Working in Welling

We work right across Welling — DA6, DA15 and DA16 — and in neighbouring Bexley and Eltham.

In Welling, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Welling bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. Landlords in Welling get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.

Water across much of Greater London 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

A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights

Decisions to make first

Integrated or replaceable LED

Integrated LED downlights are slimmer and fully sealed. Fittings with replaceable lamps let you change brightness or colour later.

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 I have an illuminated mirror in a bathroom?

Yes. Illuminated mirrors made for bathrooms carry an IP rating for the zone they sit in and connect to an RCD-protected supply, usually switched with the room lights or by a sensor on the mirror. The cable position is set before tiling so the connection is hidden behind the glass.
