Poulton-le-Fylde gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey Poulton-le-Fylde bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. If your Poulton-le-Fylde bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.
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
- Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
- A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
Decisions to make first
Colour temperature
Warm white, around 3000 K, feels softer; cool white, around 4000 K, is crisper for shaving and make-up. Mixing the two in one room looks uneven.
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.
