basildon, 3.3 miles away, and Pitsea.
In Stanford-le-Hope, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Stanford-le-Hope homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. We survey Stanford-le-Hope bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.
Water across much of Essex is 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
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
- A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
- RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
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.
