Working in Mountsorrel

We work right across Mountsorrel — LE4 — and in neighbouring Loughborough and Leicester.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Mountsorrel: free survey, written quote, one team. Bathroom lighting in Mountsorrel is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished. If your Mountsorrel bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.

Water across much of Leicestershire is hard. 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

RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance

Decisions to make first

Feature lighting

LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.

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.

Do I need an electrician to change a bathroom light?

Swapping a fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet the zone and IP rules. Anything new, such as an extra light, a moved switch or a new circuit, is notifiable in England and Wales and should be done by a registered electrician. Given the water risk, an electrician is the sensible choice for any bathroom lighting.
