Working in Tottenham

We work right across Tottenham — N6, N8, N10 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Edmonton and Wood Green.

In Tottenham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. For Tottenham homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. Bathroom lighting in Tottenham 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

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

Decisions to make first

Colour temperature

Warm white, around 3000 K, feels softer; cool white, around 4000 K, is crisper for shaving and make-up. Mixing the two in one room looks uneven.

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.

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 Tottenham?

Who handles building control for new bathroom lighting in Tottenham?

Building control for Tottenham is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Where should the light switch go in a bathroom?

Usually outside the door, or inside as a ceiling pull-cord. Ordinary wall switches are kept out of the bathroom zones, and a pull-cord keeps the switch itself out of reach of wet hands.
