Working in Letchworth Garden City
We work right across Letchworth Garden City — SG5, SG6 and SG15 — and in neighbouring Hitchin and Stevenage.
In Letchworth Garden City, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Letchworth Garden City, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. Landlords in Letchworth Garden City get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.
Supplies across most of Hertfordshire 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
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
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.
Feature lighting
LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.
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.
