Working in Welwyn Garden City
We work right across Welwyn Garden City — AL7 and AL8 — and in neighbouring Hatfield and Hertford.
In Welwyn Garden City, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey Welwyn Garden City bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. Bathroom lighting in Welwyn Garden City is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished.
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
- Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
- RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
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.
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.
