Working in Leominster

As well as Leominster itself (HR6), we survey in Hereford, Ledbury and Great Malvern.

Leominster gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Leominster, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. Landlords in Leominster 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
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights

Decisions to make first

Switching

A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.

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.

Do I need an electrician to change a bathroom light?

Swapping a fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet the zone and IP rules. Anything new, such as an extra light, a moved switch or a new circuit, is notifiable in England and Wales and should be done by a registered electrician. Given the water risk, an electrician is the sensible choice for any bathroom lighting.
