Working in Melton Mowbray
We work right across Melton Mowbray — LE13 and LE14 — and in neighbouring Oakham and Mountsorrel.
In Melton Mowbray, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey Melton Mowbray bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. If your Melton Mowbray bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.
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
- Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
- RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
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.
