Working in Enfield

We work right across Enfield — EN1, EN2, EN3 and 6 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Edmonton and Tottenham.

London homes in Enfield often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Enfield bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Enfield, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.

Supplies across most of Greater London 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

RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
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
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray

Decisions to make first

Downlight positions

Evenly spaced downlights give flat, general light. Placing one over the shower and one over the basin puts the light where you actually use it.

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.

Is the water hard in Enfield?

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.
