Working in Coalville

As well as Coalville itself (LE67), we survey in Loughborough, Swadlincote and Mountsorrel.

In Coalville, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Coalville homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. We survey Coalville bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

Most of Leicestershire has hard water. 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 ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion

Decisions to make first

Integrated or replaceable LED

Integrated LED downlights are slimmer and fully sealed. Fittings with replaceable lamps let you change brightness or colour later.

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.

Bathroom lighting in Coalville: questions

Is the home survey in Coalville really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover LE67 in Coalville?

Yes. We cover all of Coalville, including LE67, and nearby Loughborough, Swadlincote and Mountsorrel. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
