Homes in and around Lytham St Annes vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Lytham St Annes homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Lytham St Annes, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.
Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
- RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
- Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
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.
