Working in Wood Green

We work right across Wood Green — N8, N10 and N22 — and in neighbouring Muswell Hill and Tottenham.

London homes in Wood Green often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We survey Wood Green bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Wood Green, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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

Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
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

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.

Who handles building control for new bathroom lighting in Wood Green?

Building control for Wood Green 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.

What colour light is best for a bathroom?

A neutral or cool white, around 4000 K, gives clear light at the mirror for shaving and make-up. Warm white, around 3000 K, feels more relaxing for the room as a whole. Some illuminated mirrors let you switch between the two.
