Working in Ledbury

In Ledbury we cover HR8; we also cover Great Malvern, 6.7 miles away, and Ross on Wye.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ledbury: free survey, written quote, one team. For Ledbury homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. Landlords in Ledbury get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.

Most of Herefordshire has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
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
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray

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.

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.

Bathroom lighting in Ledbury: questions

New bathroom lighting in Ledbury usually costs £350–£1,200 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Do you cover HR8 in Ledbury?

Yes. We cover all of Ledbury, including HR8, and nearby Great Malvern, Ross on Wye and Tewkesbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
