Working in Ryde

We work right across Ryde — PO33 and PO34 — and in neighbouring Sandown and Newport. Because Ryde is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Ryde gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Bathroom lighting in Ryde is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished. Landlords in Ryde get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.

Water across much of the Isle of Wight is 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

A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
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
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion

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.

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.
