Working in Thornton-Cleveleys
We work right across Thornton-Cleveleys — FY2, FY5 and FY6 — and in neighbouring Poulton-le-Fylde and Fleetwood.
In Thornton-Cleveleys, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Thornton-Cleveleys get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Thornton-Cleveleys, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. 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
- 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
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
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.
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.
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.
