Working in Sandown

We cover every part of Sandown, including PO36, and nearby Ryde (5.4 miles) and Newport (6.7 miles). Because Sandown is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Sandown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords in Sandown get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records. If your Sandown bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.

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

IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
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.

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.
