Working in Greenford

We cover every part of Greenford, including UB1, UB5 and UB6, and nearby Northolt (1.5 miles) and Southall (1.5 miles).

London homes in Greenford often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For Greenford homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. Bathroom lighting in Greenford is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished.

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

A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
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

Feature lighting

LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.

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.

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.

Can you have a normal plug socket in a bathroom?
