Working in Skelmersdale
We work right across Skelmersdale — WN8 — and in neighbouring Ormskirk and Wigan.
Homes in and around Skelmersdale vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey Skelmersdale bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. For Skelmersdale homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in.
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
- A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
- 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.
